New app on the block: "Flow" Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
It would be a great addition to OF. Would be interesting to hear Omni's position on this regard...
 
After going through a little more I have to say wow... this kind of delegation | group functionality would be really good for my work environment. Really sweet!
 
I like the power of OF, but I've struggled with its Mac user interface and all that power comes with a complexity that makes it difficult for me to use. On the other hand Things has a great look, is easy to use, but limited in functionality and the product development is static. I've gone back and forth between the two for awhile now, being never quite satisfied with either.

Then I looked at Flow. Flow has the look and feel of Things with the ability to delegate and track tasks to team mates. It lacks some basics, like recurring tasks, but from what I can tell all this functionality is planned soon for future releases.

It's expensive relative to OF and Things, but the multiuser functionality makes it worth it for my organization. For now, it's our "to-do" app of choice, but I won't hesitate to re-look at OF (or Things) as they improve their product.

The competition between these three apps is going to be of great benefit to us users.
 
The hard part about a multi-user environment with OmniFocus is that your co-workers/company has to buy into the GTD concept in the first place!

Some folks may just consider it a major annoyance to have to work in a GTD workflow while others may consider it a Godsend!
 
Flow is fantastic. It's fast and elegant, has a smart UI.

It's going to do very well. The collaboration features aren't something I need but I do love their implementation of tags. I've been feeling more and more limited by OmniFocus's literal Contexts as of late.
