Nitro Pro is Half Off

We’ve been using the free Nitro product offering for quite some time, and have even been recommending it to clients as the best free PDF reader and PDF printer-based creator.
Nitro has a special going right now where they are selling their products for %50 off, bringing it down to around $60. This would be a great time to buy it, especially if you are looking to do PDF publishing or professional PDF creation.
Cheers!

Feature Request: The New Basecamp

* The ability to “Star” tasks and have them show up in a central place on the Dashboard (i.e. tasks I’m going to do today vis a vis GTD)

* Toggle-able, searchable, inherent Priority tab on every task (with custom priority levels) aka tags for to-do’s

 

Also:

 

* Drag-able content on the “Me” page, as well as

* Saving the last state of the To Do’s drop down select on page refresh/reload

* The pop up for the due date / assignee should not disappear in between selecting the two of those. (This makes 4 clicks for setting both, instead of 3…)
