I’m really happy to see you continue to expand your range of helpful little apps.

My favourite thing about your approach is that you don’t force people to make a decision up-front about what type of content they’re adding – they’re just adding content and they can shape it later, via tags, to-do’s, linking, and the rest. For me, the problem with something like Basecamp is that everything is only a whiteboard, or a milestone, a to-do… people don’t work like that, you need flexibility to multi-purpose content and decide, after you’ve started typing, what it is you’re really creating.

Now, on the question at hand – I can see the confusion about what exactly Paprika and Staction are for when used together. My opinion is that you should release another product, one that uses a single store of data, and has different views depending on what you’re trying to achieve – one view looks like Staction, another view looks like Paprika. There’s no need to keep the apps separate when they’re doing such similar things.

I use TiddlyWiki (tiddlywiki.com) a lot, which lets you create microcontent (tiddlers) and then do whatever you want with them via macros (written in JavaScript). The way I use it is already a bit like Paprika, with special bits of wiki-syntax having a certain function; and it’s a bit like Staction, in that I track my time via tiddlers, where the analysis is performed automatically.
