desktop app...

I don't know if this would completly be beyond the scope or point of RTM (Which by the way is awesome! Thank you to Emily, Omar and Bob...) but i think that a really great tool would be a simple desktop application that could be used when your computer is offline. As a laptop user i'm often at my computer but not in range of internet. it would be good if there was an application that could be used to download your lists when you are online, and allow you to edit (or even just view) them without access to the internet. At the moment i have to save the print view onto my computer and look at that for when i am away from the internet.

While my following suggestion is a far cry from a desktop app, I encourage you to try subscribing to your lists' feeds with a feed reader that will cache them and display them offline. This does the trick for my reference purposes.

For example, I use iCal to get the feeds, which then go from there to my iPod and my Palm. Works well.

(this don't mean an app would b cool.)

Or you can just open a weekly planner and save that page to HD.

good idea benpage26. I second you.

Or some firefox extension like the new del.icio.us extension which allows users to access their bookmarks even when offline.

There is a C-based API available...

I'm sure someone with some good vB experience can whip up a GUI app that could interface with RTM while offline... Anyone?

Regarding the comment about subscribing to your list's feed via an RSS reader - I use one from Yahoo Widgets that displays my task list on my desk top. Very handy.

I would love to see something like Evernote 3 for RTM with Offline use and online syncing.
