At the moment, Should Do This is a mirror for 43 Places. I like the Should Do This concept and hope the Robots come back to the project.

Change the wording on Zeitgeist to "people to whom you're subscribed"
–1 cheer
Agreed – this is something up with which we should not put.
43 Things
should
allow sub-things or thing steps
–2 cheers
For several of my 43 Things, I have many small steps to make. For a simple example, look at the goal “Give 4300 cheers.” First, I have to give 1000, then 2000, etc. For more complex goals, like “Learn Spanish,” sub-things or thing steps might include “get a high school Spanish book on Amazon,” “Use the ATM in Spanish,” and “Read my city’s weekly Spanish newspaper from start to finish this week.”
I would appreciate the functionality to “nest” goals – to make some goals smaller parts of a larger goal. It would be OK to keep the quota at 43 – if I have 5 sub-things under “have a full-length book of poetry published by a reputable publisher of poetry,” you can count the big goal and all the sub-goals as part of my 43 maximum. I just want the ability to do it.

should
call untitled entries something other than "untitled," or better yet nothing at all
–3 cheers
Many, many entries are titled “untitled.” By calling these entries “untitled,” the 43 Things system is really giving them titles, which is against the entire concept of an untitled entry. Perhaps if a title is not given, the current date and time can be used as a title, or perhaps the title of the goal under which the entry is made.
