    Should not do this

    I dont mind one way or another about the “untitled” as the title, but the hyperlink from the subscription page to the entry that it provides is nice.



    Should do this

    Yes, the “untitled” headlines should remain unnamed at all. – So, I can mention things I figured out without adding a headline to them while OTOH, if I figured that I have to do something to achieve the goal, I can put that into the headline. So, the auto-headline “Untitled” just disturbs.

    At least, if the databse doesn’t support any unnamed postings – then what about at least a   or a ”...” as an auto-headline?



    Should do this 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.
