In the post you're replying to I said: "I also live with a software developer who helped bail me out from time to time", and I linked to the html5helicopter.com page which links to…

I've had some thought on this. The issue that I see with auto-focusing is people who use backspace to go back in the browser. If I steal focus then they're just stuck there, mashin…

I had it like that for a while, but ran into problems once I introduced the double-click-to-edit functionality. Thanks for the suggestion though; I'm still working on improving the…

Not quite zero. This past semester I took a course in MATLAB which was fairly unrelated, but definitely helped me get comfortable with programming a real project (we did bridge des…

Thank you! I used PHP and MySQL for the backend and jQuery for the front. :)

I'm currently trying to keep the app simple and clutter-free, so it's been a challenge not to pack it full of every feature that comes to mind. Sublists would definitely make it on…

Thanks so much for your kind words :)

Thanks for taking the time to check out the app and give feedback! Tasks should have persisted across sessions, but when I changed from the "beta" to "live" URL I forgot to update …
