I'm always pretty skeptical of any new "organizational tool" but this really fits with my workflow. Currently porting over most of my todo lists/tasks. Would be nice to get access to a full API. If I could automatically add github issues here, or feed things in from trello/email I would never have to use anything else.

We’re planning to integrate many more services into Moo.do. Having first and third party plugins for adding content and viewing data in different ways is a big part of our goal. We’re looking into the best way to achieve that and what a full API would look like.

I currently use Keep, but it's getting messy. Hopefully this will help! I really like how your logo goes from the top of the page, centered, to the bar at the top. I don't know too much about web design (I'm still learning), but how did you accomplish this?

We certainly hope it does! If you have any questions or issues porting your data over let us know.

The header is set as position: fixed in css so it will stick to the top of the page. We hook into the document.onscroll event and set a css transform on the logo when the page is scrolled down. The css transition gives it a smooth animation. We also transition the opacity on the “Organize your way” text to hide it as it moves to the top of the page.

does this work with the Pomodoro technique?

Pomodoro is a method to help you focus on your work in timed bursts and not make you feel guilty for taking breaks - http://pomodorotechnique.com/get-started/.

Perhaps you're thinking of GTD (Getting Things Done), a highly structured productivity/organization system that can be carried out with anything from paper folders to powerful apps? If so, Moo.do would work well since it supports using @tags for contexts, among other parts of GTD.

This is a pretty well thought out note-taking/organisation app. Evernote and Keep weren't really cutting it for me, so I have been looking for one for a while. Even considered building one myself (which I still might eventually), so I have checked out quite a few. Congrats to the team who put this together. One slight grudge, which hopefully they would have considered fixing already -- the Android installer is quite…

Glad you like it nnain! We also spent a lot of time looking at different organization options prior to starting Moo.do and weren't happy with what they provided (usually at a cost!). If there's a killer feature that would make Moo.do a better experience for you we'd love to hear about it. The size of the android install is a little on the large size, but we're using https://crosswalk-project.org/ instead of the nativ…

How much time did it take you (and team) to build moo.do? Also, what's in the feature pipeline?

Hey this is awesome! I love it. I have one serious bug tho. I'm a german user with a german keyboard and I'm not able to add a ":" (for example to add a time). I have to copy and paste it manually. When I try to enter a ":", a ">" appears instead. I am using Chromium 37 under Arch Linux (everything german).

I know this is a pretty open/flexble tool — but from looking at the examples and trying out the web/app I have a few questions:

- What is the intended delineation between a document and a top-level header?

- How are notifications in the app (ios) incorporated. Do they notify based on "@date time" of item?

- How might this be used as a notepad. It seems like a big aspect of it is the crossing-off of items?

- Does @tomorrow turn into @today in the document when a day has passed. Same w/ @today to @yesterday etc?

Otherwise, this app has really captured my interest.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the interface though — coming from a simple list / to-do app where there aren't hierarchal levels displayed inline... I think the search/filter will definitely help with this but I may have to get used to it.

Edit: one more thought — i would like to be able to use the +person tagging but do not want to use Google Contacts (or device contacts for that matter, which isnt possible). I know I can use #name but would prefer the look of the +person as designed. (along the same lines, I wouldn't minde decoupling the app from Google at some point...)
