In chrome I get a redirect-loop warning... (being logged in in gmail at the same time)

Odd, I'm unable to reproduce. What version/OS? Just out of curiosity, what happens if you try it in incognito mode? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm getting this too. Chromimum 8.0. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10.

This is a great idea. A simple interface for my TODO's. However I do not think iframing Google Tasks is the best idea, why not just create something similar your own?

Since you are iframing it I get this bug: http://i.imgur.com/H7Ytb.png I want three list respectivly "Done", "Today" and "Someday". However as I change one, the others change too.

I'm running Chrome 11 dev

In order to get multiple lists working, you'll need to go down to the lower-right corner of each frame and select a different list to be shown in each frame. Otherwise you are just using the same list in different frames.

I'm totally with you that this UI/UX is not ideal. If Google exposed more of a Web API we could do more.

There are plenty of good web-based todo lists, what I wanted specifically was to beef up Google Tasks.

However, now that you mention it, there may not be a good multi-paned todo app out there. Someone should make it. Maybe me, maybe you! ;-)

Cool. No easy access to an Ubuntu box right now and it's late...I will check in to this when I get a chance. In the meantime, I would be interested to hear:

- Is anyone on Chrome/Ubuntu not having this problem? - For those who are having this problem, any more information would be greatly appreciated. - In my own testing, Chrome on OSX and Windows works fine. Has anyone had this problem on either OSX or Windows running Chrome, or in another browser on any platform really?

Thanks!

Ubuntu 10.10, Chromium 9.beta. When I log out from gmail and login through your front end I get the same problem. Incognito mode gives me a "you don't have cookies enabled" message from google.

Working great here - Chromium 11, Ubuntu Lucid (10.04?)

I might actually start using this along with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done, rather than paper lists. We'll see...!

Hi cmikec, is you the author of the site?

Google does not seem to provide any API for Gtask(1), which system did you use? scraping? By time seeking a way to integrate Gtask in my app.

Hi, yes, I'm the author. See this reply of mine to another comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2278963

To answer your question directly, I am not using an API and I am not scraping anything, I'm just framing Google's pages in a way that I found useful and productive.
