To everybody freaking out: It's a todo list, that stores your info in your dropbox rather than the sites database[1]. Brilliant idea, terrible execution. If I was the person that developed this, I would have spent [1] https://github.com/gvnn/today-tomorrow

We added a little description to the homepage. We took the original idea of splash screens, introductions and whatever come to mind and reduced it to the bare bones. Clearly it was too much.

As good an idea as this is, how is this on the frontpage? I don't mean this is a nasty way, but with a single page which basically says, "can I access your data please?" and no explanation I can't understand who would upvote it?

Building a "nasty" application wasn't our objective. The application is really minimalistic and clearly we shrink it too much. We added a little description now and the application code is available here https://github.com/gvnn/today-tomorrow
