One thing that confused me was the "Team" link at the top. Having it placed between "Philosophy" and "Contact" made me expect that it was going to be a page about the people that made the site, not a signup page about a future featureset. Anyway, you might want to make the "team" thing stand out in a different way, if you're hoping to capture people interested in group features.
Great stuff, one suggestion: clicking the label for an item should check/uncheck it, like in a properly marked up form (using the "for" attribute of the label tag).
Great job. You've made a great app here :) Only one suggestion for usability -- autofocus the "Add a task" input on page load, so the user can begin typing without an extra click upon arrival (think Google.) I think this convention works well with any app which expects text input as its immediate feature
As a compromise I implemented arrow key functionality. The down arrow focuses the input field when you're on the Daily tab. The left and right keys also scroll between days/months. I realize that at this point there is absolutely no indication of those features on the site, so consider it an Easter Egg for now. :)
So, going from zero programming knowledge or experience to this in 3 weeks? If that is the case, it's pretty amazing. I would never have pegged this as a 'first app'. Great job.
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 design in the course). I also live with a software developer who helped bail me out from time to time. DailyDo.it was started on April 29th, and I worked long days since then to get it up to what you see now. During the weekend before that I m…

Not to take anything away from such a great accomplishment ... but i find it a little odd that you failed to mention your live-in boyfriend is a coding ninja. Either way ... hats off to you ... and keep it up. http://nathan.ca/2012/04/html5-helicopter/
