I must be dense or something but never in my life have I ever found todo apps useful. Note taking apps, yes. The odd shopping list on the back of an envelope, sure. The odd text document now and then while I work, sometimes. But taking time out to make a list of things to check off and then going back and checking them off. Sorry I have better things to do, and no I have not made a list.

#42A simple text file has always been far faster and more useful to me than any of these to-do apps. Lately it's migrated to a text file on dropbox, or using google docs or box notes for cloud sync. There's also TaskPaper which is nice but only on Mac https://www.taskpaper.com/
I've been using Google Keep - it has a list of checkboxes for this, they hide when checked. The upside is that you can drag-drop reorder then and you can add to the list from voice on the homescreen ("okay Google add book my vacation time to the Todo list"). But it fails one power of plain text rule - I can't copy and paste into and out of it. Sucks when I want to send snippets of my shopping list to my wife over sms…
I do use Keep for notes. For todo's though, the web UI is nice but too slow and annoying to use. Nothing is faster than a text file.

#43Don't Microsoft own Wunderlist? My theory is that if you observe a large cluster of developers for long enough, todo apps simply manifest into being. None as good as Lanes though, https://lanes.io . Obviously ;)
Looks good, but I'm experiencing a UI bug. I'll just post a screenshot instead of describing it, it's got to do with some font color being the same as the background color.
I'm using Firefox in Win10 at work.

#44I used to love to-do apps and use them often, but after becoming a Google Inbox user I'll have a hard time switching. Having all action items in one place that are snoozeable to a specific time is huge for me.

On first load the font theme should be dark by default. I'll add some validation and an alert if it's set to white and no background is detected.
Thanks.

Very nice. The design makes me really want to use it. Does it sync calendar and tasks with Exchange/Office365?

Solid point! I've made the landing page responsive so you can try from mobile now. However, still in the process of moving to mobile so features won't match web version just yet. Usability will be improved in a week or two.

#49Howdy, Is the source available somewhere we can inspect it?
Sorry if I was somehow disrespectful - I'm unsure how my question warranted a downvote, I'm quite genuinely interested why - so happy for critical feedback.

Hey, maybe we can fix this. What in the basic version would you like to see?
The main one is the recurring tasks. having this would probably be enough for me to start using it full time. Only allowing one friend seems a bit odd. A social feature without a proper social group. Although I can't see myself using this anyway so I'm not too worried. I really like the idea of detailed insights and the goals, but these both make sense as paid features. They're the things that would make me pay if th…
Click-away to close is added, will be live soon.
The cap on social features is a temp step while I design the process flow, so won't be around for long.
Let me have a think about recurring tasks. Catch me via Twitter or in-app chat if you don't see any move on this in the next week. Cheers.
