#2Wow, I can't tell you how much you need this. It's ridiculous how many emails I make a mental note for getting back to and then completely forgetting them. (Sorry if you were a victim of my short term email memory loss, just bother me again)

Re: Convert your emails to actions in one click
#4I'm totally confused about how this works. The blog post and the home page didn't clear it up for me. Integrates with Gmail? What does Broadcast mean in this context? What do you mean, in your blog post, when you say you can now "archive the task".
Confused. Am I the only one?

It's a "Getting Things Done" thing, I think.

The relevant idea is that you take the stuff coming into your inbox (which represents obligations that you need to take care of, in theory) and then immediately convert it into something like a to-do list.

Right.
But how, exactly, does it work? Can I use Thunderbird? Outlook Express? Gmail? Is mail, or anything else, stored on some other site? Does it work on all platforms? All browsers?

#8I'm unlikely to switch from Things to Taskforce, but I would pay for a Gmail->Things "Convert to Task" button.

#9I built a prototype of something that had the general idea of this for myself (I have no short term memory, I mark off emails to get back to), but wasn't so well integrated with gmail. I'm excited to play around with something that looks so awesome.

#10i'm glad you built this, however, i would appreciate it if your app integrated with a todolist of my choice (and then used an open api to swap data freely). it's bad for productivity to use email and todolist in the same place.
thanks.
