You should make something happen when the Konami code is entered on your website.
Yes, I completely agree! I had that planned, and just decided to launch this before completing that. It will happen soon.
But like you're probably aware, GAE has a learning curve in addition to python/django/whatever. The datastore, mainly. This is a shameless plug, but I'm the co-founder of Djangy.com and we're in private beta. We're doing Heroku except for python/django. we'll support other wsgi frameworks in the future, but for now we make deploying almost any django app instant and painless.
in private beta now, but email me and we can set something up if you're interested.
I envisaged multiplayer action, even just with a wife, for example, where each person would allocate 'points' to be earned and traded for chores. She might be more likely to avoid creating a floordrobe if she could trade the resulting points for dinner out, making me watch rom-coms with her, etc. It's a little juvenile, but I would get a lot of house cleaning done were there sexual favours up for grabs.
What do people think?
Also been thinking that there seem to be few/no decent to-do apps out there with 'dependency trees'. We've just built a house and have progressed to the landscaping - every thing seems to hinge on something else. As an example, we can't put in plants until the driveway is done and can't do that until the water meter has been relocated. Or can't clear out weeds until I've bought fuel for the lawnmower, etc.
Reminds me - one of the things on my list is to build (yet another) chore tracker with that gaming incentive everyone's done (earn points of some sort) but avoiding the fault those all have: too easy to cheat yourself.

Sounds good. Have you seen Epic Win or Chore Hero? Both are iPhone apps that seem to do most of what you say here (haven't used them myself).
I've seen a few of these sorts of sites around, but they seemed to lack incentive or real motivation. How many people have tried a bunch of To Do apps and never stuck with any of them? I just keep going back to scraps of paper.
Of course, to-do apps and choretrackers are like black holes for developers but I can't help but wonder if there's a tack yet to be tried with both.
I am not sure if it is due to being in chrome-dev, but it took me a second to understand that the actual content was down the page. After widening up the browser the main content div popped into the right place.
Great Job! I also wanted to let you know that your website, seems slightly broken in chrome: http://imgur.com/liF73.png I am not sure if it is due to being in chrome-dev, but it took me a second to understand that the actual content was down the page.
