My experience: 1) submitted my signup details, the page never returned a response and just hung there, but I did receive an email and was able to login 2) There's no difference between "add item" and "insert after" on the last item - but there is no way to add an item to the start of the list. I have to insert after the first item then re-order 3) I could never use this on a daily basis but I could really use it for…

So that's how someone would use the API. Other than it's current functionality, what more would I need to add to the API for you to be able to use it in your natural workflow?

+1 on the functionality to insert items before. I'm surprised this isn't there yet... seems like a pretty crucial component. Regardless, great app!

Another Suggestion: I like the interface, but iCal sync and/or having it printable with checkboxes, etc. would be really helpful to get it OFF the computer (or cell phone interface, jQuery mobile, etc). I like how you currently implement the add to day interface, keep up the good work!

Well, as I mentioned I would prefer it to be inter-day rather than intra-day - not sure how difficult it is for you to make that an option.

The API - I guess I need to be able to do this:

$estimated_days - numDaysScheduled($item_name) = $deficit;

where numDayScheduled is an API call. Then I would like a way to take a bunch of sprints I've added in my task system, and dump them into the calendar so that no task was overlapping for any one assignee - then I could go and play with the schedule.

This whole thing is straying pretty far away from your initial concept, though, maybe if you want to discuss it further send me an email.

Thanks! I was wondering how to spread the word about this. I think Lifehacker would be interested too. I'll be sure to contact Sebastian Marshall.

Sebastian is great. But I'd also just start contacting literally every news blog you can think of. TechCrunch, TheNextWeb, GigaOm, CenterNetworks, ReadWriteWeb, everyone. What can you lose ;) ? And just getting one of those will get you a lot of hits.

    What can you lose ;) ?
Mostly agree, wouldn't like to get all attention at once, thoug.

I small feedback, I am assuming you are using django-authentication which might have few problems, 1. User can register many accounts with same email(make it unique to avoid any problems) 2. While I am authenticated I can still visit register and login pages, may be you want to redirect user to avoid any confusion. Otherwise looks good to me, just added few slots on my account. cheers
