Why are so many people using Google tasks ? Give alternatives like Workflowy a chance? Evernote works much better than GTasks even if it's not designed for it.

#12Bummer. I've been enjoying my competition-free life for the last 18 month since I've launched my iPhone app GeeTasks, but this was not meant to last, it seems.
No chance you could integrate with this API?

#13This is the first thing from Google I/O that has me truly excited.

Oh I will! So will many others, and thus will end my unfair advantage - being brave enough and tenacious enough to uncover undocumented API by sniffing the wire. It is important to have unfair advantage in business, so much so that I wouldn't start a business without one such advantage.
To be fair (he-he) I now have a new unfair advantage - a significant number of happy active users. I hope they will help me to stand out.

Wow, you made GeeTasks? Thanks for the killer app man, better than all the rest in the AppStore by far imo. I love the offline feature and the quick and easy sync. My only gripe with it is the icon/logo of the app. A little garishly and too-brightly colored. Amazing app otherwise.
Yes I did. The sync took a lot of work, and I am glad that people appreciate it (many do). :) The icon needs to change, I agree. I am planning to run a 99-design contest and then have users (such as you) vote on the best option.
The poll will be announced within the app itself, so just keep installing the updates and you will not miss it.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for that app. It's been tremendously useful for me for a year or so now.
You're welcome!
I'm delighted to find (so far) two happy users on hacker news and it brightens up my day. It rains so heavily today in Seattle that I need all the brightening I can get. :)

Hey, let's not downvote tejaswiy, it's a fair question.
I can expertly tell you that people use Google Tasks because of very low friction to entry. If you are using Gmail, starting to use Google Tasks is a one-click process.
Friction is paramount to adoption of, well, pretty much anything!

Google tasks is integrated into Google apps gmail. That's why I use it. Marking an email as "todo" is great, and sufficient for my needs
