Wow! Everything looks amazing. You really did a good job trying to make it look good. Unfortunately, it's not something I would really use.

Can you do a full breakdown of how this was built? Love the page flipping transition!

Nice design...

The fonts are a bit rough, i think cannot read them well and I got 28 and 0 eye problems so people with more age and eye problems will have a hard time reading it. maybe making it a little bigger and getting some better fonts try www.typekit.com or something.

Anyway great design, the app in itself is not useful for me as ConceitedCode6 pointed I like portable todo lists, maybe an Iphone app ?

Congrats !

Gorgeous design! I don't know how practical it is.

Wow, slick and simple interface. As somebody who was always better at carrying a new paper list each day than dealing with things like RTM or Google Tasks, but also doesn't always have something to write down new things to do, I think this just might be the app I never knew I wanted. I'll be trying it out over the next few days.

One question -- why is the password input in plaintext on the Android app? I don't like the thought that somebody could get hold of my device and see my password just sitting there in plaintext if they just went to settings...

Nice, very cutting-edge. Thought you would like to know, though, that it almost brought my browser down (locked up all tabs solid for 8 seconds straight). Using Chrome 14.0.825.0 canary.

Ya, awesome design.

I'd change the default font to something more readable, remove the coffee stain from the page, let people flip a few pages ahead (otherwise, why use the notebook paradigm?), and change the "i'm a new user" flow -- the form field animation is pretty and ingenious, but it's also confusing, so I don't think it's worth it.
