stop solving the same problems Eh... what? If we didn't stop solving the same problems we would still be using WordPerfect and Google wouldn't exist. And without seeing it how do you know what it is even doing?

I didn't say stop improving on solutions that miss the mark. I just think there is a lot of unexplored territory for software developers. People like to solve problems they have and understand. To do list apps are the classic example for developers. I'm just saying there's a lot of opportunity out there if you step outside your comfort zone. All I know about this app is that it's a web based todo app. I was clear on…

>> A better response would be to point out how it improves on what's already available.

For starters, the UI is something that I haven't really seen before and its pretty neat.

Second, I do like the concept of today/tomorrow - think that's a nice way to encourage planning and doing

(shameless plug) I wrote a simple to-do app (weekly planner) for my own use (now has a few thousand users): http://weekis.com

Yep, not a right gesture to do, considering your app is kind of rival to op's initiative.

Both are free apps and and its kind of cool to compare them. I think this is relevant.

Failure is the best way to learn! I know because I do so much of it! And bonus if it's someone else's failure.

Sorry I'm not sure what happened - it seems like screen died?

Launching a product that's running in a screen session. I don't think it's a good idea, but I can't help but feel impressed in some way I don't understand.

So, 502. Can you please (seriously) write a post about what your server setup is and what its like to be deal with the rush of traffic. I'll be doing it one day soon and all the info I can get would really help!

The issue was pretty mundane, the server script is very simple - so I assumed it wouldn't need to have a lot of monitoring overhead to deal with traffic spikes.

Even though it's a very simple script the volume of traffic used up all the memory on the machine leading to server death, then my restart script turned out to be wrong :(

The Page Flip is in Chrome and Safari, but when I started it was going to just be a perk for Safari as Chrome didn't support 3d perspectives. I noticed one day that the beta channel of Chrome had started to support 3d perspectives, but to my distress their support was buggy and left graphical artifacts. I submitted bug reports and luckily in the latest Chromes it works just as nicely as Safari. The big thing I got in…

Just curious, but why'd you decide to use nginx instead of a node-based web server (i.e. serving stuff up via Express)?

I only use nginx because it is a proven component and I don't think node can improve on that much there
