#102Awesome. One minor complaint: I added some tasks, thought, "man this is cool", and signed up--at which point you erased my tasks. Not a huge complaint, but they really should be transfered over to your newly-created account.
This could easily be done using local storage. I'm guessing the author has already run into this problem and is working on it though.

#103My favorite part is the "I am a new user" button - very slick!
It's very cool. It takes the "don't make me think" principle to the next level by forgoing "options" like "Register a new user" or "Create a new account" and instead makes the action a simple fact. I am a new user!

Local would defeat the purpose of a web app, as I'd have three different copies on my iPad, iPhone, and laptop.
He's already storing login info, so associating a few hundred bytes of text with that shouldn't be too difficult.

I suggested local storage only for the case where a new user (not logged in) has added some tasks and then decides to sign up. The tasks in local storage would then be added to the user once it is created. The local storage acts as a temporary storage location while the user is created. Having this work across platforms is not necessary.

#106I'm a big fan of taskwarrior, a CLI todo list for linux. I find I use it more than web based ones as I'm always in the console so there's little mental mode switching to use it. Basically not having to go to a browser or touch the mouse makes all the difference. I'd love it if someone made a todo web app that could sync with taskwarrior. You then get the online slick interface of the web app with the low friction acc…
Must check it out. First thing to try would be to link its configuration folder from my Dropbox folder to get cross-PC syncing.
Yeah - this works well and there are no catches. The data is in a few human readable files and there's a path in the config file (.taskrc) pointing to the directory where they live.
So you just move the data folder to your dropbox and edit your .rctask file accordingly. Of course you need to do this for every computer, so it makes sense for the few machines that you usually use but you don't really get the available-anywhereness of an online app.

#107(shameless plug) I wrote a simple to-do app (weekly planner) for my own use (now has a few thousand users): http://weekis.com
Wow, promoting your own similar app in someone else's Show HN is pretty stale.
One to-do app doesn't fit all. Everyone has their own working style and schedule flexibility, so it makes sense to try out as many options. You can read more about the intention behind my to-do app at http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=1466775

#108So, 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 :(
Check out cluster for node.js. It will automatically create worker processes and restart them as needed. The use upstart, monit, etc to keep the master node process running.
