What do you add over these? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=todo+list Personally, I only write notes to myself when I stop working so I can get back into the problem faster when I resume. I think writing and managing todo lists is a form of procrastination.

actually it is interesting you say that... writing up a todo list is a good way of procrastinating, but I find that if i have a todo list (assume it was "magically" generated), it helps me get through work a lot faster... atleast so that it helps me not loose the context when switching between tasks...

to this end ive found the MyLyn plugins for eclipse very useful.. creating the todo list is not too hard or tricky.. (though i found the creator page a bit clunky), and it even saves the state of the editor (ie open files, current line in the said open files etc) and loads the state as is each time you switch between items on the todo list (or tasks as mylyn calls it)..

I am sure there are much better tools out there like those widgets on google desktop and all but that is just another app you have to install..

Is there a way to log in/sign up besides OpenID? I don't have one, but wanted to use your site. I spent about half an hour trying to figure out which accounts of mine are OpenID enabled, and to get the url for my ID. I keep getting errors like "Open ID server can't be found", etc. so I imagine the urls that I'm putting in the sign up box are not the right ones. Then when I finally get signed up and logged in, later I try to log in with the same url and I get an error. Very frustrating.

Anyways, to summarize: Open ID seems to suck, and its very confusing (though to be completely honest I'm a little drunk which might have made this more difficult for me). I'd imagine most users would appreciate a simple, traditional login (I would have). Anyways, I really wanted to use your site, but after 30 min of failure I've given up. Good luck though.

Edit: For spelling/etc.

Any OpenID-enabled site should, until the transition to everyone having such an account is complete, have a "create an account" link that just redirects to http://myopenid.com or somesuch. Link, one-page form, check e-mail for verification link, get a URL (username) handed to you, put it in. Exactly the same workflow as a traditional registration.

Either support good old classic login/registration or give us a link to OpenID providers. I have NO idea what my OpenID url is, but I know I have one with Yahoo. Now I have to go look it up, so a link to it all would be nice. (Most sites offer you to click on the various OpenID vendors and it auto-fills in the "base" url for you)

Otherwise a nice site and I'm actually interested in trying your app, looks like a task management tool that might be done right
