Dear God no, yet another pimped-up todo list? What does it do that the others don’t?
When pg used a todo list as an example app to challenge email, this was to be expected. A million todo apps everywhere. People have so little imagination.

#42Only allows me the ability to create two lists for free? I'm not going to pay for a service that can be replaced by Post-Its and the bevy of other services/apps that do the same thing. Inability to sync lists with other users is another reason. Friendly UI but that's about it.
Additionally -
Product Marketing 101: If you're competing in a space with [hundreds of] others just like you, you need to have a shortlist of reasons why to choose yours over the others before just dropping people into it.
You should also account for the amount of people visiting your site when you launch so it isn't crawling when people try to sign up for it. I'm trying to traverse the site right now to find where I can see a compare-and-contrast of similar tools and it is useless.
Also just noticed the icon is basically Clear's -- another list/to-do app -- is that intentional? Surely we can find better ways of illustrating lists than using a checkmark so people don't get confused.

#43Looks simple and clean but I already use "remember the milk" to do the same thing. The landing page doesn't give enough convincing arguments to pull me away.
They're only undercutting RTM my $5/year, which doesn't seem likely to be incentive enough for many people.
Remember the Milk also has better device support.
I'm pretty unclear on the value prop.

Re: Cheddar
#45Looks really great. I love the idea behind instantly keeping things up to date on all devices. I can't wait to try the Mac App mentioned on the Support page - https://cheddarapp.com/support . I hope it fits in a small horizontal space, so that it can be always open (much like a Twitter client). Good looking stuff. Excited to see if I can incorporate it into my workflow.
+1 on the Mac App.
Looks like Cheddar is going to replace Wunderlist for me. 6Wunderkinder haven't updated their iPad app in ages, and the non-retina graphics makes their product unattractive.
Re: Cheddar
#46I must have tried over 10 different apps for keeping track of simple notes and tasks. I finally landed on Evernote (and emailing myself) mostly due to the sync issues across multiple devices. If this works similarly without all of the extra whistles and bells, I'd be pretty happy. The nice clean interface is encouraging.

#47+1 for delicious cheese.
Re: Cheddar
#48Startup request: Please, someone come up with a todo/productivity/project management system whose main feature is _motivation_ to use it, not just technical versions of paper todo lists. I don't know if the solution is necessarily technical. I've tried every major app and still rely on the visceral impact of post-it notes next to my computer to get things done. I'd love to switch to an app but nothing is actually making me use one.
Re: Cheddar
#49Sweet, it's completely useless! I can't dump a task from command line or vim. Can't script it to pull things to the calendar automatically. Can't send an email to put a task directly into it. Can't dump tasks to a text todo list to put at the top of the code or document im writing to remember what I need as I write.
Will not use. And, even if those features show up, won't consider due to lack basic thought in initial design.
I've said before and I'll say it again: todo's are a functionality that are only useful when broadly accessible from many different apps and contexts. Your app (for any your) is mostly useless to me.
Edit: I don't get all the hate this post is receiving. Is it because I didn't wrap it in sugar? Is it because I listed the things I would actually consider paying for? Or is it just because I'm disagreeing with some startup and that's against the local religion?
