If you don't think this is a useful or good app, you don't even have to look at it. Just pass.
At least when someone launches a product, if you don't have anything encouraging or constructive to say, it's best not to say anything.
It seems HN is suffering more and more from the "Why wasn't I consulted?" angst - http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.html
The design of this app looks awesome, but I don't think we need more todo apps in the App Store. I have a huge list of app ideas with not enough time to implement all of them. Every few weeks I see one of my ideas, done by someone else, hit the top 25 of the App Store. If you're a talented developer there's much more creative things you could be buliding.
Sweet, 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…
First, saying it's completely useless is complete hyperbole. You can enter to do items through an application or web interface. That is a use. It may not be a novel use or a use that interests you in any way, but it's still a use. It's a disappointing fact, but the truth is that command line integration, scripting or a public API are not particularly mainstream features in an app. Next, it would seem pretty fanatical…

He (PG) was talking about a new protocol that allow people to share tasks and control how many tasks they can have. Not a simple TODO list though. I don't think this is suppose to be an email killer. If they are doing this because of what PG said then I am afraid they might misunderstood him.
Apparently the author turned down a job offer to work on this full time: http://samsoff.es/posts/staying-strong I applaud the effort and entrepreneurial spirit and even the quality of the UI work. I'd question the judgement when there are so many to-do apps out there already.

I think the point he was trying to make is that the space is freaking crowded. Reminders with Friends is probably not helping.
Yea, I agree that it is crowded. It is less of a simple to-do app and more focused on setting up location triggered reminders for your friends and family. But it is a hard space because it is such a polluted space. we are thinking of possibly pivoting it and using what we learned building it into a new service that focuses on needs of businesses in regards to setting of geofences.
> pushes to all of your devices iDevices you mean.
If any app category needed a parody video and site, it's to-do lists and productivity. Time to charge the camera batteries.
I'll add it to Yellow Yellow's TODO list for when they come out of double stealth: http://doublestealth.blogspot.com
Fun read.
Sam, congratulations on your launch.
