"What @samsoffes has built with @cheddar is amazing for a solo gig: website, iOS app, API, open source, blog, store. Many startups do less." - @bb
After checking everything out and struggling with finishing up a thousand little side projects myself, I really respect the thoroughness.
After a quick poke around, this looks like a great codebase to learn from -- I will certainly point aspiring iOS developers in its direction. All the basics (CoreData, custom table views) are there, as are nice uses of more modern features like blocks and APIs like in-app purchase.
Out of curiosity, what's the deal with the CDKHTTPClient? It looks like the implementation is stubbed out for this release -- aka there is a back-end, but none of the back-end code is made available (at least so far)? I only took a quick look, so I might have missed something obvious.
I'm surprised he included the app's resources (icon, etc.) under the BSD license -- rewriting the data store to use iCloud instead of his service (where Cheddar makes money, but also the source of many complaints in reviews) while keeping the UI would make a quick (though somewhat seedy) buck on the App Store.
It's not a big idea, because if you use iCloud, you can't have a webapp that use Cheddar, you can use only on iOS devices and Mac OS X, that would be a HUGE limit. I love the webapp, and I like the idea that multiplatforms clients can be made in fucture (windows, wp7, android, etc...)

It's a subclass of AFHTTPClient. See: https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/
For people learning iOS development, this is an awesome project to download and tinker with. Learning how to use Core Data managed objects? It's in here. Custom tableviews? Here, too. Custom fonts? Yup. Blocks? Yes. External RESTful APIs? That, too.
* The UI is all hand coded. Not to start a religious war but interface builder makes supporting different devices a lot easier.
* There is some hairy concurrency stuff going on like this https://github.com/nothingmagical/cheddar-ios/blob/master/Cl...

There are plenty of todo apps for syncing to every device you own. Atleast I would pay $1.99 for a gorgeous, dead-simple to use todo list just for my iOS devices (that works offline too).
If you are willing to pass up on the gorgeous you could give my app a try http://iTunes.com/apps/fastlists
Reusable tick able lists for things like shopping and packing. Functional rather than beautiful and import/export by email (no syncing yet). No ads yet (there will be a cheap no-ads in-app purchase when it does have ads).
