It's not feature complete yet but for our first beta we've got a pretty awesome interface fully functional with notifications etc. All task changes are versioned and later this week, the unlimited undo functionality will be live, as well as client side encryption on top of the SSL encryption. Mac and Windows apps coming next month!

This is a nice looking site. Two points: (1) The "Simple," "Flexible," and "Powerful" rectangles on the front page look like buttons; and (2) is the standard advice: connect your features to benefits on your "features" page. Some seem ok, but some aren't clear to me.

Tasks

Organize your tasks with simple, feature-rich todos. Tag the, set priorities, due dates and notes, all in one.

What benefit is this? "no more fumbling around with multiple pages when dealing with a single task. One task- one page." ... or some such prose.

Security

All of our ...

...so your data is safe even if you log in from a public venue.

Looks great! One suggestion would be to change your pricing from $0.99/month to $11.99/year. Assuming you're going to use Stripe, you will be charged $0.65 in credit card fees if you charge yearly instead of monthly, which will cost you $3.94 per year. Since the service is so cheap, I doubt you'll see much price elasticity between the two price schemes. Even if you do see lower sales, you'll likely still end up making more profit because of the reduced CC fees.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll definitely work on the wording. Yours definitely sounds better :)

We're trying to build an experience where users are confident that the service is secure (both SSL and client-side, for the truly paranoid), easy to use, and flexible enough to work the way you want it, not changing your process to fix in the system's mold (i.e. tasks via email, notifications, data import/export, analytics, collaboration).

Also add a favicon. Your current one 404s. https://taskup.com/assets/img/ico/favicon.png

A favicon.ico file in the root is always a good idea

Looks like a pretty well-designed offering, and I appreciate the focus on security. However, to get me to switch from Things (or Remember the Milk, etc), it'll first need to match those offerings on all levels, and then offer a killer feature on top of that. (e.g. I'm in love with the Things iPhone app, so you'll have to match that level of design). Collaboration and analytics sound potentially very interesting though, so I'm curious to see where those go.

I sometimes question how much room there is for competition in the todo list space, but I guess competition is always a good thing. Good luck!
