App looks slick. How about multistep tasks? That's the one thing that keeps me with Toodledo.com
Coming in the next few weeks, we're testing out that functionality as we speak :)

#42Nice app - good luck brother
Thanks! :) What did you like and didn't like about it?

#43I'm quite surprised more task list apps are coming out, I would have thought the market was over-saturated by them. I'm also surprised HN doesn't advocate for a very good tast/list manager: www.checkvist.com, which can be entirely controlled via the command line and offers a ton of features (note: I am only a user, not an employee).
Task List apps occupy this interesting position in which, in the long run, it's easier for developers to build the thing (tweaking one or two costs/benefits) than for users to switch to using it.
Other things in this category include: web browsers, acne creams, computer mouses.

#441) Looks very similar to http://www.orchestra.com/, which is a good thing IMHO. 2) What's missing from Orchestra is some analysis. Like, you have completed X number of tasks so far, basically to keep me motivated 3) Your app wouldn't let me delete any tasks. Chrome / Mac OS X Lion.

#45My "killer features" for a task list are daily recurring tasks so before I go to bed I can scan the recurring tasks and say "oh yeah, forgot to water the plants!" And also calendar integration. To me an appointment really is just a task with a very firm deadline. I'd like to see appointments mixed in with my task list. But I'd want to be able to keep using my main calendar app (Google Calendar in my case)
We have a calendar tab and full calendar integration coming out in a few weeks, so recurring tasks and calendars are out #1 priority, feature-wise. We'd love your feedback when it's live!
sweet! If you guys get those in consider me a customer. Looking forward to the updates.

1) Thanks, they have a pretty nice app as well!
2) Latest Chrome? Did you try it after a refresh? You can also delete multiple tasks by pressing Ctrl and selecting the tasks, then pressing the red trash button on hover on one of the tasks.

#47I prefer http://trello.com , it's free for ever and it's works in Android / iPhone.
Fair enough, trello is pretty great! TaskUp is more of a GTD tool and each task is a single item vs the multiple boards/cards view. We don't currently have the multiple projects functionality live but when it's out, I hope you give it a try and give up some feedback!
Different approach, you have to use the one that you're most comfortable with.

#48I feel like every single task app is marketed as the last one i'll ever need, yet they all differ on one or two very small features. I wonder how many man hours have been wasted building task management applications. I'm not trying to discount this app, I am simply hoping that at some point there will be a de-facto winner that will actually help me become more efficient. The start-up cost for most of these hasn't pro…
We're aiming to make TaskUp.com the oen you'd use everyday, I hope you'll give it a try. What are the killer features that you see from Notational Velocity and Simplenote Sync? We're working on providing multiple cloud storage backends in the future, it's a version 3/4 feature right now (2-3 months away). As far as time spent to get this up and running, we've been working on this project for 2 months now, got some fu…
I took a look at it and nope... I'm still going to have to build my own task list.
Not to take any wind out of your sails, but Task Lists are one of those seemingly low hanging fruit where there's a lot of space for opinion as to what the UI should be like.

checkvlist is excellent and we're going to release a project management level feature that lets you group tasks and set up inheritance as well, coming out in the next few weeks!
Care to share the name so I can keep an eye on it?

#50This 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 fumb…
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, analytic…
It's not that my wording is better- I don't mean to be changing yours, just adding. The thought pattern is to tell the user why each feature is important to them. Don't make them guess. Don't allow them to guess. Manage, as much as you can, their mental state while on your page.
