You're storing passwords in plain-text. No-no. May I recommend one of the following: http://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic http://github.com/plataformatec/devise

I just added a few lines of code to migrate the database to encrypt passwords with a per user salt (not the best salt, but adds some flavor :-)

Thanks again for pointing that out.

yes a demo as others would be great ! Until that is done , the rest can use user : test@test.com pass : test To see what it does ! Also when i reorder the list ,it would be nice if the edit wouldnt pop up !

I added 3 links to screen shots (one from an Android phone) on the front page so people can also et a quick idea of what the app does.

re: when I reorder the list it would be nice if the edit wouldn't pop up:

The help text tells you how to work around this: just grab a focus or a todo item with the mouse just to the right of the text to drag it, otherwise you get both drag and drop and in place editing. I thought of requiring a ctrl key with a mouse click to get around this problem, but once I got used to mousing down just next to the text to drag, that seemed easy. (I need to make the help text more clear.)

Thanks for your comments.

Unfortunately in such a crowded market as 'to-do' lists or similar, your site doesn't tell me why it is so special, or what it does. You don't have a demo, and you make me sign-up to get an intro. I like the personal style of your writing on the right hand side of the page, and it makes me want to know more, but unfortunately, you haven't provided enough insight into what makes your project special to take me that ex…

Thanks for your comment. I added 3 links on the first page for screen shots (2 web browser, 1 on a Droid phone).
