Re: Show HN: TaskUp.com - the only task list you'll ever need
#32I love the pricing scheme. Most web based services start at several dollars a month (probably because of card processing fees) or an expensive yearly signup. For a simple task app like this, I would not pay several dollars a month and a yearly lump sum would be 'risky'. I know the service provider is probably paying a huge % of card processing fees though. I wonder if there is a service that would handle 'subscriptio…
We're not fans of paying several dollars per month for a task management service either.
Do 14-30 day free to paying trials work? That's out #1 plan for now.
We find the $9.99/year price point attractive, with $0.99/month it's not worth it and we'd rather give the service away for free. There are micro-payment processors out there but we're looking at overall cost and strategy when looking at pricing plans/feature set we'd like to make available at each price level, and really love the simplicity of Stripe for payments.

#33This looks really nice. I have used several todo lists, and found them all too complex. I made a little bash script called badoop at https://github.com/jergason/badoop if you prefer command-line apps or TaskUp isn't bare-bones enough.
If you use zsh, 'ztodo' is distributed with at least 4.3.11 or later. It's not a unified task list, but a per-directory task list.

#34My "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!

#35I like the name. Can I add a few items to your taskup? [ ] The Business Plan mentions a Grow Plan, but it's not on the pricing page. [ ] I think it's a bit unfair to call the Unlimited Plan "Popular" when it's not available yet.
Will get it fixed today, thanks :)

#36I 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 proved worth it.
Notational Velocity + Simplenote Sync + Dropbox as a redundant backup = my current winning combo for managing both thoughts and things I need to do.

#37Doesn't handle my use case - lists within lists. Workflowy does this excellently, and I'm not switching to anything that doesn't do it at least that well. (If you don't care about hierarchical lists then this site looks pretty though.)
I have been using Workflowy for many month now. Its not perfect. But it has served me well, longer than any other list application. The list app I like best is org-mode in Emacs. Sadly it is not in the cloud (and requires Emacs). TaskUp.com looks really polished. Good Job.
Thanks for the feedback! What feature(s) would get you to use it on a daily/weekly basis?

#38I prefer http://trello.com, it's free for ever and it's works in Android / iPhone.

Seriously. There's just an overload on task apps.

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 funding, and will be working to get out features that people actually want and use in the next few months, with several major features each month.
We will publish out development roadmap and give out users a chance to vote on the features they'd like to get developed, but you'll need an account for that :)
We're committed to making TaskUp the best damn task and project management app you've ever used because we've also used dozens of different systems over the years that either weren't flexible, simple, portable, extensible, or secure enough for our tastes. Your input in helping us craft this is very valuable to us!
