I'm always pretty skeptical of any new "organizational tool" but this really fits with my workflow. Currently porting over most of my todo lists/tasks.

Would be nice to get access to a full API. If I could automatically add github issues here, or feed things in from trello/email I would never have to use anything else.

This is a pretty well thought out note-taking/organisation app. Evernote and Keep weren't really cutting it for me, so I have been looking for one for a while. Even considered building one myself (which I still might eventually), so I have checked out quite a few. Congrats to the team who put this together. One slight grudge, which hopefully they would have considered fixing already -- the Android installer is quite big.

What kind of import and export capabilities does it have? It is important that I don't lose my data due to vendor lock-in.

We strongly believe that you should remain in control of your data. We currently support HTML, JSON and plain text exports with plans to support OPML. If there's another format you're interested in let us know.

We also support direct imports from Wunderlist, Google Tasks, Workflowy, Trello and Todoist. When you first run the app options to import your data will be there.

You can also access your data directly using the Google Realtime API. Your data is stored on your own Google Drive - you're not going to lose access to it.

Looks a bit like org-mode for the web, which is pretty cool. Any inspiration there? Slick intro video as well, congrats on the launch!

Yeah, we were inspired by text-based solutions because they're so much easier to work with than a big complicated UI. But they generally don't scale very well. So we're trying to make something that's as easy as text but also super powerful.

Glad you like it nnain! We also spent a lot of time looking at different organization options prior to starting Moo.do and weren't happy with what they provided (usually at a cost!). If there's a killer feature that would make Moo.do a better experience for you we'd love to hear about it.

The size of the android install is a little on the large size, but we're using https://crosswalk-project.org/ instead of the native webview to get better feature support and performance on older devices.

I've been looking for something more powerful than Workflowy that is also based on outlining, and this fits the bill. The biggest issue for me was that Workflowy didn't have the support for due-dates and filtering tasks that I prefer for my workflow. Very excited to get to know Moo.do.
