Wunderlist

It was such a well made, beautiful app. Microsoft bought it and shut it down. They asked existing users to export their data over to MS Todo. The export and MS account creation didn't work for me even after multiple tries. Plus, Microsoft ToDo just didn't have the same feature set and aesthetics as Wunderlist, so I just moved on to another app.

Some of the people who worked on Wunderlist are working on a new todo app, Superlist. https://superlistapp.com

What would keep me from recreating Wunderlist?

I can imagine the costs of supporting users and data sync over web, desktop apps, mobile apps on all platforms. Wunderlist had paid accounts which allowed more themes, but I remember most of the other features were on-par with free accounts.

Other list apps have become more of a todo list app. Wunderlist encouraged all kinds of lists. - movies to watch. - packing list for weekend trip. - shopping list. - yardsale items.
