Would you use this? A keyboard-friendly, social checklist app

* signup didn't work for me. When I submitted the form, it just took me to the signup form again. EDIT: I think it's because the username I wanted was already taken, but there was no error message telling me this.
* login link didn't take me anywhere
* It'd be nice if '?' brought up a list of keyboard shortcuts - similar to what google apps does
* It'd be nice if shortcuts could be customized
* A call to action in the anonymous list to signup to save the list makes sense
* jumping between the list, settings, and sharing tab with keyboard - maybe control-shift-1, 2, 3
* the UI is slick and simple. I love it.
* how do I delete a list?
* can there be labels / colors?
* will there be an API to access my lists?
* make links in tasks clickable
* To delete a list, click on the trash button in the upper right.
* Right now you can hit left/right to jump between the tabs, but that's not ideal as the hotkeys don't work when a form field has focus
* I'll probably add labels or colors pretty soon. Personally, I don't use them but I know that a lot of people go crazy with that stuff. Just need to figure out how to do the UI
* Eventually there will be an API.
- Very fast site, props! Plus I really like the minimal design. Keep it that simple!
- Vim key bindings would be awesome (j/k for up/down).
- I'd expected than if I hit enter, but would type no text into it and "exit" with escape, the entry wouldn't get saved (as it stores no content). Instead there's just a blank line.
- When I am writing a new task and unintentionally hit enter, instead of the entry getting saved it moves to a new, blank task. You might wanna reconsider this behavior.
- Please think about international users, on my Swiss-German keyboard, the z and y keys (indent) are not next to each other (Y is left of my X on my layout). Consider adding an alternative like ">" to indent "<" to outdent or so.
- The other key bindings are very convenient and go easy and naturally.
- I deselected the "tweet this"/"like this" in the Settings, yet they still show up?
Overall: convinced. You just got a new user. But pleeeease, add the two vim keys and you would have one happier user. :-)
A couple things: when you exit from a blank line, the blank line is saved because some people might prefer to keep a blank line. I can see that it's surprising, but hopefully it's easy to get used to.
When you unintentionally hit enter, does your entry get saved in addition to moving to a new, blank task? The reason why enter moves to a new task is that it allows you to quickly enter one item after another
I'll look into the tweet this / like this issue.
Thanks again!
* I use Conkeror (firefox with emacs keybindings), so the Esc key doesn't work right for the app. Probably some way around that, either with a custom page mode, or whatever.
* I'd want the ability to export my checklists.
* The biggest feature I've not been able to find in a checklist app is a) logging of completion, with b) new every X (day, click, week) checklists from a template. The old one should be logged for reference, but considered closed when a new one is created. That way, your (say) morning list is fresh each day, regardless of the state of yesterday's, without any extra step on your part.
I'm not saying you should add these features, I don't know how well they would fit with what you're trying to do, but that's what I'm looking for.
I'm organizing my todo list like this
== today
- task 1
- task 2
- task 3
== tomorrow
- task 4
- task 5
== next week
- task 6
- task 7
etc because some blog article I read about Tadalist suggested this, and it works fine for me. If you want to move e.g. task 2 + 3 into tomorrow, you simply move tomorrow after task 1. I don't like to set up dedicated due dates because most often you won't be able to comply with them anyway...moving stuff into tomorrow / next week etc. is more simple.
Thus you maybe want to add the possibility to add descriptions (which you can move like tasks).
The pricing of Todoist ( 29$/year) sounds reasonable to me.
As for pricing, I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. For now I'm considering just putting up a couple ads, though honestly I hate ads. The other option I'm considering is some kind of freemium model. If I go the freemium route, I'll probably give stripe a try.
Stripe is fantastic payment gateway to integrate with. I despise paypal, but it wouldn't hurt to throw a paypal donate button up in the meantime either.
. It's very keyboard-friendly
. It's easy to copy checklists. For example, if you had a publicly readable list of all the stuff you check on your car before going on a long trip, other people could easily copy that list to their own "list of lists"
. Sharing is easy. You can share with individuals or make public lists
Anywho, I'm really the only person who's used this so far, so I'd love to get some feedback
Only thing I would like to add is the ability to have multy line tasks. Or more info for a task :)
It is very nice. I would use it.
Next thing: The modifier keys do not work on my Apple Mac Book.
That being said, stripped down web version of org-mode would be a killer web app for me.
Nice work on this! I'd consider switching to it if it had a corresponding iOS app to sync with.
Also, I would love vim keybindings.
