I'm curious how this is better than (or even significantly different to) Todoist [1], a well-established cross platform application which also supports natural language task creation [2] and a keyboard-driven workflow [3].

In my experience (as a long-time Vim and Vimium user), the keyboard shortcut support in Todoist was not good enough. It does cover most areas of the product, but I remember it not _feeling_ great. As if it was built first for mouse-use, with keyboard shortcuts added to it.

I tested Godspeed for 10-15 minutes, and I'm very impressed by what they built. There's a massive difference in how it feels to me.

Beyond that, I can't tell yet. Todoist certainly has an advantage in depth of the product, but for the keyboard-driven approach only, Godspeed is top notch.

I know people really seem to love natural language task creation, but I almost always found it lacking. The date picker Things has, and Godspeed promotes, works much better for me.

It is sometimes a pain. Thankfully, Todoist has both.

The date picker from Things and Godspeed are on a completely different level than the one from Todoist, though.
