Show HN: TaskUp.com: Tasks by Email & Text Message, and more
Since our very early alpha release less than two months ago, we've been working non-stop on making TaskUp an awesome product. Today, a few thousand users later and many lessons learned (from a lot of Hacker News comments, we might add!), we are adding a few new features that our users told us they want: 1. Tasks by Email TaskUp now allows you to turn your emails into tasks for yourself and your co-workers & friends!
You can now add up to 5 additional email addresses through which you can receive tasks in your account. That's more than plenty for all your personal and work email accounts!
- To create a task for yourself: Reply or Forward the email to/cc/bcc 'track@taskup.com'
- To Create a task for someone else: Reply or Forward the email to the person e.g. name@domain.com and cc/bcc: track@taskup.com
Note: The subject of the email becomes the 'Task Name' and the email content appears in the 'Notes'
As we continue to develop our mobile apps, we wanted to give our users an alternate way to get their tasks in on the go.
Enter task by Text Message!
To get set up, sign in, click on the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of TaskUp, and enter your cell phone number in the "Incoming Tasks" tab.
Once set up, text (617) 300-0437 with your tasks and they will be automatically created in your inbox!
Also, we have a lot of enhancements, such as cross-browser instant sync, notifications when tasks are incoming, a calendar view, a kanban view, YouTube tutorial videos, and many more.
Also, we blog at http://blog.taskup.com
Stay tuned next week for a rewards system that will rock your GTD socks off!
We would love to get some feedback and comments on our beta release!
