Task.li turns emails into shared task lists for you
task.li
task.li
[update] Just arrived. Appears to be running a little slow is all.
Yeah, we see some mails running a bit slow at the moment. That should improve soon. We are still fine tuning our architecture.
The whole email thing reminds me of good old "I Want Sandy" http://boingboing.net/2007/11/14/i-want-sandy-perfect.html
But I thing it goes in a different direction: Sandy tried to be your personal assistant if I get it right, we rather try to help you and your collaborators to keep the oversight of tasks when email is the lowest common denominator.
I like this idea and I may even consider doing something like someday for my own private projects.
Why Bcc rather than Cc? What do the collaborators see? How secure is this?
> Have you considered another email address rather than mail@task.li perhaps task@task.li so it's really easy to autofill
That's actually a great idea. I've just added task@task.li next to mail@task.li, so both work now
> Why Bcc rather than Cc?
Both work, you can even use To if you want to send a task list to yourself
> What do the collaborators see
The collaborators do get your original email, and then the follow up email that you get as well.
> How secure is this?
As secure as email.
you're off to a great start. keep up the good work!
> Can you please enable a couple of sub-task level to make it really useful, similar to Google Task?
We do not plan to add sub tasks at the moment. In general, we do not try to outfeature other task apps out there. We try to be better than email at first, so we have to keep it as simple and natural as possible.
> where does collaborators edit the list?
Everyone who knows the secret URL of a task list can edit it
