I happen to know the team behind task.li - all extraordinarily competent. They completely rewrote it a couple of times until the backend as well as the frontend was not only smart, but also fast and highly reliable for different inputs and user agents.

Kudos for the competition, too(;

We're familiar with task.li :) I think the two products share some similarities but are starkly different in their execution. Planleaf has made an entire task management ecosystem _completely_ inside of email. This is where we shine, we leverage your email client to facilitate our app.

But yes, competition is always fantastic.

So you 'check' your tasks inside the mail app?

Does that mean:

* You need a GUI mail client?

* You cannot share the task list with other people? If you can, how do you handle propagating the state of a task (done/undone) to multiple people?

Oh, that's a good point. I suspect that it won't work with Pine/Mutt or commandline email handling (vim+mail?). What about clients that don't support (or have disabled) html email?

EDIT: Added "Mutt" and non-html email question.

From their sample email: "This is the plain text version of the email. Please enable HTML to be able to interact with the list"
