I like it. I'm using Todoist currently for my simple todolist stuff but I really would prefer more keyboard support there.

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.



Thanks for the feedback. I've been hesitant to add anything more than just list items because they would add complexity both for the user and in my code. However, adding descriptions or some other organizational element seems like it could be useful. If I remember correctly, 37s allows you to add organizational headers or breaks in backpack.

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.


I think ads would be reasonable. Especially if they integrate with the design and aren't all flashy and distracting. Another monetization strategy might be to make the web version free, but charge for mobile apps. There could be free ad-supported mobile versions as well.

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.
