Show HN: I made a Web-based Todo App - used: CSS3 3D transforms, Node.js, love

Awesome. One minor complaint: I added some tasks, thought, "man this is cool", and signed up--at which point you erased my tasks. Not a huge complaint, but they really should be transfered over to your newly-created account.

Very good "Your browser is not compliant page." The Opera browser is CSS3, 3D Transform, Node.js capable. If you are doing certification using a browser check, do the following: Tell the user their website is not optimized for their browser, suggest the browsers as you have it on your site, then provide the user with the option to continue ahead with their current browser.<p>Here is a link to the logo so you can add it: (<a href="http://media.opera.com/media/images/icon/Opera_512x512.png" rel="nofollow">http://media.opera.com/media/images/icon/Opera_512x512.png</a>)<p>Edited to be more constructive and helpful in addressing the issue.

It seems like your server(s) have gone down: I'm getting an '502 Bad Gateway' from nginx.<p>Would love to try it out!

My favorite part is the "I am a new user" button - very slick!

I'm a big fan of taskwarrior, a CLI todo list for linux. I find I use it more than web based ones as I'm always in the console so there's little mental mode switching to use it. Basically not having to go to a browser or touch the mouse makes all the difference.<p>I'd love it if someone made a todo web app that could sync with taskwarrior. You then get the online slick interface of the web app with the low friction accessibility of the console interface when in the zone at work.

Very svelte! Maybe I'm being an idiot - but how do you turn the pages? I can only see today and tomorrow.

Wow... love the design &#38; the UI realism. I would iterate on the font for the actual to-do though. It's very hard to read.
ConceitedCodealmost 14 years ago
Wow! Everything looks amazing. You really did a good job trying to make it look good. Unfortunately, it's not something I would really use.

This is cool. I'm one of the guys who makes WorkFlowy.com, so I always check out new to-do/list making apps. I'm almost always like, "This is super lame," but not this time. This app actually seems quite nice. I'd like to be able to flip forward/backward in the planner, as that aligns with the metaphor nicely.<p>Anyway, nice work.

Obviously you are shooting for a realistic UI. I don't think the current strikethrough image is very realistic since I do not draw the same line every time I cross an item out in real life. I suggest you make use of a sprite image to implement multiple lines.

Obligatory 'this is a first release' disclaimer :D

Can you do a full breakdown of how this was built? Love the page flipping transition!

Wow, slick and simple interface. As somebody who was always better at carrying a new paper list each day than dealing with things like RTM or Google Tasks, but also doesn't always have something to write down new things to do, I think this just might be the app I never knew I wanted. I'll be trying it out over the next few days.<p>One question -- why is the password input in plaintext on the Android app? I don't like the thought that somebody could get hold of my device and see my password just sitting there in plaintext if they just went to settings...

Wow. Just wow. When I clicked the link on HN I never expected something that good. I was especially amused at the login/signup trick. Frankly, the whole thing caught me off guard.<p>Hats-off to you sir.

There's a bug in Chrome 12.0.742.122 where when you logout an extra book shows up on the bottom right of the original book.<p>This looks great, I love the page turn animation.

Nice design...<p>The fonts are a bit rough, i think cannot read them well and I got 28 and 0 eye problems so people with more age and eye problems will have a hard time reading it. maybe making it a little bigger and getting some better fonts try www.typekit.com or something.<p>Anyway great design, the app in itself is not useful for me as ConceitedCode6 pointed I like portable todo lists, maybe an Iphone app ?<p>Congrats !

Very nice job. Only two problems jumped at me, and mostly because everything else is so smooth:<p>1) switching a task's date should make the other side slide to make room, rather than jump.<p>2) finishing / unfinishing a task doesn't always respond to clicks, especially after a minor drag. Not sure what's going on to cause this.<p>Beautiful and live demos are the <i>best</i> :) Fantastic work!

My plea to the HN community; stop solving the same problems. If you really want to make something that people want then find something that people don't already have. This may be outside you area of immediate experience.<p>(Note - this comment was made without seeing the app - getting 502.)

Super slick! The concept of just limiting people to today and tomorrow should keep us from descending into the swirling always-planning-but-never-doing-vortex-of-doom. Only complain: the handwritten font you chose, while cool, renders very jaggily in chrome on windows.
gulbrandralmost 14 years ago
Very nice design and implementation. I could not resist to see your JS code. In <a href="http://tomorrow.do/dit.js" rel="nofollow">http://tomorrow.do/dit.js</a> line 676, why the spinner image is in this file as a data URI?

Perhaps add a clear button for both days, pressing the (-) button isn't fast enough. Also, when adding a task while in edit mode the button doesn't show up until going out and into edit mode.

Hey, This is really cool. I am sure you are going to move some of the procrastination from the world, away. I am going to use this over any "To Do" app. Thanks for building this...
Cafesoloalmost 14 years ago
Love it. Great design.<p>Some thoughts:<p>- I tried to drag some tasks from "today" to "tomorrow" and couldn't. Ended up marking a task as done instead.<p>- The animation when you click the arrows is a little confusing and hard to follow.

Also, in chrome on windows 7 the text-shadow on the explanation paragraph renders as white because you forgot to add the blur pixel. This looks nice:<p>text-shadow: black -1px -1px 1px;

Looks great. teuxdeux.com is similar in pushing incomplete to-do's from the past into the future. This one is nice, really simple, and fun.

Gorgeous design! I don't know how practical it is.

Veeeeeeeeeeeery class! I was about to send you an email to help you build an android app for this but you already done this. Wow.
duckalmost 14 years ago
Very simple and great idea! I would use this if it would do landscape view on my Android tablet. Any plans on doing that?

I like the font-face feature of CSS3. I just whipped up a font based on my handwriting, and now it's on my blog.

So, 502. Can you please (seriously) write a post about what your server setup is and what its like to be deal with the rush of traffic. I'll be doing it one day soon and all the info I can get would really help!

Slick. Two suggestions:<p>1) On Android, remove the delete confirmation. Undo bar would be better than pressing that ugly OK button.<p>2) Keep it at Today/Tomorrow only. It's a great anti-feature.
mellifluousmindalmost 14 years ago
Mm... I love the look and design of your web app. Just wondering, were you the only person worked on that app? or did someone else provide the design (i.e. graphics, CSS styling)?<p>Personally, I applaud you for coming up such a great app. I can only wish I can achieve the level of work that you do, but I think I care too much about Internet Explorer users to come up with something that require Firefox/Chrome/Safari... it is definitely a fine balance or choice you make.
