Would you use this? A keyboard-friendly, social checklist app

I really like the idea of a keyboard friendly task app. Here's some feedback. Hope it helps:<p>* signup didn't work for me. When I submitted the form, it just took me to the signup form again. EDIT: I think it's because the username I wanted was already taken, but there was no error message telling me this.<p>* login link didn't take me anywhere<p>* It'd be nice if '?' brought up a list of keyboard shortcuts - similar to what google apps does<p>* It'd be nice if shortcuts could be customized<p>* A call to action in the anonymous list to signup to save the list makes sense<p>* jumping between the list, settings, and sharing tab with keyboard - maybe control-shift-1, 2, 3<p>* the UI is slick and simple. I love it.<p>* how do I delete a list?<p>* can there be labels / colors?<p>* will there be an API to access my lists?<p>* make links in tasks clickable

Very useful. Some things I noticed:<p>- Very fast site, props! Plus I really like the minimal design. Keep it that simple!<p>- Vim key bindings would be awesome (j/k for up/down).<p>- I'd expected than if I hit enter, but would type no text into it and "exit" with escape, the entry wouldn't get saved (as it stores no content). Instead there's just a blank line.<p>- When I am writing a new task and unintentionally hit enter, instead of the entry getting saved it moves to a new, blank task. You might wanna reconsider this behavior.<p>- Please think about international users, on my Swiss-German keyboard, the z and y keys (indent) are not next to each other (Y is left of my X on my layout). Consider adding an alternative like "&#62;" to indent "&#60;" to outdent or so.<p>- The other key bindings are very convenient and go easy and naturally.<p>- I deselected the "tweet this"/"like this" in the Settings, yet they still show up?<p>Overall: convinced. You just got a new user. But pleeeease, add the two vim keys and you would have one happier user. :-)

That's pretty nice. My feedback:<p>* I use Conkeror (firefox with emacs keybindings), so the Esc key doesn't work right for the app. Probably some way around that, either with a custom page mode, or whatever.<p>* I'd want the ability to export my checklists.<p>* The biggest feature I've not been able to find in a checklist app is a) logging of completion, with b) new every X (day, click, week) checklists from a template. The old one should be logged for reference, but considered closed when a new one is created. That way, your (say) morning list is fresh each day, regardless of the state of yesterday's, without any extra step on your part.<p>I'm not saying you should add these features, I don't know how well they would fit with what you're trying to do, but that's what I'm looking for.

I like it. I'm using Todoist currently for my simple todolist stuff but I really would prefer more keyboard support there.<p>I'm organizing my todo list like this<p>== today<p>- task 1<p>- task 2<p>- task 3<p>== tomorrow<p>- task 4<p>- task 5<p>== next week<p>- task 6<p>- task 7<p>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.<p>Thus you maybe want to add the possibility to add descriptions (which you can move like tasks).<p>The pricing of Todoist ( 29$/year) sounds reasonable to me.

I've been putting this together off and on in my spare time and would love any feedback. I know there are already a ton of checklist apps out there. This one does a couple things differently:<p>. It's very keyboard-friendly<p>. It's easy to copy checklists. For example, if you had a publicly readable list of all the stuff you check on your car before going on a long trip, other people could easily copy that list to their own "list of lists"<p>. Sharing is easy. You can share with individuals or make public lists<p>Anywho, I'm really the only person who's used this so far, so I'd love to get some feedback

It is great. Please not, that Z and X are not next to each other on a QWERTZ keyboard. I'd suggest to double the shortcut of Z with Z and Y.<p>Next thing: The modifier keys do not work on my Apple Mac Book.

It is keyboard friendly, but I still find google Tasks more intuitive regarding keyboard usage. It just worked, without any explanations, at least for me.<p>That being said, stripped down web version of org-mode would be a killer web app for me.

I use Orchestra and as far as I know they don't use keyboard shortcuts. Wish they did.<p>Nice work on this! I'd consider switching to it if it had a corresponding iOS app to sync with.

Were the hotkeys designed for both Mac and Windows systems? I'm having a bit of an issue with the hotkeys on a Mac.

This looks great - but we shouldn't forget your competitor workflowy.com - the grand daddy for this domain.

Nice and very useful application. Looking forward to an iOS client in the future.

Cool. An undo funtion would be nice. Like if you accidentally delete an item.
