Considering the furor over dcurtis's elitism and closedness, I figured it was a good time to finally get off my ass and open source the list app I've worked on over the last year and a half.<p>In retrospect, I should have titled this submission, "Codename: Open Hercvles"

Congratulations, you've created something far better than what Asana and their huge team took 3+ years to build.

<a href="http://checklisthub.com/" rel="nofollow">http://checklisthub.com/</a> was actually the reason my partner and I stopped working on a keyboard friendly todo list. I figured it was basically everything I wanted, and it was already built. Great work, and thanks for open sourcing it now.

Looks great! Very clean design, nice and simple. I just have a couple of minor nitpicks:<p>1. It's billed as keyboard friendly, but there's no obvious keyboard shortcut for opening the list of keyboard commands. I would make a ? shortcut for that, put a hint for it in the page text, and open it as a modal overlay that can be dismissed with Escape.<p>2. Indent/Outdent. Since there's no other command for [ and ], why require Ctrl? Additionally, you could use , and . (&#60; and &#62;) since they are closer to the home row.<p>Best of luck with your app, I look forward to seeing how it develops further.

Great one. Also, some critique.<p>Considering this is a keyboard app, you could try and support all of common keyboard commands. Like Home, End. Indentation could be done via tab and shift+tab.<p>It also would be great, if you could support multiple selections via shift+arrow up/down. Backspace is good, but del key should delete also.<p>Also, I am not sure about Esc key as an editing shortcut.

Very nice. Have you checked out The Hit List?<p>One of the main reasons I chose it was it keyboard friendly controls.<p>One suggestion - in edit mode, the a and d keys are much more intuitive for indenting a line. Also, shift + j/k is more intuitive for moving lines than ctrl + arrow keys.<p>I guess my vim-brain is showing through ;)

I've been looking for something like this, and I like it! I might end up putting it on my server to use privately.<p>Unfortunately, your GitHub link is wrong (404). (edit: fixed)

Awesome job. Thanks so much for making it open source. One small thing though: escape to edit doesn't work in Safari.

Good stuff, but how do I undo a "delete" ?

Thanks for the contribution. One suggestion: a link back from your Github page to the demo page...I wanted to send the Github link around.
