Really awesome!<p>My account managers just said "That's awesome! I'll use the s<i></i>* out of that!"<p>We're willing to be on the beta of the business version!<p>If multiple people send me tasks, does it condense my to-do lists into one to-do list?<p>bwalker at kouponmedia.com
Can task statuses be updated through e-mail? I don't see anything mentioned about it. I work on a team where it's typical to respond to the email when something is done instead of going to the web. There are many different ways it can be noted so I'm interested in how that would be solved.<p>This could be the "bookkeeper" of the e-mail chain of tasks and statuses.
I found working on the todo list myself very easy, however I wanted to involve another person in the 'send me a tasklist' list and couldn't.<p>I tried:
- Add a new task with a @help at the end, CC them in along with the @planleaf.com email
- Add a new task with a @help@example.com at the end, CC @planleaf.com<p>Both didn't work and I received no email from Planleaf to say that it couldn't be parsed.<p>Creating a new list, CC tasks@planleaf.com and help@example.com did work.<p>Is adding a new assignee after the list has been created supported?<p>That's my criticism with managing tasks through email: input validation and feedback isn't seamless. In an app UI this is instant. From what I've seen Planleaf doesn't give me feedback if I type something incorrectly.<p>As email is much more freeform than a form that's a barrier to being simple and intuitive. Not an insurmountable one, but I think you need to do a little more hand holding.<p>That said, it's a great idea with promising execution and something I've mulled over building for our marketplace.
Used this for starting a quick ToDo list between friends over the weekend.<p>I really like how this allows me to quickly collaborate with people across different platforms (and devices) without needing them to go through a signup process.
I work in a huge enterprise that will not allow any company data on third party servers. I also am constantly in need of ways to collaborate with team members on multiple different projects. But, I can't use any hosted webapps and have no way to set up my own instance within our company.<p>If there was an on-premise whitelabel version of this, and my colleagues and I could create new shared task lists for each project without having to install anything, that would be amazing.<p>I recognize that this is just the MVP, but consider this a suggestion for later if you want to scale this up and add an Enterprise tier.
Very nice, I love the seamless use on mobile gmail.<p>However, does every interaction result in an immediate status update email, or are they 'chunked' together at all?
ramoq: I haven't tried it, but what if someone spoofs the from address? For example, if I used the old telnet to port 25 trick, could I create a task from billg@microsoft.com to larry@google.com? I have a feeling that since it may be re-routed through planleaf (is it?) that the destination server may not be able to validate the from address.
Looks a lot like <a href="http://task.li/" rel="nofollow">http://task.li/</a><p>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.<p>Kudos for the competition, too(;
I'm not entirely sure that the use of the '-' char is a good idea .. isn't this, or rather the '--' variation of it, something from SMTP, for use in separating mail content from the signature? I guess I should test it and find out .. hope it doesn't try to get my signature done! :)
A great idea. And very well executed! One thing though, for some reason emails from the same list does not group together in my Outlook 2013, like "RE:" and "FW:" mails do. (In other words: The "Show as Conversations"-option doesn't seem to work on emails from Planleaf)
The idea of it sounds horrible to me. I want less email, not more. Getting a daily digest and managing to-dos via email in general doesn't appeal to me.
