Teux Deux: slickly designed little to-do app

Best product demonstration video ever. The inclusion of the some day list is really what draws me in.<p>I will say, however, that any service taking potentially sensitive personal data (and though it may seem strange, to-do list items are potentially sensitive; imagine someone keeping track of their to-do items on a project for which they have signed an NDA) should have a privacy policy and terms of service page. I know legalese is bad, but I didn't sign up today precisely because there is no privacy policy or terms of service.

Confidence is reduced when the blurbs on the first page are coded with the imaginary HTML entity "&#38;apos;" which does not render as an apostrophe in all browsers. (The fix is just to use a literal apostrophe character there, or if that's hard use "&#38;#39;".)<p>"TeuxDeux is the to-do app I&#38;apos;ve been looking for my whole life, and I&#38;apos;ve been looking!"<p>"TeuxDeux is like google cal&#38;apos;s &#38; google task&#38;apos;s better-looking and far more fun sister."

Slick little app. Horribly trite name.

Looks good. I wanted to try it but I couldn't complete the sign-up process.<p>First I couldn't see the sign-up form because the vimeo video overlaps it. Then the tool I use to generate password (supergenpass) wasn't visible (presumably because of the lightbox effect). Finally, once I signed up I was redirected to a page not found error. Guessing here it doesn't like email addresses as username...

It seems to work well, but I wish there was a '&#60;&#60;'/'&#62;&#62;' button for moving back/ahead a week. Clicking through 7 times is aggravating when you just want to see or plan your next week.

I find that it's cleverly designed, but it definitely lacks some (subtle) polish. Great for a launch, though.<p>update:<p>For example, on my tiny 9-inch netbook screen, I cannot see the "Some Day" section, which makes it impossible for me to drag items down there. Each column having a fixed/minimum height is a waste of screen space: they should be as tall as the largest column instead.<p>I personally don't have to add many to-do's in one day, but my solution benefits both casual and power users.

I test many (all?) of the ToDo apps that cross my path, but I always end up thinking: "Isn't this what my brain is for?"<p>That being said, this one looks shiny!

I've never understood the fact that there are just <i>so many</i> of these things. Doesn't todo.txt get you 90% of the way there?

Pronunciation's a bit off, but that doesn't matter. What bugs me is that with a slow network connection, there's no confirmation that hitting enter actually did anything.<p>I hit enter three times and clicked on a bunch of stuff before it showed me that it had accepted my first item, and then it accepted it twice more.<p>Needs more async thinking, but the design is quite friendly.

That's not how you pronounce "deux."<p><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Fr-deux-fr.ogg" rel="nofollow">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Fr-deux-f...</a>

Great design. Only thing that bothers me a little is the fact that the cursor turns into a typing cursor during a drag, instead of a hand (at least in chrome).

Designer truly matters. The UI is simply beautiful. One of the best products I have seen in 2009. This is going to my top 11 list.

Wish there was a way to edit an existing todo, fixing a typo for instance, but think that would take away from the simple UI

Thanks, I loved it! Now this is my third fixed tab, right next to Gmail's and Joe's Goals tabs.

Beautiful, already taking them up on the request for iPhone developer...
