What HN said
What people liked
Beautiful, slick design and page-turn UI
From 4 comments
Wow... love the design & the UI realism. I would iterate on the font for the actual to-do though. It's very hard to read.
nc on HNWow. 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…

Today/tomorrow limit is a useful constraint
From 2 comments
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…
grantjgordon on HNSlick. Two suggestions: 1) On Android, remove the delete confirmation. Undo bar would be better than pressing that ugly OK button. 2) Keep it at Today/Tomorrow only. It's a great…

Server went down under traffic (502 errors)
From 2 comments
It seems like your server(s) have gone down: I'm getting an '502 Bad Gateway' from nginx. Would love to try it out!
smunz on HNThe issue was pretty mundane, the server script is very simple - so I assumed it wouldn't need to have a lot of monitoring overhead to deal with traffic spikes. Even though it's…

nc on HNNice design... 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.…

Support for more browsers such as Opera and IE
From 2 comments
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:…
Agustus on HNMm... 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…

Flip forward and back through pages
From 2 comments
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…

Sync with taskwarrior

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.…
