What HN said
What people liked
Simple, clean UI
From 3 comments
I like it... I've been wanting a simple, no-bullshit task app that allowed subtasks. You may have just won me over. One thing, though... Make the drag/drop icon area larger...…
bherms on HNLike the UI, kind of like Workflowy plus a calendar. In the help it says "Dates and times must be seperated by a comma." - should be "separated"
epaga on HNThis is well done!

Subtasks and hierarchy liked
From 2 comments
Really like the hierarchy, my only problem is it would be another app on top of existing ones that already sync quite well and are fully mobile (i.e. g-tasks).

Schedule and charts idea appreciated
From 2 comments
I like the way your thinking with the schedule and the charts. I think there is definitely desire for someone to gamify tasks and build in a good daily schedule.
corkill on HNThis is really nice. It seems the schedule ought to update and/or be able to hide completed items.

Objections
Design is grey and cramped
From 3 comments
Very nice. Sleek and easy UI. I designed a to-do list a long time ago. 4 years, 3 developers, and $2,000 later the 2.0 version still hasn't launched. I learned a lot. My…
ChrisNorstrom on HNNot a huge fan of the design, but nicely done.
guynamedloren on HNYou should rethink putting the add and trash and move controls all in the same vicinity. The buttons are all but unusable on the iPad. In general, the design overall could use…

danso on HNCan you tell me what the "<-->" (the button left to the delete button) button is doing? I like it that you can do most of the things with the keyboard - although this is not…

mgkimsal on HNNice. If you put "Task 10:00 Monday" it schedules for "5 days ago"
Myrth on HNTyping "yes" for a task leaves a blank line.

Undo for deletion
From 3 comments
About deletion: How about clicking the trashcan deletes it, but leaves it in the list grayed out? The trashcan icon then turns into an undo icon, which puts it right back in the…
bajsejohannes on HNA deletion done in error is normally realised pretty instantly; leave an `Undo delete' at a single specific location for them to get it back.…

Default dates for tasks
From 1 comment
I really love it. It looks like I'll finally start using a Todo app! Just a small feature: Is it possible to add a default date for the tasks? I had to look at the date twice in…

Questions
What do the checkboxes and arrow buttons do
From 2 comments
Very neat. Lots of potential! If I can give some UI feedback (from my perspective, of course!): * The Plus buttons are a bit confusing. It says down the bottom to press "enter"…
