Clean, simple, beautiful design
From 4 comments
Beautiful site, love the simplicity of it, nice on the eyes.
will_work4tears on HNI just closed HN to take a nap when I saw the last tab in the browser, played with the app, and came back to tell you good job. I like the mix of simplicity and beauty.
Kilimanjaro on HNI don't care how overdone to-do lists are, I never get sick of them. Putting this together in 3 weeks is impressive considering your background. The UI is really what makes it.…
billpatrianakos on HNVery nice, immediately understandable and therefore immediately useful. I would add a "today" button in your calendar popup, so a task can quickly be moved to today.

Impressive build speed for a first app
From 3 comments
So, going from zero programming knowledge or experience to this in 3 weeks? If that is the case, it's pretty amazing. I would never have pegged this as a 'first app'. Great job.
ZanderEarth32 on HNI think you can safely drop the 'aspiring' from your bio, you've made more progress in three weeks on this than many have made in much longer time-spans. Impressive, to put it…

Team link is unclear and hard to find
From 3 comments
One thing that confused me was the "Team" link at the top. Having it placed between "Philosophy" and "Contact" made me expect that it was going to be a page about the people that…
blatherard on HNAgreed - I clicked on it hoping to learn more about who made the app.
ryangilbert on HNYup.....same to me. All the way.

Background is messy and logo is distracting
From 3 comments
Few suggestions from Interface point of view. 1.Firstly i would suggest move the task-input field to top instead of bottom. It would be much more intuitive . 2.Take the logo out…
nitingarg on HNI agree with nitingarg. The input at the top is going to be easier for most users to understand. You seem to have a LOT of wasted space at the top, so use that. I think the…
pedalpete on HNI really like it and can see myself using it (future notes is a killer feature), but I'm not a fan of the background either. I'd use one of these: subtlepatterns.com Maybe fix…

pedalpete on HNGreat work. You may want to consider switching the "Add Task"-div with the "Daily/Monthly/Future"-div. So that the "Add-Task"-div is aligned in the lower left hand corner. That…

Tasks disappear when switching tabs
From 1 comment
Bug: If you add a task to "today" and then switch couple of times between monthly and future tabs, and come back to "today" tab - task is gone! If my task tracker drops my tasks…

Allow dragging tasks on today and reordering tasks
From 2 comments
Nice work. There are a few things I find strange, but other commenters have covered most of them. I love being able to drag around the notes on the "future" tab, it makes it easy…

Make label click toggle the checkbox
From 1 comment
Great stuff, one suggestion: clicking the label for an item should check/uncheck it, like in a properly marked up form (using the "for" attribute of the label tag).

Questions
How the PHP and MySQL were learned
From 2 comments
You did a fantastic job! Two questions: 1. What resources did you use to learn PHP/MySQL/jQuery in three weeks? 2. How are you handling passwords in the database?
jonmb on HNWow - really impressive. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the future development. How did you code the PHP and MySQL? Was this straight into notepad or did you use a…
