Show HN: I made a better interface for Google Tasks and I can't go back

It's a handful of iframes going here: https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig , nothing more.

I'll stick to https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas though this is quite nice. I wish it could remember the lists I had visible, but I realize why it can't :)

To the maker: nice idea! It makes me ponder over what other sites this could be done to... though this is a particularly perfect fit!

Thanks. And yeah, I really wish it could remember the lists. I'm hoping that someone will know an undocumented parameter we can pass to http://mail.google.com/tasks/ig to select a list. Anyone?

I snooped around a bit and it seems that you can do it by POSTing a JSON parameter to that URL, although I'm not sure if it includes a nonce.

I just figured it out! Now, in Chrome and FF4 it remembers the lists you select. I'm really excited about this...enjoy! :)

Very nice, that makes it a lot more useful :) I may even switch from Canvas view. Hopefully others see this!

Mind if I ask how? I see the URLs are list-specific now, but I don't know how you set it up to be so.

Hey Groxx how did you find about the /canvas link? I could find no reference on Google that would have direct me to it in the first place! Very curious how you knew about it. Thanks for it btw as I never knew it existed.

It is a part of tasks for iGoogle.

I found out about it via the Better Google Tasks Chrome extension. Probably never would've seen it otherwise.
