Joshu, thanks for your feedback!
I was concerned about the cold start as well, I'll think of a better way to do a first run.
You can add a new item using cmd-N and then hit 'tab' to edit it. When you're done, hit 'enter' or 'tab' again to edit tags. I'll be changing it so right after adding a new item, it'll go straight to editing it.
I haven't thought of Growl integration, but honestly it sounds like a great idea to show users what to do next in their list.
(Pretend each hyphen starts a new bullet point)
Problems: - The cold start is a bit weak on first run. What should I do next? A little tutorial would be good. - I wish I could create an item without mousing to edit the description. Is this possible?
Ideas: - Growl integration: Randomly pop up items that need to be done, sortof as a teaser. Perhaps bias towards older or stale items? - Dependancies?
Wild idea: - add a server component, via a simple REST api, with a simple PHP version. Let me make a specific project folder be shared with other people. The website can show a simple list of todos/completions ala twitter. (anything you can X, I can social X. sorry.)
