I really like the concept of Today/Soon/Later. It's very similar to the Today/Soon/Whenever sections on my app http://untodos.com

I wish they had made this app last year so I wouldn't have spent time on creating my app (and could just send them feature requests instead :-P). None of the old todo list apps made it easy to move tasks around so good job to the developers on that. I keep my app extremely minimalist because all I want to see are my tasks but I love this interface a lot. Good job!

All this to-do app needs to do is integrate with twitter and provide url-shortening services...

I have been hunting for a good GTD application which weaves seamlesslsy with your life ( Gmail in my case ). So far the only application I have been content with is RememberTheMilk. Check out it's integration with Gmail using the Firefox plugin.

I think this looks really cool and useful and I will probably give it a try. I don't know anything about GTD, but I use Ta-da Lists extensively and this looks like a nice step up for me. I would miss the ability to share my lists with others, but I could live with that. Handling text input intelligently is very nice.

The audio on the demo video is terrible. I had to crank the volume on my PC to make it out. I would consider re-recording it, and getting some help from someone who knows how to record sound.

It would be good to be able to try out your app before creating an account.

I want to quickly get a feel for it without going to the hassle of creating an account.

Yes, I know you have a screencast, but that's not what I want.

I would like to see a 'Try Me Out' button that gets me into the app an allows me to click on buttons etc. to see what they do.

edit: Oops, I missed the link to the demonstration. Maybe make it bigger.

I don't really see the great advantage of this over a simple task list. I've tried several GTD apps, and I eventually settled in to Google Calendar with Google Tasks loaded in the sidebar.

For those who care, Google tasks can be accessed directly here:

I can't find the GTD flow in your app. Seems more like a todo thing.

Not my app, sorry for any confusion. Just happened to drop by the blog (on a totally unrelated search). The app looked fine, the devs nice guys, and I thought both sides (the devs and HN) would profit from a look-see. Didn't warn them, though, they'll figure it out ...

I took their word for it on the GTD thing. It even had the 'registered' glyph somewhere ;-)

This looks similar to BaseCamp. What does runway have to separate it out from the competition?

That's not very constructive feedback. How about a hint?

Please make an option to switch between European and American style dates...I would use this if I didn't have to consciously think about the dates I'm typing in to make sure they're in the correct format
