I like the presentation. Very easy to follow along in the beginning, but you kinda lose me at 1:59. I think you can do a better job explaining this. Really think that the phone view next to the website view is a great touch.

With todoist if you complete a task it crosses it out, which really looks great visually if you are checking off a list. maybe if you check one of the rows, finished column, it crosses out everything in that row.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll find a way to make the foreign table creation at 1:59 more intuitive.

Re: the auto cross out, one thing you can do is add a filter that filters by "Completed?" = unchecked, which will make each row automatically fade out when you check (you can create a different view to show the Completed books)
