Interesting thanks - have just targeted desktop for now, though making a sensible responsive layout for mobile should be fairly easy. Albeit it would mean that any snippets on mobile would not be shared with desktop given the local/browser based storage approach.

Snippets.dev is a PWA that stores everything locally in the browser (IndexedDB), with export/import to JSON for backups.

I can't install apps or use cloud-based solutions at work so I built this primarily for my own usage, but hopefully others might also find it useful.

Any feedback gratefully received.

Have you tried iMindMap (www.thinkbuzan.com)? Pretty sure it does that.

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated!

> Will there ever be time tracking? That's one feature I really wish Trello had by default.

We are currently considering all feature requests and this is one I've heard a few times. As such, it is definitely something we will consider!

> Does it have dependencies?

Not as yet, but this is an early release of the product and we are aggressively adding new features and improvements. This is definitely something we are considering.

Thanks for your comments. Some kind of 'quick-add' for tasks and groups is definitely something we are considering.

> What's the stack behind this? Very nice by the way!

The entire app is written in CoffeScript - we're using Node.js on the backend and the front is mainly SVG/D3.js/Backbone.js.

> This might be a bug, or not. If I have 2 groups with different colors and put one inside the other, the inner group changes color. Did not expect this behavior.

This is by design - we simply could not get the visuals to look at all decent with mixed colours for nested groups. The idea is that the one colour applies for the entire category.

Thanks for this. I personally like just clicking off to dismiss the modal, but admittedly if we keep this we need to be a bit cleverer in terms of not just losing the changes.

> I played with it a bit and unless I missed something, the size of the circle is only related to how many other circles are inside it.

This is true - the group (used to categorize task circles) grows to fit the content. We did play with allowing task circles to be resized to show priority/effort, etc, but couldn't get it to work well. We may revisit it, though.

Founder at DropTask here. Thanks for your comments, we'll give them some thought.

In terms of how we will survive, as Ygg2 has posted from our FAQ, we plan on charging for premium features and business accounts which will offer team administration/reporting, etc. In the meantime, we are well funded :-)

This is awesome.

I'm a founder at DropTask - thanks for giving it a go. Ordering within a group is definitely something we are thinking about, though we're unsure of a sensible implementation as yet!

I've managed to successfully failover to our own emergency backup version: https://twitter.com/williamlannen/status/263294924382937090

Bono just started his keynote.

We are going to set this up for our app, however there's a limit to how useful it is when you are reliant on services such as MongoHQ/PubNub (in our case) that are also affected!
