Wow. That's similar in vein to the project I've been working on slowly on the side for about a month now: http://bulletxt.com http://bulletxt.com - it currently saves your notes via browser session but I'm working on making it like pastebin and having an account system. It'll be very much like a typical text-editor with the ability to sort tasks via drag-drop, copy-paste, and share task subtrees. I highly doubt the emacs-type will end up using my app but it feels good to see I'm not the only one who has a need for organizing nested todo lists. I can't for the life of me figure out how everyone can deal with 1-level deep task lists.

I'm looking for a new todo list tool at the moment. How would it work for a vaguely GTD style?

  You would be able to create pages (tabs) and organize them. You can create tasks and subtasks within them. Press 'tab' to indent (i.e. make a subtask). And when you want a task+subtasks out of your mind & sight, click the [-] or press [`] key to hide. There will be a 'completed tasks' list for each page with some started/completion date info. I might put some deadline/highlight/bold options per task but haven't thought about it fully yet. It will vaguely do GTD like you put it but I don't think it will be a vitalist.com or even a simplegtd.com replacement. I don't think GTD itself is perfect and wrote untodos.com a year ago with 'today/soon/whenever' sections to help sort my life but it wasn't enough. What I really wanted was a place to immediately jot down my thoughts without any hassle when I was brainstorming and later sort them when I'm in a more organized mood. Hence there is no 'save' button in bulletxt (though you will have unlimited undo.)

So I love the web app. Super simple (especially with the keyboard shortcuts). Let me know when you have a login & saved lists will ya? Email in my profile.
