I thought it was really neat! First thoughts: Would be helpful to have shadowed "username / password" in the first fields. I wasn't sure if those were for registering, or for logging in, or what. So that would be helpful. Second thoughts: Love the simplicity, wish I could do more. Maybe that's not what you're going for - in which case, awesome! - but I'd love a way to go beyond the simple functions and have a simple but subtly powerful ability to do more. Fine though, can move on from there. Third Notes: Your feedback logo is missing from the first page, just has the link. Intentional? Also, when I want to delete something, I would want something better than a "pop up" asking me if I wanted to delete it - a bit obtrusive. Better to have a fade out or something clever. Final thoughts: Does something very very simple very well, I just wish it were less simple for my own needs. I also wish there were some quickly user-configurable style sheets to change the colors, since the shades of grey kind of mask the tasks etc and don't quite pop out in a way that makes it skimmable. But I really like it and it seems to definitely meet the need you wanted to address!

RE: First thoughts I agree. Or if you populate username/password and click signup. The details you've entered are already there.

  That's a good idea, for now I made the signup link a bit more distinct.

"Love the simplicity, wish I could do more. Maybe that's not what you're going for - in which case, awesome!" Thanks! That the idea, at least for now. It used to have GTD-style context and various other features, but I almost never used them personally, so I gradually removed them. I'm open to more advanced features though, as long as I have real-world use cases to back them up. "Third Notes: Your feedback logo is missing from the first page, just has the link. Intentional?" Yes, I admit there's not much rational reason for it, I just don't feel like duplicates. "Also, when I want to delete something, I would want something better than a "pop up" asking me if I wanted to delete it - a bit obtrusive. Better to have a fade out or something clever." It was like that once, but on some occasions I accidentally removed tasks when I was dragging and fiddling around. Then I realized deletion is a fairly rare operation, most of the time I just mark tasks as complete, so I thought a prompt strikes a good balance. I guess I could make it more ajaxy. :) "the shades of grey kind of mask the tasks etc and don't quite pop out in a way that makes it skimmable." I'm trying to figure out a good colour as well. The tasks used to be a darker grey with white text, which had much more contrast. Maybe I should go back to that. I kinda chose the easier colour transitions for aesthetic reasons.
