Hi Paul, Is that just the way the cookie crumbles? Personally I haven't submitted anything, but I do click the 'ask' section and read through / upvote. Maybe

Hi Paul,

Maybe the title of your original submission didn't catch people's attention - it didn't state what the app did?
Secondly, task management is obviously a popular category and everyone has a differing opinion on the best way to do it. It's also something that most developers have knocked up themselves at some point, so it's not 'novel' per say.
With regards to your functionality - Microsoft Project does tree-based tasks I believe? (Although that's obviously a different market)
I watched your video - you could make it a bit snappier - you demonstrate the hierachy twice over with fb and twitter - you probably only need to do it once - or you could just say "I'll also add a couple more here" and do it really quickly. The less you can trim off the video, the better.
The completion / uncompletion works well, with the filtering and also the prioritisation - some nice neat little UI touches.
I wouldn't pay for it though as my personal preference for a to-do list is a piece of paper with a list :)
- paulnelligan 16y agoHey thanks for your comments. I agree completely. I feel that having subtasks in a web-app is pretty novel, since I haven't found another app that uses this type of functionality - I kind of understand why now - it's a bit of a nightmare to code. The video could definitely be snappier. In fact, I'm doing another version as I type. Thanks for your feedback. I still maintain that showing web apps on HN is something that can be improved upon, if we could just get a concise list, it would be fantastic. There wouldn't be so many submissions, since it takes a good deal of time and effort to submit an app :) cheers p.s. I also still use pen and paper, but I find nift.ie a very useful solution for myself personally in many cases.
