Nicely done. Can you please shed some light on what did you use to make this? It'll be really helpful for a beginner like me.

Congrats on launching. From a non-hacker currently learning rails and with a new found respect for developers, respect. My thing is I'm afraid to log-on, especially with my twitter account. For example, I would never type the 3rd to-do item into a browser! Heck, if I was to type that 3rd to-do item as an intention in an email I would be proof-reading the recipient list like I have OCD.

Will be helpful if it takes Time Zone of user in account. It is already Monday afternoon and your app is asking me things to do for Sunday.

I can imagine this using some sort of "somethingnew" list (from e.g. www.reddit.com/r/somethingnew) or maybe you can feed it a list of things you always wanted to do but (typically) never got around to... so you give it some tasks, maybe specify a condition (weekends or during the week?) and next thing you know, it tells you to do that task the next time those conditions are met.

Is 'Rails for Comedians' a real thing? I tried to google it.

Nice app! This reminded me of the post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1541081 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1541081 and the app rootein.com

I would like to try it, but I have no idea what you are going to post to twitter. Could you explain somewhere exactly what gets posted and when. Also, can I control what is private and public? I get that a totally public to-do list might make people do them better, but I just need to understand exactly how public it is before I type my to-dos into it.

Let's see if it can make me even a tad more productive..

This is quite good. I love the 3 item limit. Forces you to pick what's important, and get it done. I currently use TeuxDeux list, but only to track my "One important task" for the day. I rarely need to see anything other than today's tasks, though, so I might switch to this.
