Thanks for trying it out!

I've only really shown it to friends and family so far, so I appreciate the feedback. Seeing all the todos you've entered so far does seem to be a common request. Of course everything with this app represents a line in the sand - once crossed, it becomes a regular (horribly underfeatured) todo app.

I've thought about making the list available, but in an intentionally inconvient format, such as comma separated and horizontally laid out, and on another page, so you will only consult it to remember what you've entered. It's all about keeping the constraints to steer you to interact with the app in a way that's actually productive.

Re: motivation, I agree. Hard to make any "productivity" tools sticky, unless they really do improve your life. I have a couple ideas though.

what if there was a live search to browse your incomplete to-dones, and also, you could set something on them to remind you about them (through email) in X number of days if they haven't been completed?

Nudging may be a bit brute force, but I was definitely thinking about the live search -- primarily as a mechanism for preventing you from entering duplicate todos -- could also effectively be used as a search that way.
