I find it courageous to write a web app that competes in such a crowded market such as task management. I'm not saying it's impossible to find a spot there, but it's certainly difficult.

In order for hesitant users to start using it, perhaps it would be useful that you could easily get back to it. Perhaps by picking an easy-to-remember URL for your list?

Also, I'd decide early in the product development process whether you want to target advanced users or a more broad audience. I'd ask for shortcuts, labels, sublists, ... but that's not what other type of users would necessarily appreciate.

I'm currently trying to keep the app simple and clutter-free, so it's been a challenge not to pack it full of every feature that comes to mind. Sublists would definitely make it onto the feature-list; I think they're handy and my first prototype had infinite sublists. At this point, I'm not sure how I could integrate that in, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for your comment!

(Also, left/right arrows allow you to traverse days or months, and the down arrow focuses the add-task field.)
