In my humble opinion, Todoist does things a little better. You have the normal methods of organizing, ie: projects, tags, due dates, etc. However, what's unique about Todoist is that you can set tasks to have hierarchies themselves. Using simple and easy to reference keyboard shortcuts, you can set subtasks. So now, for instance, if your project is "Vacation Plans", you can set two separate lists of "Packing" and "Itinerary" each with their own sublists. The other important aspect of Todoist is an easy to learn shorthand to quickly define the characteristics of a task when you first enter it. There's a neat GMail integration whereby you can install a Firefox plugin that puts an "Add to Todoist" link on each of your e-mails. So if, like me, you put email responses until later, you can quickly add them this way. iGoogle, Netvibes, and Dashboard interfaces are supported. Also, you can use Twitter, or an IM client to receive reminders.

Like many others who are trapped in their cubicles all day I've developed an unhealthy fascination with task managers, todo lists, and project trackers. I want that extra edge - that little boost that will help me get more done in less time. Todoist is one little tool created to make managing your pending todos easier. Todoist is a free web based todo list app (in an already very very crowded market) that has some very special charm all its own. [...], Todoist lets you create and sort projects in a very slick Ajax interface. Once you have a project you can create todo items within that project. Where the app really shines is in the customizations area. You can make text bold, underlined, and highlighted. You can also add links and due dates for items. By holding CRTL and using the arrow keys you can even indent a todo item or move it around in the list. One of the easy things you can do is create a item such as "Story Ideas" and quickly add your ideas under it using the * symbol to remove the checkboxes. Another nice feature of Todoist is that it supports natural date keywords for setting due dates. This way you can type "tomorrow" or "next Friday" and it will understand and assign the correct date. You can then create a schedule for the week using the handy date search box. Unfortunately there is no way to share your projects at this point, but it wouldn't surprise me if that is in the works. Todoist strives to be a very simple, fun, and easy to use tool that offers a lot of power to the average user. It doesn't offer you all the features you might expect from some of the more established alternatives, but that is by choice and what is there works wonderfully. Give it a look.

On Mac there is even a dashboard widget, so there Todoist integrates wonderfully with my desktop. When I get around to it ™ I’d love to program something similar to GNOME so I have the same integration with my Linux desktop.

I am also pretty hardcore on the server side. The main reason for this is probably my own framework (AmiWeb + (AmiDB + AmiGration)). My own framework is far from the best framework out there, but I love it since I made it. When I run into a problem I don't blame some other guys code or design - I blame myself. And I don't go complaining about this or that, I simply fix it. That's the power and curse of using your own stuff.
I've followed your progress almost daily since I stumbled with your blog. I am an aspiring Python programmer myself and I find your simplicity and functionality nothing short of inspiring. ...
I don't have a special data structure for nested lists. My implementation is very simple. I have two columns (indent and order) on my items table that keep track of an items indent and order - it's really that simple :) I use my own web framework that feels a lot like CherryPy. For database access I use AmiDB. For the dynamic interface I use AJS.

Its main advantage is OpenID support. However, website layout makes it difficult to figure out what you're navigating and how to do something as simple as add a new task. It can integrate with Jott, get tasks by e-mail, iCal, Palm, and XML exports from voo2Do and Vitalist. Most of the features are free, including a built in calendar, and the only services you must pay for as essentially superfluous. There's a Firefox Add-on, which is something most of the other services don't offer. This includes the ability to highlight text on a page and add it as a ToDo task.
Sproutliner is a free web service that helps you manage your projects and ideas (think of it as a supercharged structured to-do list). It uses some rather smashing client-side technology to make things as quick and easy as possible, without forcing you to worry about hitting 'submit' to save your precious data. ... Start using Sproutliner now by entering just any old name in the field below (you won't break anything, we promise). If a project with that name doesn't already exist, it'll create a new one for you, that name can then be used at any other computer to access your outline. Share it with clients, friends and coworkers to let them see and contribute to your progress and ideas.

RTM can be summed up into one word: integration. All of your tasks can be exported as iCal or RSS feeds, but even better is a full integration with Google Calendar. The GCal support lets you not only view tasks due on particular days, but fully edit the task at hand while in Google Calender. Furthermore, tasks can be mapped to real life locations using Google Maps, and viewed from within Google Calendar. iPhone and Windows Mobile are also supported, along with Twitter, Jott and a variety of others. The layout is clean and relatively simple, and website loading time is fast. There's some smooth AJAX going on here.
What makes voo2do different? Unlike most online to-do lists, voo2do tracks priority, due date, and time estimates for each task. There is no notion of "lists" in voo2do— tasks can be grouped by project, but you can view and edit a bunch of projects together. Voo2do supports some basic sharing of tasks.
You need voo2do.

This is a cute little site. You can set ToDo items in projects, set a due date, a priority, or add notes. The most interesting feature is the ability to mark how long you think the project will take you. You can start a timer when you are beginning the task, then return to the page and pause it when you are done. It will show you how much time you've spent on the task, and how much more you expect to do. You may also set "contexts" to group certain ToDo lists together, like a very basic tagging system. There are also some collaboration features, which I did not get an opportunity to try.

Obviously we are big fans of David Allen's GTD methodology. In an effort to bring GTD online, we created Vitalist. It implements every step of David Allen's methodology so you don't have to keep track of it yourself. No more painstaking updates of documents, spreadsheets, or paper to-do-lists. With Vitalist, your lists are online, in GTD format, and ready to be accessed or updated from anywhere. ...

There is a clean, Google-like aesthetic to Vitalist. You get iCal/RSS/atom export, and an API to mess around with if it suits your fancy. Netvibes and iGoogle gadgets are also supported. Vitalist uses both projects and contexts (again, contexts are basically tags). You can also keep a list of contacts, but there's no way to automatically include them in individual tasks. Like the name suggests, it's a healthy website and worth a try.

Nozbe: This website, like others, over complicates the process. The context icons are preset if you have a free account, and most of the features don't unlock unless you have a subscription. The number of projects you can open are limited, so I wonder what the point is unless you pay for the full service. Visually the site is too busy for my tastes, and the location of modifiers are counter-intuitive.

37 signals offers Ta-da List as a free service. It is an ultimately simplistic todo list creator. You cannot create heirarchies, set due dates, reminders; not a thing. While I'm a fan of simplicity (at least in aesthetics), Ta-da List takes it a bit too far. This is an
Closed source. $20/year.
http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/40437 What makes your todo list work for you?
hattifattener :
- I like the 43F/[Getting Things Done]/whatever approach of keeping track of not just "things to do", but "what is the next action?" for each of these things. "Put in new bookhelves" might be on my to-do list, but it's too nebulous. Things like "measure the space", "design the bookshelves", "buy the hardware", etc., are small enough to just do, and they're small enough tha they can bubble up to the top of the list and get done in a spare twenty minutes or when I happen to be going near the store, unlike "put in new bookshelves" which pretty much requires me to allocate a weekend to it before even considering the details.
tnoetz01:
- I don't usually make a to-do list for a given day; I just have a list of stuff that needs doing, and things get done when they get done.
ranglin:
- There are countless todo systems out there, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. I've found, however, that the single most important concept involved in getting things done is commitment do using the system you select. Pick a system that works for you, that helps compensate for your shortcomings, and stick with it!
- Another reason for my dayplanner/todo (that I don't see mentioned) is all about dumping my brain onto a piece of paper. I've got a pretty good memory, so I don't often forget stuff to do, but if I get too much on my list and I'm trying to remember it all, then it requires a significant mental effort on my part and I get stressed. If I can dump it all down on a list, then I don't have to remember anymore and I feel much more relaxed... I used to do this with scrappy bits of paper before I got my dayplanner, but the planner helps keep it mobile and in one place!
