This sounds amazingly similar to the beginning of our post on Medium [1]. As you point out, email is only part of the whole picture. We're aiming to add the tools to organize email along with your personal/business todos without giving up that agency.

Snippet: "Would you use a todo list where all your tasks are created by someone else, and you can’t prioritize or rearrange them? Of course not — they’re your tasks, so you should be in control. Using a todo list sorted only by creation time would be incredibly frustrating. But that’s exactly what email is."

We have a Chrome app (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/moodo-organize-you...) available that acts as a native app and includes notifications. If you're on OSX and don't use Chrome, FluidApp is a great alternative. We completely support offline access to your data from both the apps as well as your browser. Hope that's helpful - if you have any questions send us an email at [email protected].

Thanks for taking the time to look at our app!

We do not send any personal information about your account apart from your email address to our servers, everything else is only sent to your devices. We use Google Drive and the Google Realtime API to synchronize your data.

It's not that we want access to your Google account as much as your account stores your information you enter. As a result our servers handle (and have access to) significantly less of your personal data than most other services.

If you have more privacy concerns or want to know more about how Moo.do uses your Google account please send me an email at [email protected] or check out our privacy policy http://moo.do/privacy.

They are not added yet, but location tagging is on our list of features that we want to see in Moo.do.

We are working on supporting international dates and keyboards better. I don't have an ETA for when this will be available, but it will be sooner rather than later.

In the short term no. We rely on Google to provide free data storage and a free data synchronization backend in order to provide a free app.

In the long term yes. We would like to allow the user to choose where and how their data is stored. We want you to have complete control over any data that you put into the app. We do however have a large number of features that we feel are important to Moo.do to finish before we get to this point.

In addition to adding more services and content types accessible through Moo.do, we would like to add more ways to view that content.

So for example we currently have two ways of viewing your data within Moo.do (what we call a 'Normal Pane' and a 'Timeline Pane'. The 'Normal Pane' displays as a hierarchical text document. The 'Timeline Pane' displays your items ordered by due date and priority. Both of these operate on the same data but the end result is different.

We appreciate the bug report, we will look into this for our next app release.

Let us know if we're missing any keyboard shortcuts that would be useful to you! My favorite one that got added recently (and as a result is currently undocumented) is using alt+shift+up/down arrows to move items around.

Glad you're enjoying it! Great idea about the date searching, we've added it to our list of work.

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about Moo.do!

> What is the intended delineation between a document and a top-level header?

Sharing and collaboration works at a document level. I have a separate document if I need to collaborate with someone on a unique topic and have multiple top-level headers in a single document for broad organization within a single topic.

> How are notifications in the app (ios) incorporated. Do they notify based on "@date time" of item?

Each item that specifies a time of day using ‘@date time’ will get a notification 30 minutes before it is due. Items that do not have an exact time mentioned (like 3:00pm) will not cause a notification. [This is not currently working on iOS 8 and we have an update waiting for review.]

> How might this be used as a notepad. It seems like a big aspect of it is the crossing-off of items?

We’ve tried to keep the app as close to just editing text as possible. You can type like you would in Notepad or a Word/Google document with no problems. All of our features are there if you would like to use them but will stay out of your way if you don’t.

> Does @tomorrow turn into @today in the document when a day has passed. Same w/ @today to @yesterday etc?

Yes - we rollover dates that change meaning as the current day change. If you want to ‘pin’ an item to stay visible to you, you could set a priority on the item or mark it as @now or @soon.

We have plans to add additional sources of contacts (and other services) to the app. Having first and third party plugins for adding content and viewing data in different ways is a big part of our goal.

Glad you're enjoying Moo.do!

Thanks for the bug report - we are actively looking at a couple of internationalization issues. If you run into more please send an email to [email protected] and we will make sure it is handled.

Our first commit to our active repository was 7/16/12, so it's been a while coming. Our team of two has put Moo.do through a bunch of iterations and some massive changes since then.

We're currently focused on enhancing our agenda/calendar experience and integrating additional services and data sources into Moo.do. Is there a feature that you would be particularly excited to see?

Comment · 12 years ago

We certainly hope it does! If you have any questions or issues porting your data over let us know.

The header is set as position: fixed in css so it will stick to the top of the page. We hook into the document.onscroll event and set a css transform on the logo when the page is scrolled down. The css transition gives it a smooth animation. We also transition the opacity on the “Organize your way” text to hide it as it moves to the top of the page.

Glad you like it nnain! We also spent a lot of time looking at different organization options prior to starting Moo.do and weren't happy with what they provided (usually at a cost!). If there's a killer feature that would make Moo.do a better experience for you we'd love to hear about it.

The size of the android install is a little on the large size, but we're using https://crosswalk-project.org/ instead of the native webview to get better feature support and performance on older devices.

We strongly believe that you should remain in control of your data. We currently support HTML, JSON and plain text exports with plans to support OPML. If there's another format you're interested in let us know.

We also support direct imports from Wunderlist, Google Tasks, Workflowy, Trello and Todoist. When you first run the app options to import your data will be there.

You can also access your data directly using the Google Realtime API. Your data is stored on your own Google Drive - you're not going to lose access to it.
