> do you honestly believe that or is this sort of an oblique suggestion that it would be non-trivial/"unsimple" to implement?

Not oblique, it's a common feature although I agree with you that few get it right.

But the issue isn't difficulty of implementation, it's with NowDo's philosophy, which is obsessive about simplicity. Our goal with it is to create the simplest useful todo app. The lack of features is its most important feature.

> This is such a mission-critical thing otherwise you're like every other Todoist non-competes scrambling for Todoists crumbs. Its like literally just that to me with the infinite nesting and i can't remember if they allow swipe indenting but thats the most natural/intuitive in combination with drag and drop which can be used together and interchangeably.

Todoist users aren't our target market, we're aiming for the people that want something much simpler and more opinionated than Todoist. We think they are an underserved market, but we're only in the very early stages of testing that thesis.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Sorry for the slow reply, this is very helpful - thank you.

Thanks for the feedback, we will be making shortcuts configurable.

Appreciate the feedback.

What do you like about Strongbox's model? Is it the availability of a lifetime plan?

> The default shortcut conflicts with my window manager, so I cannot use it.

Ah, interesting - may I ask what window manager you use? Is it the combination of CTRL+OPT that causes the conflict? We can make the shortcuts configurable, I've added an issue to our tracker.

> Also for the UI, if there is a mode that when the app is unfocus then the UI will hide all other text buttons, which I think will make it looks less distract.

This is something I've considered, perhaps a configuration option to hide the buttons when the app isn't focused. They serve the purpose of acting as a reminder about the keyboard shortcuts but experienced users shouldn't need that. I'll add it to our issue tracker.

> Really nice and clean app btw!

Thank you, and thank you also for the suggestions :)

That makes sense for a solo project, but there are three of us working on this so it's helpful to use CI/CD.

Thank you so much for the feedback and suggestions:

> 1. totally encrypted/syncing etc (iOS in the roadmap ;)

We're considering offering an encrypted cloud service, or alternatively, integrating with Dropbox/Google Drive. Details are still being worked out but data sovereignty is very important to me so that will be an important design consideration whichever approach we choose.

> 2. Infinite nesting (indenting/outdenting)

While I understand the utility, this feature might detract from NowDo's core philosophy of simplicity. Our aim is to avoid complexity that might distract from task execution, though I'm always open to re-evaluating features that could enhance user experience without compromising simplicity.

> KeePass type standard that is "portable" in the sense your data is always soverign and extensible or whatevr

We're currently using a universal CSV format for easy import/export of tasks. Does this align with your expectations, or were you thinking of something different?

> Purchaseable/One-Time Large payment like $50-100 with abillity to tip or however one wants to supplement if they wish to support dev

Your suggestion for a one-time fee in the $50-$100 range, with optional tipping, is intriguing. Our initial thought was a lower price point ($10-$15), but we're open to exploring different models. The balance between accessibility and sustainability is key for us.

> Customizable font/ui text and display size. This is important, a lot of apps that offer these features in various mixed bags are usually annoyingly ant-sized and non-customizable

Excessive customization can sometimes detract from usability and design coherence. However, your point about text/display size is well taken, especially for accessibility reasons. We’ll consider this feedback carefully. Could you share if you find the current UI size too big, too small, or are you highlighting a general need for adaptability?

Again, really appreciate your feedback.

Yes, I've wired it up to work with Github Actions so it's automatic now - but it wasn't easy.

Nice, quite a similar philosophy.

That's not good, will investigate - thank you.

Nice, frogtab looks interesting, is there any documentation for it?

Not trying to be anonymous, the app is digitally signed and verified by Apple.

> I wouldn’t probably pay for a service, but I might be happy to pay a one time fee for a function that dumps the todo file (I understand it’s a csv) every time there is an update so I can integrate that on some other workflow (like committing to git, or importing into obsidian).

Yes, it seems there is a strong preference for a one-time purchase over a subscription, so I'll definitely give that serious consideration as we figure out our business model. My prototype for NowDo (which ran on i3/linux) uses Notion as a back-end.

> Another thing I might pay for is a iPhone app so I can mark todos completed on the go, but it’s probably very difficult to to a always on window there.

I think iphones now support widgets, similar to Android - so I think we can do something similar to NowDo's always-on-top. Iphone and Android versions are on our roadmap.

Absolutely - with NowDo you just hit Ctrl+Opt+A (from any app) and type the task, hit enter - and then you can safely forget about it and get back to what you were doing. Making it as easy and non-interruptive as possible to add tasks was a key design goal for exactly the reason you mentioned.
