Interesting concept, where we're going back to terminal kind of input. Just think this in mobile doesn't make my life that easier, since writing these symbols on mobile are hard. But I like the concept, and actually believe that tools as Trello should adopt more of these type of codes. For example, I would love to, through the name of a Trello card, add items do a checklist inside that card. Or to be able to add a description for example. This would make my life much easier when copy pasting lists of tasks to a Trello list. In other words, think you may have at least inspired some other tools.

I love the idea of codes instead of menus. I am the kind of person that masters shortcuts and codes to maximize efficiency. However, on my phone I actually believe that an effective User Interface would be superior to codes, so I find it interesting that this was built "mobile first". I mean, I get it, you always have your phone on you. But to me this is a perfect app for the computer. You could even make a CLI of it. Because the speed of typing on a keyboard and the fact that on a computer you have to move your hand off the keyboard to navigate and press things with a mouse, a code based system would be far more efficient and superior to menus on a computer. However, back to the phone, I would find this less ideal on my phone because typing is less desirable on the phone (especially because you need to switch keyboards to do characters like hashtags, quotes, and @ sign). This all would slow me down over a well thought out gesture based interface. So maybe I would suggest a hybrid system. Can we maybe combine gestures on the phone with the codes on computers? I don't know these are only first impressions. I will try it myself and maybe find that codes on the phone aren't as bad as I am imagining. Regardless, this seems like an obvious play for a desktop app or even as a plugin to spotlight or alfred or something like that. In fact, an alfred-like interface for a todo app would be sick! A quick shortcode I press at any time to pull up a textbox overlay and then I type my code and click enter and continue on my work. I couldn't think of a more efficient todo app than that. Best of luck. Hope my ramble is useful advice for you guys!

Looks very interesting! Two questions from an avid user of Wunderlist: 1. Why not just use natural language like Wunderlist for dates etc? This would make it easier to speak into the input box using my device's mic feature in the keyboard. 2. Any plans to have a desktop app and Android app?

This is awesome! Twoodo (https://www.twoodo.com) uses a similar way to create tasks/content. Would love to see a webversion of Taskcode as well.

Not going to use a task manager that doesn't have a web/desktop interface. Any plans to add one?

One other question: when looking at the tutorial on your website it indicates dates are entered in as dd/mm/yy; can this be changed to mm/dd/yy?

I'll try to describe what I'm talking about. Say that I set a reminder for a work report that is due 9am tomorrow. If I have the app running in the background, my hope would be that a "1" (indicating that I have the report task due) would populate on the icon automatically tomorrow without me having to open it first. Does that make sense?

Looks really interesting; definitely considering this. Can you tell me if Taskcode has app badges for tasks that are due?

Awesome!! Do they auto update in the background, or do you have to open the app first for them to update?

I think an automatic quotes for title would be 👍. The other codes feel natural but that I cannot get into. Also re-ordering of items seems to be missing now.

your feedback email appears to not exist so ill just do it here. q/f (questions/feedback) 1 - you could fix your parsers to allow a subtask and a reminder in a todo. 2 - theres a bug where if i cross off a subtask and then edit the todo it uncrosses off that completed subtask. thats could be fixed. 3 - will there ever bee a web client? even jsut a simple text one where i can write raw codes? computer - phone is kind of important for todos.

@danny_kurian just purchased! Any chance we'll be seeing an update where we have a larger choice of colors?

I really like the card layout and overall look of this, but I'm not seeing anything that's tempting me away from another solution that offers robust natural language task creation across multiple platforms (Todoist, in my case). It doesn't do subtasks or colours via NLP input, but it processes all the rest, often without the need for any special syntax. For example, your third preview—“Take Medicine” $daily @0800a—could be entered in Todoist by simply typing: Take Medicine daily at 8am. Can you comment on what key differentiating features or advantages you see versus products like that?

If this went to desktop also I'd use it. Everything else for more is too much input Evernote, Trello etc. This finally may be the system that beats pencil and paper

I like the direction your going. You could easily use the "codes" just like you enter calendar entries with natural language. Having to learn new "codes" is do able but I feel takes too much effort.

wow, this makes task creating about 6 times more complicated...

This reminds me of Remember The Milk as they allowed text codes to indicate task attributes. It made it easy to input a lot of extremely fast once you got the idea down. Do you have a web app? Not sure I'd get the same value when I have to use my mobile keyboard

This would be an instant buy if it had a macOS companion app. Love the format -- I could see myself using this.

Pretty cool product, @danny_kurian. I was going to pass since in my heart of hearts I'm really a natural language fan; however, considering the unnecessary douchebaggery displayed toward you by some (looking at @stoweboyd) I'm just gonna snag it anyway. I totally agree about a Mac OS companion for anything that is as typing-focused as this. For what it's worth, I'm a fan of Calendars 5 date/time entry system. Anyway, looking forward to what you have in store next for it.

Awesome I'll surely give it a try! It can be a killer app with a IFTT integration.
