Toodledo Keeps Upgrading
Jake Olefsky is working hard. He’s got even MORE features into Toodledo that should be enticing to practitioners of GTD and users of online to-do products. Check out the current feature list for this free web-based software:
- Folders - You can organize your tasks into different folders or projects. For example, you could have a folder for work related tasks, one for home projects and another for your hobby. You can have unlimited tasks and unlimited folders.
- Due-dates - Set a due-date for a task and we’ll remind you when the deadline is approaching. You can also have tasks that repeat once you finish them.
- Priority - Some tasks are more important than others. With priorities, you can better sort and organize your tasks.
- Time Tracking - By assigning an estimate of the time required for each task you can prioritize better and find small tasks to fill in little chunks of free time.
- Notes - You can attach lengthy notes to any task, so you can keep track of important information.
- Tags - Add tags or keywords to help describe the task. This can be used to keep track of the state or progress of a task. Or use it for your own organization scheme.
- Collaboration - You can easily share your to-do lists with coworkers, friends, family or anyone else. You have complete control over who has permission to read or modify your to-do list.
- Import / Export - It’s your data, so you should be able to take it with you. You can import and export your tasks in a variety of formats, including RSS, XML and iCal.
- Customization - Easily hide fields that you don’t use or disable functionality that you don’t like.
Jake’s also got APIs released, mobile integration, and lots of other features worth checking out. See if this might integreat into your plans.

Looks very promising, but it frequently ‘hangs’ and causes Firefox to tell me “A script on this page has stopped responding…”
Perhaps once it’s seen a bit more refinement. It has, however, prompted me to resume development of my own web-based system, so thanks for that

Whoops
That bug has been fixed. It only occured when someone had 0 folders (a new user). All my beta testers had many folders so this scenario never came up. Silly of us to miss that.
When you build at a feverish pace, bugs are bound to pop up. But, we squash them fast.

Didn’t expect a response here, I appreciate that & the fast reply. Heading back over now to poke around some more.

I took a few minutes to check out the features comparison and create an account. I was scared off by the initial view.
There’s too much going on. Having lots of features is a good thing, so long as they don’t overwhelm.

I appreciate your remarks about the initial view being too cluttered. I will work on that.
Keep in mind that one of the “features” of toodledo is the ability to turn off features that you don’t use (nobody else lets you do this). If you visit your account settings, you can get rid of all the stuff you don’t want.

I just discovered this app and I love it - a ton of functionality and endless possibilities.
I started a forum for toodledo users at usetoodledo.com if anyone is interested in sharing ideas, tips, tricks etc..

Just started looking at Toodledo this weekend. Looks very promising..as I have multiple computers, emails, PDAs and now a Treo. Difficult to keep in sync without a single source. Toodledo looks like it could be the answer.
Scott, I will check out your forum as well.

It would be nice if the user could change the colors of the sidebar, tabs and horizontal dividers. I’m not a fan of that purple.
Perhaps I’ll just write a greasemonkey script to change the css properties…
It would also be nice if you could dynamically show/hide the sidebar. I like having access to so much in the one main screen but I think it could use a more polished look.
Seems like a great app though. I’m just getting started with it and am likely to pay for the pro version.

I finally got around to writing a greasemonkey script that allows you to toggle the visibility of the left sidebar on Toodledo. Now I can see all of the columns in my task list.
If you think this could be useful you may want to try it out. You can find it here: http://doree.com/stuff/
The script is called Toggledo. If you try it out, please let me know what you think.

The Toggledo script adds a link (Toggle Sidebar) in the upper yellow bar where you currently find the Sort, Filter and Quicksearch links. Clicking on the new link toggles the visibility of the sidebar.
