Yep.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found an article oohing and ahhing over the iOS list management app Clear, and talking about its release for OS X--they seemed to like it, but didn't think it was as revolutionary on the new OS, and as such, $14.99 was expensive in a market with Wundelist, etc.
So...since I'm kinda pouty about Astrid (I want to like them, honest) I stopped by and noticed that a) all my platforms and b) free. So I kinda downloaded it--not tested yet.
Anyone use it? Can compare? And also--what's their income stream? Given that they seem to be hosting web lists too, and I don't see the premium option like Astrid (I don't get how they fund themselves either, BTW).
But the idea of multiple lists versus tags is already getting me.
Back to Tasker for the mo--can I insert variables into HTML popups?
Also, the delete button is too close to--everything. I haven't lost anything big, but it's definitely a possibility. Needs to have more confirmation popups.t

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Clear is bullshit. don't waste your time.

If it's not on Android, I'm not interested--it's Wunderlist I'm checking out.
But why do you think it's bullshit? I always want to know dish.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
because it is a waste of time. if it wanted a pretty list. I'd use the papyrus font in multicolor!
seriously, it is more design over function. OmniFocus is better if you are going to go all in with cash for a to do list.

What does OmniFocus have that's worth paying for?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it is pretty good at multiple sets of tasks and a more complicated situation.
I think simple lists are probably ideal for most situations, but this summer I had to keep track of a lot of to dos and different "projects" and OF was good for this. Syncs with iphone and ipad and probably android too.

So far, Wunderist on my tablet far exceeds Astrid in terms of UI and ease to use--I'll give it that. But I'm already missing some functionality, like telling me how long to wait before deciding to nag me, or having a 5-setting priority division.
I fear, despite how quickly I just added in so many of my tasks, that it will not allow me to do the things I am taking for advantage so far. Sheeit--for all this simple, not tripping over the line into skeuomorphism., I can't work out how to set up a recurring to do. It's gotta be there somewhere. I'm going back in! IF you don't see me nattering in 5, I may be lost forever.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I tried Wunderlist, but it didn't twig me, somehow. I suspect my problem is that I started with Astrid, so now I just want any other program to be Astrid, but without Astrid's problems.
