TaskStep - a PHP to-do manager

Completely unrelated to mapping, as usual, but I was wondering if people could lend me their thoughts on this.

I've been playing around with PHP and MySQL and have built a small list/task manager app called "TaskStep". It's got a few features, like adding projects and contexts, as well as a new password system (probably horribly insecure). It also prints to both A4 and index cards, and exports to CSV files.

The website and everything can be found here.

Also, if anyone wants to talk more generally/extensively about it, I've installed a forum here (nobody's signed up yet though!)

If you have a moment comments/criticisms/suggestions/feedback would be much appreciated.

Keep refining, add features - get yourself on "hotscripts" or
sourceforge et al. Try and intergrate the product into existing blog
software - or active desktop? (does that still exist?)

As for the forums, i'd probably make them free to post (ie no registration).

I think you have a good idea, but with competition from ideas such as
Lotus Notes, it surely can't "prosper" as an indepedent entity. You
clearly have knowledge and motivation to code - if I were you, I would
seriously look into innovating further and trying to intergrate as an
addon for existing software (eg WordPress)

Maybe look into firefox extensions too - something like that with its own tab and/or status bar presence in the browser could be pretty neat, especially if it coordinated between that and a standalone program.

Cool, that way in some far flung future date we can have a new breed of complainers who notice that its incompatibilities with Snarkpit are there as well. Nice idea Duncan... Kinda like that great idea you had for me to update..

Thanks for the suggestions!

The forums should be open so you don't have to register.

Interesting idea with the integrating into existing blog software - I'll have a go at that. Unfortunately my last attempt to write a WordPress plug-in was a complete disaster, but this should be a bit easier.

Interesting idea with Firefox as well, again I'll look into it. A simple sidebar might work reasonably well I'd have thought. I'm afraid the app at the moment is only compatible with Firefox, since FF follows the W3C standards and so is a lot easier to build a site for. The app will work in IE, it's just that it is VERY ugly. :smile:

Keep the suggestions coming please!
