more about my-todo

my-todo is a project based on Google App Engine and Gears.

Basically, it comes from experiment on Google Gears. Google Gears is a browser extension, which allows browsing site without network.

It first looks simple and ugly. And it's not as wide as normal web site. But soon I found it fits for the width of Firefox sidebar. Firefox has a sidebar for the bookmarks, and it also could be used for loading web pages.

I hacked some javascript so that when you add my-todo to the bookmark and click it, the page will be loaded in the sidebar.

I also found the width of page maybe fits for the mobile such as iPhone. I custom the page, it now looks great. I wished it would be OK for GPhone, but I can't test it.

The design philosophy I followed is KISS. And I know there are hundreds of similar project, strong and complex enough in the world. I love simple things, so I decide to never add 'friends' feature in the project.

But lots of friends see my project. They wish to share what they doing with friends.

Finally I decide to do it a new way, adding twitter feature in my-todo.
More and more like to micro blog their life. my-todo made the GTD and micro blogging together.

OK, that's the my-todo, for now. Maybe more features in the future.
