Hm. @troyd: Any suggestions if one of my todo lists already uses the new tab screen? :) https://chrome.google.com/websto...

@staringispolite Good question. If you prefer a blank or different new tab page, Taco works very well as a: * Bookmark. Add tacoapp.com to your bookmarks bar. * Web app. Browse to tacoapp.com from your PC, phone, or tablet. * Desktop app. Use Fluid or Prism (http://help.tacoapp.com/how-it-w...) You may want to have Taco send you a daily punchlist email as well: https://tacoapp.com/connectors. I think Taco's Chrome extension will get an optional button in Chrome's URL bar, so eventually you'll be able to choose which way(s) you prefer to use it. For now, a bookmark works pretty well.

@troyd any plans on a mobile app?

@AdrianGrant Because mobile Web apps are so flexible, we started there, and I think we'll be able to do everything with a mobile-optimized Web app. Hit tacoapp.com from your phone or tablet and it should just work, no app install needed. A few parts of completing tasks still need TLC, but it works great for planning your morning from a cafe or, uh, bar stool. Here's a few slightly outdated screenshots: http://blog.tacoapp.com/post/823...

Dear @troyd :-)) Just a couple of questions/comments because I'm too brain dead to scour through the taco help files ... 1) When flagged emails come through should they go away if I unstar them and hit refresh inside taco? I ask because that doesn't seem to be happening and I have a gazillion tasks that I'm trying to put that list on a strict diet :-) 2) Is there a total that tells us how many we've got on there or is that a bad idea? it probably is .... counter-productive :-) 3) Re the theme I find the colour I've chosen to accommodate the white font hard on my eyes and the typeface is too tiny for me unless I zoom in on chrome.... then it's ok. 4) I think the fact that we can search across all our task apps for keywords is gobsmacking amazing.... I'm stunned at how many related tasks I have in different spots. 5)Can we please have a tiny favicon taco and the word taco in the new tab extension? 6) I sent a bug thing about the next up list coming at 5pm my time (I'm in Australia) so I'm sure you put it on one of your lists.... 7) I'm trying to get my head around using ifttt for any of this but at the moment I'm happy just trying to get to ground zero with what we've got. cheers, Helen ps I shall go to sleep again dreaming of this app - thanks!!

@helencrozier These are wonderful comments, Helen. So that I don't make this forum thread very noisy while we discuss these, I'm going to email you privately with long thoughts. Please expect another email in the next 48 hours (and thanks!).

Props. Props. Props. I have a softspot for powering cross application search, prioritization and organization (see our work at Simplist www.producthunt.com/posts/simplist). LOVE the promise here. Just getting started but I hope AnyDo becomes another data source/connector. You may have just leveled up my productivity to scary levels and +1 to Helen's comment on realizing how much overlap there is in my notes/tasks.

@ronjdub Great timing. I just emailed AnyDo's CTO today to try to make this happen.

started using this, fantastic chrome plugin! Also like how it pulls names of Github repos directly when giving examples of how to use filters. Very smart idea to make the UX feel more personalized.

@mrvladnov Thanks! We just added better Asana filters (like: today OR upcoming) and Sprintly filters (like: (in-progress OR accepted) "My Big Project"). The example filters now consistently use quotes, too. They only quoted the examples which required quotes, and I think that was more confusing than helpful. Up next, mostly based on where folks ran into problems: * Optional bigger fonts * Smarter Trello support. In addition to Trello cards you're added to, Taco should be able to treat all cards in certain boards & lists to be your tasks (like for personal boards). * Automatically retrieve changes more often. While Taco can't and doesn't need to be realtime, it can and should be current - like an hour or less while you're working. Right now, Taco updates daily, when you click "Sync," and when you have the site open for a while. * ToodleDo and Freshdesk

Just started using. First pull in very messy. Still figuring out, when I have time (will put that on my to-do list, haha!). But first glance, looks great, very useful - exactly what I need. Great job to the team!

@metakrystal takes a bit or pre-organizing and doesn't work well with inbox from gmail but otherwise its incredibly effective.
Emily Lien
Is there a way to show only the unread emails when connecting a Gmail account?
Rey Alejandro
Is this available offline? that's my problem with gmail and trello that's why I opt in for wunderlist and just connect them thru zapier or ifttt
Ria Blagburn
This looks great; good find @helencrozier!
Tim Jahn
LOVE the idea. Was looking for something like this a while back. Ironically, in the absence of a solution, I pared down to just using Gmail starred emails as todos.
