Very interesting system. And of course our primary project management system isn't part of it (solve360). Might try and play with it anyway. But excellent idea since everyone is using many different systems for different needs and have to check them individually.

Trying to use this. I would love to see Redbooth integration, probably the same as Trello. Redbooth is my main PM tool for non-dev work.

This is a great find! Would love to see Salesforce tasks being added to the equation, from a sales perspective.

Why taco? Mexican food obsession? Possible to integrate with AnyDo? Looks solid though.

@mzuvella the neatest device I could think of was a taco foundry[1]: push a button, get a taco. It started life as Taco Foundry, so we started calling it Taco for short. Simpler and shorter wins, so it became Taco. [1]: That's probably a "yes" to "Mexican food obsession?" :-) Bonus: there's a debit card in my wallet which says Taco Foundry.

@troyd Please tell me you only buy tacos with that card? ;)

@mzuvella Taco makes perfect sense as a name to me. You can throw almost anything inside a tortilla, roll it up, and call it a taco. That's a good analogy for getting a bunch of disparate networks and rolling them up into your "taco". Doesn't hurt that the name's short, easy to spell, and memorable.

@mzuvella Even better: I got to use it once to purchase memelitas in Oaxaca (on this trip: https://twitter.com/troyd/status...). They're an ordinary and necessary business expense.

The connectors are useful, but is there a way to manually add a Task?

@muldster in a word, no :) Here's the longer version. There's 3 reasons why: 1. Taco would be the 2,500th general-purpose way to track tasks, and if no existing solution meets your needs, the odds are slim that our 2501st version is going to. 2. Really lightweight entry systems already exist, like Google Tasks, sending yourself and/or starring an email, TaskPaper, Todoist, and plain text files. The problem of very quickly entering a task can be solved without Taco. (Taco also has keyboard shortcuts to open a connected service in a new tab.) 3. The expanded scope would be distracting. We can make an awesome way to get more of your existing tasks done, but not if we also try to be a general-purpose task manager. Hope this context helps.

@troyd — Thanks, I figured that was the rationale. Really just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind :-)

@troyd are you looking for funding? what's the business potential for all the investors here?

@eriktorenberg We're not specifically looking for funding, but we are out to solve a big problem. We created Taco to help others who wear multiple hats stay "in the zone" all day. The zone – peaceful, productive, challenging, rewarding work – is actually called flow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flo... We've all had days that feel basically effortless and it's an incredible feeling. Taco was productized because it did that for me personally and I saw the results and felt the change. My goal, and Taco's purpose, is to help flow become the norm, not the exception. Delivering peaceful productivity to that many people isn't a simple undertaking, so if someone reading this feels the pain too, I'd enjoy chatting, whatever your interest. (How is a much longer discussion. The gist: give me the visibility to confidently focus on one task; let me move from one specific task to another so I'm never generically "working"; help me break down or eliminate challenging tasks.)

Is there a way to show only the unread emails when connecting a Gmail account?
