I am glad you addressed the fact that many people fill to-do lists with superfluous tasks that we would do anyways just to feel good about checking them off.

It's amazing when you get involved in a design how some things just don't get noticed - no matter how much you look critically at them! It's good to be have a critique. Have you heard of http://www.fivesecondtest.com/ they offer "simple easy feedback on your designs" and it's free! They are on twitter too. I'm looking forward to checking out your site again later.

Embarrassingly I managed to break the site in IE just before I commented on here - fixed now, you weren't the only one to spot that! I never noticed how annoying the bounce was on the scrolling images until you mentioned it - have removed that and slowed the scroll. I'm going to make some other changes based on your other suggestions too. Thanks again, Steve. @Tricia

Just had a look at your website. You asked for feedback so here's my humble opinion Great concept - looks easy to manage. Generally I thought your site appealing - the sticky note concept is great. I'm using Windows 7 (beta, about to install the full release) I use the sticky notes feature quite a lot, but I can't save and I can't add another. I would have liked to see the tour page button higher up the hierarchy so first time site visitors can quickly understand and decide if it's for them. I like the big call to action on the home page. Unfortunately there are a couple of things that would stop me (and probably others) from following up on that call. You haven't said if how much it costs! If there is a free version - shout it out! I'm sure you would get more response. The second thing would be the privacy and terms & conditions policies which aren't available. Are you planning on adding these later? I think to do so makes your site more professional and therefore implies trust and quality. Might be a good idea to add them. Something I didn't like was the continually moving alternating page graphic which became annoying very quickly. Not sure how you would solve this, but a smoother transition might make it less annoying. I really wanted to leave that page but was looking for the how to use info I had gone to the site because you asked for feedback - otherwise I'm not sure I would have stayed long enough to find out how it worked. Oh dear that all sounds negative, but that's not how I feel about what you have done. The site is generally attractive and simple - and appealing. I'm very interested in what you offer and so I will follow on twitter. Great to put in the link! Well done and Good Luck! @Steve. Just had a look at your website.

I've been building a new app that, among other things, lets you keep to-do lists. It ain't just the standard list that can be shuffled around though. It's a virtual whiteboard, complete with coloured sticky notes. I built it to scratch my own itch because I use a lot of to-do lists and was getting annoyed with having to click an option to re-arrange my list, then click again to edit and so on. Check it out if you've got ten minutes to spare. Any feedback is more than welcome. I have a bunch of extra features to add and it would be great to know what you think. Hello.
