Re: no-signup approach

I really like the fast start, but I would MUCH prefer them to allow me to give them some login info (maybe even just Google login or something) so that I wouldn't have to save a funky URL someplace. In addition to that, the option to have multiple trees (hit the holly button) is useless since only the browser that's seen all of your trees can access all of them (without the funky URL). It would almost be a feature if you could also forget trees that you've seen (keep a work tree and a home tree, perhaps, but no work at home). I think it badly needs the option of having a login or at least an unsecure custom URL option.



Because of no-signup, there is a great opportunity here for creating to-do lists for small collaborative projects. But Google-wave style simultaneous editing is not there (yet?).


Is that really lost if there's a login that keeps track of the individual list urls? I don't think they have to become private just because they're tracked.
