I can't find the GTD flow in your app. Seems more like a todo thing.
Not my app, sorry for any confusion. Just happened to drop by the blog (on a totally unrelated search). The app looked fine, the devs nice guys, and I thought both sides (the devs and HN) would profit from a look-see. Didn't warn them, though, they'll figure it out ...

I took their word for it on the GTD thing. It even had the 'registered' glyph somewhere ;-)

This looks similar to BaseCamp. What does runway have to separate it out from the competition?

nooooooooo

That's not very constructive feedback. How about a hint?
dont make me wait for a confirmation email to use your web app
I have been hunting for a good GTD application which weaves seamlesslsy with your life ( Gmail in my case ). So far the only application I have been content with is RememberTheMilk. Check out it's integration with Gmail using the Firefox plugin.
It would be good to be able to try out your app before creating an account.

I want to quickly get a feel for it without going to the hassle of creating an account.

Yes, I know you have a screencast, but that's not what I want.

I would like to see a 'Try Me Out' button that gets me into the app an allows me to click on buttons etc. to see what they do.

edit: Oops, I missed the link to the demonstration. Maybe make it bigger.

I don't really see the great advantage of this over a simple task list. I've tried several GTD apps, and I eventually settled in to Google Calendar with Google Tasks loaded in the sidebar.

For those who care, Google tasks can be accessed directly here:

All this to-do app needs to do is integrate with twitter and provide url-shortening services...
I think this looks really cool and useful and I will probably give it a try. I don't know anything about GTD, but I use Ta-da Lists extensively and this looks like a nice step up for me. I would miss the ability to share my lists with others, but I could live with that. Handling text input intelligently is very nice.

The audio on the demo video is terrible. I had to crank the volume on my PC to make it out. I would consider re-recording it, and getting some help from someone who knows how to record sound.

Please make an option to switch between European and American style dates...I would use this if I didn't have to consciously think about the dates I'm typing in to make sure they're in the correct format
I really like the concept of Today/Soon/Later. It's very similar to the Today/Soon/Whenever sections on my app http://untodos.com

I wish they had made this app last year so I wouldn't have spent time on creating my app (and could just send them feature requests instead :-P). None of the old todo list apps made it easy to move tasks around so good job to the developers on that. I keep my app extremely minimalist because all I want to see are my tasks but I love this interface a lot. Good job!

Didn't work for me when I tried to sign up
