Really like the idea! The only complaint I have from initially using it is that the workflow is a little confusing / convoluted. I think it might be a good idea to limit the use of the modals to 1 or 2 UI interactions. Just an overall sense of progression through the various application states would be great (think simple like breadcrumbs). Good start!
Sound great. Many Trello users (including me) are dreaming about this. However I was quite confused while using your app and several times just thought it doesn't work. Here's what I did:
1. Opened the site on Android's Chrome and signed in.
2. Clicked the "create/open a board" button, but nothing happened.
3. Opened the site on Windows Chrome - couldn't sign in util I closed the site on my mobile.
4. After clicking the "create/open a board" button, I expected to be taken to the freshly created board and was surprised that I had to click the "+" to create it. I suggest separating the create and open actions.
5. After clicking the "+" I expected (yeah, again :) to be taken to the board. I suggest removing this additional click and creating some animated indicator that the board is being created becuase it takes few seconds and I wasn't sure what is happening. The same applies later when I use the "Boards" link to switch between the boards. As the modal doesn't close after clicking one the "Boards" there's no visual feedback that anything happened.
Generally speaking there's a lot of room for UX improvement. I understand that you've created that app for yourself, but for a first time user a lot of things isn't as clear as for you. Some more observations:
1. Provide some tooltips. It took me few seconds too much to figure out that All/Incomplete/Complete are filters not a bulk actions buttons.
2. Why there's "Delete mode" instead of delete buttons?
3. I think that the task should be automatically moved to "Doing" if I start working on one of the subtasks.
4. The most important part When I changed the time settings and clicked the provided "Refresh" link, all previously entered tasks disappeared (but the boards remained).
Hope you'll find it useful. In case you'll continue developing the project, please consider IFTTT an Zapier integrations.
Thanks for the feedback! I plan to address everything you listed. A few things were already in my list of things to do (the irony...)
I didn't pay any attention to mobile so that may be on the back burner for now until I clean up some of these UX issues. Was completely making it for myself at the time keeping it super minimal and forgot to add help text/tooltips.
Also plan make the repo public on github, would make life easier.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 22.3 ms ] threadWeekend project used to help me keep focus on my side projects (the irony). Looking for some feedback before I rollout the second iteration.
