Hey guys,

Whilst I'm in the mist of creating Tag 2 (which, by the way, is looking very interesting ), I decided to create Y.A.T.D.A (Yet another to-do app). Basically, I know there are many others of these out there (mostly so Burnout Menu). But I just feel those out there, they don't work how I want, and just feel like a chore to add items and manage your to-do items, and the UI always seems too cluttered and over-complicated.

My inspiration for this new application (named Slacker) is NewsFire, whilst it may not be the most feature packed app, its user interface cannot be beat and seems to have gained a big chunk of users from other, more feature-full apps.

My other inspiration for the application was from a user on this forum in the Burnout Menu thread, he said about having the list pop up every so often, reminding you of your to-do's. So basically, I will make this and add it into a bezel like UI.

Basically, I don't want to waste my time, and I was just wondering what the consensus was about making this application. If I did make it, I'd probably either make it free, or sell it for like $5.99 or so.

Here are some screenshots to give you a better idea on the UI:

Thanks,
Oliver

But if you do make it, there's no apostrophe in "To-dos". Could be nice though.

Actually, you might be interested in helping out with the development of Checkoff over on sourceforge.
