"Love the simplicity, wish I could do more. Maybe that's not what you're going for - in which case, awesome!"

Thanks! That the idea, at least for now. It used to have GTD-style context and various other features, but I almost never used them personally, so I gradually removed them. I'm open to more advanced features though, as long as I have real-world use cases to back them up.

"Third Notes: Your feedback logo is missing from the first page, just has the link. Intentional?" Yes, I admit there's not much rational reason for it, I just don't feel like duplicates.

"Also, when I want to delete something, I would want something better than a "pop up" asking me if I wanted to delete it - a bit obtrusive. Better to have a fade out or something clever."

It was like that once, but on some occasions I accidentally removed tasks when I was dragging and fiddling around. Then I realized deletion is a fairly rare operation, most of the time I just mark tasks as complete, so I thought a prompt strikes a good balance. I guess I could make it more ajaxy. :)

"the shades of grey kind of mask the tasks etc and don't quite pop out in a way that makes it skimmable."

I'm trying to figure out a good colour as well. The tasks used to be a darker grey with white text, which had much more contrast. Maybe I should go back to that. I kinda chose the easier colour transitions for aesthetic reasons.
