I searched through the many list things out there, and none of them gave me the flexibility I wanted. This is something I wrote for myself, and I decided to make it something everyone can use.
Most other list apps are one-dimensional. You have a shopping list and a to-do list. This is a tree that lets you make lists of lists of lists. You can put your entire life into your Simplist and it won't be overwhelming or difficult to manage. My Simplist is seven layers deep in some places, which I didn't even realize until I counted.
If you're the only person behind simplist, why are you referring to yourself as "we" throughout the site?
Along those same lines, I'm not sure how this qualifies as a start-up as such. It's nifty side project, but it would do you better to present the thing you've created in an honest way.
I guess that's the real problem here: people assume this is a to-do list. It's a tree that can contain any type of list. Do I need to make that more clear in the docs?
I use it for everything--to-dos, favorites, projects, priorities, packing lists, shopping lists...
You can make any kind of list with tadalist as well, and the interface is much cleaner. You could argue that yours has more features, but to me, they're just unnecessary clutter. I don't want to have to guess at what your little icons represent when my needs are so uncomplicated. All I want is someplace online where I can put lists of text. I like what you've written, but none of it would compel me to use it over tadalist or other established sites.

Another question would be - why would you want your shopping list inside a to-do list?
(www.protopage.com has great to-do list functionality)
