Yep. I open sourced mine after coming to the conclusion that these things are basically a commodity and aren't going anywhere in terms of making money.
I was excited for the twitter integration until I tried to figure out how it worked and was met with "email us because regular people are not worthy" note on the blog. Not helpful. Is it that much work to write a blog post explaining how it works and then link it next to the twitter setup field in the preferences?
Came here to mention those two points. Excellent job. FYI though, the big image above the sign up and tour buttons didn't appear until I disabled Safari AdBlock.
"What sets this apart?" Right now I do agree with this statement and it definitely needs to be addressed. Do you (or anyone) have any needs that aren't currently addressed by other to-do list applications?
I want what sets this apart to be something that is actually useful (instead of a neat looking but pointless gimmick).
Sorry, but I would never start a project without answering this question. The design is nice. Unfortunately "What sets this apart?" is my question #1 when I look at a webapp. I don't care if it's ugly as sin, I can always use stylish to pretty it up. I want it to somehow make my life easier.

Two main positives:
* The interface is incredibly slick
* The API looks solid
My big question is, what sets this apart?
It definitely looks nice, but like qhoxie says, I don't see anything extremely compelling about this vs. the dozens of other list sites out there.
No nested items, no syncing, what is the real advantage to using this over using Remember the Milk or something else?
You don't need a ton of killer features to differentiate it, but one is a minimum.
There are quite a few of these aren't there?
