Seems like the common thread here is to 'start a web app, charge a recurring fee'...
Any suggestions for such an app that people here would find useful and willing to pay, say, $10 a month for, that would be small enough to be developed by one guy? I can't think of any ideas off the top of my head.
My best idea in this vein is a multi-user todo list for small companies, where people can assign todos to each other, and mark their own todos as depending on someone else. That way you could always see what you need to get done, that isn't being blocked by someone else.
A year or so ago I stopped using RTM because the web interface became so buggy and slow that that it wouldn't load half of my lists. I let my Pro account expire. I was really impressed with the tool originally; hopefully they've fixed those issues. I've been doing fine with a plain text file since then.
I honestly think there's always room for another good todo app. Different workflow/interfaces click with different people.
2 days ago I registered A website for my new todo list concept, and I got it set up a few hours ago. Just need to get adsense and my dns set up better and I'll be ready to roll with an MVP... ToDoWiki.com
gmail tasks is way too one-dimensional. workflowy is cool, the closest i've seen to an idea i've had in my back pocket for some time, so thanks for the tip and i'll try them out. however, no mobile client.
Lack of mobile client drives me nuts, but I love Workflowy. It's my meeting note-taking notepad, my to-do list, my scratchpad, and about a half dozen other things. Absolutely indispensable.
