Superlist is the New Wunderlist, After Microsoft Killed the Original

Wunderlist, a beloved to-do app known for its delightful design, was acquired by Microsoft in 2015 and discontinued years later. Now Wunderlist co-founder Christian Reber -- who apparently attempted to buy back Wunderlist to no luck -- has launched Superlist to revive its spirit. The new app focuses on centralized project management by compiling tasks, notes, files and more into shareable lists. It then automatically organizes tasks into a daily agenda.

Superlist starts at $8 a month, but offers "uinlimited tasks, notes, and reminders, and unlimited private lists" for individuals at no cost.

Selling out turned out to be a mistake.

For whom? Not likely for the person who got a lot of money.

But does it have AI?

If they said, "uses AI to compile tasks, notes, files and more into shareable lists. It then automatically organizes tasks into a daily agenda, using AI" then this article would have been much better.

It's the first in the list of their buzzwordy features... Superpowers even...

Everything a team needs:

• AI Superpowers
• Offline mode
• Collaboration
• Real time
• Repeating tasks
• Tasks via email
• Reminders
• Infinite depth
• Multiplatform
• Private & secure
• Fast AF

AI Superpowers: API calls to openai or cheaper imitation
Offline mode: we let you see your data even without telemetry! (some of it, for a while, maybe; terms subject to change)
Collaboration: iâ(TM)d fucking hope so
Real time: iâ(TM)d fucking hope so
Repeating tasks: iâ(TM)d fucking hope so
Tasks via email: iâ(TM)d fucking hope so
Reminders: iâ(TM)d fucking hope so
Infinite depth: our UI doesnâ(TM)t arbitrarily limit your searches (for now, terms subject to change)
Multiplatform: it

Fast autofocus is old news, the question is can it do focus tracking during videos?

That's what we're talking about, right? Auto Focus? Though it's weird they'd mention that without mentioning camera access.

Dime a dozen

[Himmy32]

To Do Lists are dime a dozen [todomvc.com].

What's hard is keeping up with all the app stores, weird devices like watches, integrations against all the flavors of other systems, notification APIs, supporting all the weird features like kanban boards, and all while having a consistent interface across all of them.

Wunderlist had a user interface that more or less stayed out of your way. Every one of these things forces you to work in the way the application author intends.

Software is not a commodity.

Not only that, but they probably date back to the use of clay tablets. So SooperDooperMegaList is... a list. OK, it's electronic rather than pencil and paper, but it's still a list. Why would I pay each month for this?

You can use a better tool or adapt to the default

My wife and I have opposite philosophies. She has downloaded EVERY productivity tool on the planet, including 20 different TODO lists. I use Apple's Reminders and have adapted to them. Honestly, it's not a great TODO list, but it works. It works with Siri. It has working notifications and syncs across my watch, iPad, and laptop. I can even share tasks with family members for free...although, to be honest, NO ONE has ever read them and cared.

I've just adapted to the default and know Apple will supp

I think that's just your ego talking.

Whoâ(TM)s to say sheâ(TM)s still not looking?

The useage of the word wife make it seem like she settled.

I can't wait

[peterww]

for Google to buy Superlist and kill it too. Can't say there's a monopoly if there's *two* giant corporations killing all the small ones.

Are people really willing to pay for this? Because it's pretty easy to do with e.g. Drupal. Or I bet even Wordpress, but don't.

Having tried to roll my own journaling and task management system in both Drupal and Wordpress: yes, anything is possible in those tools, but clunkily. If you want a smooth experience, a purpose-built tool will beat those two hands down for anything except their intended purpose of blogging.

I would not recommend those two again unless what you're trying to create really doesn't exist and you're OK with a subpar implementation for the benefit of not having to write code.

Re:

Get better at Drupal.

Accept the need to write a little code to achieve some goals.

I can mostly steal what I need from other modules...
