Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

A couple of days ago, Voo2do was migrated to a new, faster server. While I hoped the new server would improve performance for everyone, it’s been a bumpier ride than I expected. Although the response to the speedup has been quite positive, a few users have sufferred because something is amiss in the […]

New server!

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

Voo2do has been moved to a faster, more powerful server. I initially thought the transition was smooth but quickly discovered and fixed a couple of problems (details below). Everything should be running correctly now, so if you notice any possible problems, please email me at shimon@rura.org or call me at +1 857.928.3028.

Is Voo2do Slow?

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Voo2do has been growing fast lately, and more people are writing to me with suggestions and requests. One request is getting more and more common: could you make it faster?
In my personal use of voo2do, I haven’t found it too annoyingly slow, except when saving changes to a large list of tasks. But […]

Features in Progress

New competitor! Remember the Milk is yet another to-do list manager with lots of Ajax interface tricks. I have to say though, I’ve found the navigation flow to be somewhat confusing. To do anything, you have to select a task, then click somewhere on the top or right side of the window […]
