Wow... Name: To-Do Logo: Checkmark... I guess corporate b.s. definitely kicked in... WL: "Let's do something bold!" -> MS: "Let's play it safe", WL: "Let's design something that people remember" -> MS: "Let's do something that other people are doing", WL:"Let's create an icon that stands out in the App/Play Store" -> MS: "Let's do something people already understand" It's a shame how such a remarkable design as Wunderlist just got thrown in the dump for a design that I have seen 100x on Dribbble. Come on Wunderlist team, where are the balls to fight for something you believe in? Sorry for the rant - but let's be serious here. For a German startup, you even got in the minds of so many US users, your icon is even used in the PH onboarding when it comes to "productivity". I loved Wunderlist for sticking to its guns. Sure you have to become more fluid with the "design language" of Microsoft. 'Make it personal' and 'create delight' are the "principles"... Guess those flew out the window at meeting 27. p.s. I do love the WL team for creating something so beautiful simple years ago. So kudos to that team.

@bjorn_bakker Do you think the textures and skeuomorphisms + drop shadows were getting a bit long in the tooth, though?
Björn Bakker
@lyondhur haha no there is no nice way to say it... :P
Björn Bakker
Where are the downvotes when you need them @nivo0o0?
Björn Bakker
@weiluenhuang you know what I find so funny. Most designers don't design for their users, they design for other designers (I actually think I just stole that quote from Ogilvy). Do I think it should have been untouched for years to come — absolutely not! However, to become oblivious with an almost stock-like experience... Nobody wants to be that, right? I still find most peace of mind with 400+ books around me - not in some hipsterish trendy café, where people are more concerned with their latest sneaker trend instead of the actual best coffee.

@bjorn_bakker agreed, hopefully the Wunderlist team will add some of the character back into the application as it evolves.

✅ Kill off Acompli (2015) ✅ Sunset Sunrise (2016) ✅ Destroy Wunderlist (2017)

@stuartmorrisau @tomfme it's already planned :/ unfortunatly
James Huang
@tomfme Idk, if this is entirely fair. Acompli is really just Outlook with a rename. Wunderlist team made a new app, that's an evolution of their older app. I was a bit sad to see Sunrise team decide to fold their app and add features into the core Outlook app, though :(
Brandon Hull
@weiluenhuang @tomfme I beg to differ on this app being an evolution of Wunderlist. As a Wunderlist power user, I think this app is a major disappointment. Requiring me to login, right out of the gates, with a Microsoft account, is strike one. An image with "My Day" taking up 40% of my mobile screen is strike two.
Jonathan Beddoes
@tomfme thought the same thing. Ridiculous isn't it! Shall we throw in Zune and Nokia? :)
tom meagher
@jonbeddoes Ha totally! As much as I hate Microsoft, there are a lot of companies that tank products they buy. Which is insane because you buy a product for: talent, users, and, well, the product.
Lisa Dziuba
Wunderlist!!??? No....😭😭😭
Stephanie M. Pratt
@lisadziuba I feel the same way! Guess I might have to switch back to todoist...
Kat Nguyen
@lisadziuba Tragic.
Evan Kimbrell
Yet another reason to use Todoist

What's next Microsoft? Alarm clock app? :D
Onur Senture
@itsnblackburn my mistake.
Product Pearson
All good, but to close down Wunderlist and force everyone to use this new app was a dick move.
Esteban Aravena
You can only use it with a Microsoft account 😄
Mike Fiorillo
@esbvn This was disappointing.
Gezim Hoxha
@esbvn *sigh* .. that's my top beef with this.
Jamie Martin
I wonder what this means for Wunderlist
Pravil
@livejamie Wunderlist will eventually be shut down as per MSFT. To-Do is being created by the same Wunderlist team but still there are a lot of Wunderlist features which are not ported to To-Do yet.
Topaz Tee
@pravilz @livejamie Why are they eventually shutting down wunderlist?
Thibault Milan
@livejamie read Wunderlist is planned for shutting down because just Todo can exist

@pravilz It's all set to run inside Office365 with subscription shite as always. To start, you need using a hotmail/live/outlook/O365 account, plus all the plans to kill and embed. It's the same as trying to fit a Ferrari into a frikking Renault 4L..
James Huang
@lyondhur @pravilz Actually it looks like you can use your Microsoft account, which means you could use an @gmail or whatever address. It doesn't look like it's a subscription offering either.
Juan Buis
so... where's the mac app?

@lyondhur This the moment where you say "Bugg Off.. I need to search another todo app in producthunt.

@lyondhur The enterprise customer is what keeps msft in business. All of their consumer products are now by definition considered malware/spyware. What they are doing is wrong with the data collection. Msft is so entrenched in both consumer/retail and enterprise that it's hard to continue to use this *crapware* without going to macOS or even linux, and unfortunately a mass-exodus from the win-ecosystem is damn near impossible. A crying shame in my opinion. The problem is that people either don't know they spy on you so much or they don't care (in favor of convenient-ism). If enough people cared and called them out on it, it wouldn't be happening.

@zajacm work, clients, advanced coding, tweaking, servers, etc.. sure. But the last time I had a Microsoft/Windows OS myself was.. never. -- and I saw Archimedes with my own eyes #notamillenial

@lyondhur Giddy up!
