One of the main problems I have when working is constantly switching between different things I have to do. I can't multitask well - context switching kills my productivity. So I made this dead simple task list app which more accurately mirrors how I (want to) think! The idea is a to-do list app based on a queue. You can put tasks into the back of the queue, and you can only deal with the task that's at the front of the queue - you work on one task at a time. After a couple days of using it, I've noticed that I get a lot more done, but most interestingly I feel less stressed when working. I'd love to hear first impressions and feature requests!

Did you used to have zenlist.co? I wish this were web-based. It seems like it used to be.

@vacord no, I don't own that - I'm considering making a web client if that would be helpful. I definitely personally would love to add webhook functionality / an API at the very least.

@schmatz Yeah, I honestly don't want to use a to do list on my phone. my tasks lists are based in Trello and I also work with a legal pad all day, writing things down and crossing them off. But a web-based zenlist interests me, and also if there was something sort of like a hellobar that could sit at the top of my mac screen saying my current task, perhaps with a pomodoro timer, that would be awesome for me. Just some input.

@vacord I think I might integrate it with Firebase or something similar so you can have realtime sync across devices. Also a Pomodoro timer is the most requested feature so I'm going to add that soon. Thanks for the input!

@arimnazir damnit. I don't need another to-do list app, particularly not one of the "one thing at a time genre," but I accidentally clicked on the developers website link in the App Store and he's a Michigander. Yes, that's what we call ourselves in Michigan. So, in support of the home team or something, snagged the app!

@andym_dc @arimnazir Michigan family here! I'm not surprised though, Steven likes to go from "what do you think of this" to "here I made this" in 2 days. Awesome app :)
