Lovely extension. Does the job. Nice and simple. Almost perfect. Few issues though. Would be great if this gets fixed: - Does not retain new lines in task description - There should be an archive option too. Right now the only option is to delete completed tasks and there is no way to get it back - A sync option with google account would be awesome

Its a todo app in browser. I would like to add link of websites in todo list. So, by clicking on the task, new tab opens up for the that. would be appreciable feature. Overall good experience.

Really wanted to like it, but couldn't get it to save my items or layout. So every time I load the browser, it lost all settings and todos. Otherwise, it's beautiful and would have been super helpful. Almost perfect. :(
