Our date picker already supports similar queries: 60m, 1d, 2w, 12mon. You can even combine them, like `2w+3d`.

(I skipped n-10 because it doesn't support picking dates in the past.)

Thanks for sharing, it's interesting to learn about the medical shorthand regardless :)


FWIW there is a Godspeed iOS app. No watch support yet but it's on our list!


I never used Remember the Milk but FWIW you can assign numbered keyboard shortcuts for labels and make smart lists with those labels, so I think you could recreate that flow with Godspeed!


Thank you! Windows is on our roadmap, if you'd like you can drop your email address at the bottom of the page and we'll let you know when it's available. (We won't spam you with small product updates / marketing, just major updates like support for a new platform.)


We had some back and forth around getting the in-app purchase screen to meet Apple's requirements, but I'd say nothing out of the ordinary.


Yes! Super important feature that I'm realizing we never mention on the website, I'll have to add it. Thanks for bringing that to our attention :)


Unfortunately not. I can understand if that's a dealbreaker for you.

There are a few reasons we're not using iCloud: 1. We eventually intend to support other platforms, like Windows and the web. 2. Though they're admittedly rare, we've heard some iCloud horror stories. @DanielDe (OP) lost some files using iCloud Drive, so it's hard for us to trust it. 3. We wanted much tighter control over syncing to provide the particular experience we were aiming for. Things like live cursors for shared lists, and the way our offline experience works, are tightly tied into our sync engine.


Never had an issue with iCloud in at least 5 years, so I believe it is now probably ultra stable.

It is not necessarily a deal breaker, one can always just export/backup regularly.


> The big selling-point is responsive UI, but I feel that should be the minimum we expect from software.

Agreed! That's a big part of what motivated us to build Godspeed.

> Perhaps some testimonials from organisations/teams that have used it would be a better thing to lead with than a strange technical statement which most users won't understand. I'm a fairly technical sort of guy myself and I don't exactly know off the top of my head what 50ms latency feels like or how it compares to other note taking software.

Appreciate that feedback! Today is our 1.0 launch, we'll definitely add some testimonials in the coming weeks.

For what it's worth, a response time of 100ms is perceived as instantaneous [0].

We say "<50ms" rather than "instantaneous" because a lot of companies will claim that their software is fast and not actually meet a specific threshold. This claim keeps us from cutting corners – we're serious about keeping everything blazing fast, even if that means it takes longer to build.


> For what it's worth, a response time of 100ms is perceived as instantaneous

That's not true. From the source you cited:

> Increasing latency above 13 ms has an increasingly negative impact on human performance for a given task. While imperceptible at first, added latency continues to degrade a human’s processing ability until approaching 75 to 100 ms. Here we become very conscious that input has become too slow

The 100ms figure was in regard to conversational interactions with a computer.


Thanks! Windows, Android, and a web version are on the roadmap. If you'd like, you can drop your email address at the bottom of the page and we'll let you know when they're available. (We won't spam you with small product updates / marketing, just major updates like support for a new platform.)
