About the team behind lis.to
We were, well, annoyed of by the lack of a decent task-manager, the way we wanted it. Our background
being
webservices this is our first venture into 'old-school' software development.
But then, there is always the sync service, which is SAS (software as a service) enough! If you like your software cooked in the same way we do you'll like lis.to. It might not be for everybody:
- We want things fast, mostly mouse-based data entry and high-latency web clients are a no-go for us.
- We want things small, one simple tool for one task (ask the *nix geeks), no bloatware etc. We might even consider Java somewhat heavy-weight, but for a cross-plattform app like the lis.to desktop client there really was no other choice.
- We want things clean, not having to 'spray' files all over your filesystem is important for us - we want to be able to 'uninstall' software by deleting a folder!
- We want access everywhere, different platforms all over the place! Mac at home, MS at work - Linux in the closet and iPhone on the go - we need software that works everywhere, natively (no web clients, thanks!).
- We want things open – information wants to be free. XML based data storage, open-source clients - it can't be more open than that. No lock-in, no traps, no nothing!
So this is us, Tom and Mathias, if you like what we like, give it a spin (download here). Drop by, have a chat with us (just use the meebo applet to the right) or a coffee, we are based in beautiful Freiburg, Germany .
