In December 2008 I decided it was time to get my life organized - really organized. I've always used lists to manage my life, but the notepads scattered around the house and at work were just that....scattered, and never in the right place when I needed them. It was time to move my lists online, to the "cloud." After sampling many to-do applications on the web I reached a couple conclusions: the apps were all too difficult to use, with too many features and not intuitive; every app required me to register to use it, and I loathe registering for stuff online.
So I decided I would build a new online task management app with two main goals:
Since the initial beta launch in January 2009 GQueues has grown as a product based on feedback from the community of GQueues users. With every new feature to add though, I strive to make the app more powerful while still remaining simple. Most importantly, I believe listening to users will always keep GQueues moving in the right direction.
While GQueues attempts to offer seamless integration with several Google products, it is not owned or developed by Google. GQueues is built on the Google App Engine™ platform and integrates with your existing Google account using the Google Accounts API™ product or your Google Apps account following the OpenID protocol. GQueues does NOT have access to, nor store your Google or Google Apps account password. The content of GQueues is stored and secured on Google servers as provided by the Google App Engine™ platform. Integration with Google Calendar and Google Contacts is achieved using the Google Data APIs and only works once you have authorized GQueues to access these products.
GQueues Lite is available free of charge for anyone to use. However, if you wish enjoy all the features of GQueues you should purchase a subscription.
