Hi Bertrand,

nice demo! I like it. My opinions:

Could you align tags to the left? Tags are important feature to 
understand the title and the concept of task. It would be better to have 
it in the same place: title + tags + title preview on the left side and 
dates stuff on the right

What about showing also tags without color in the list of tags? Having a 
tag without background should be enough. Tags are represented now by 
their color and name. Why not show them there as well?

Toolbar is very experimental and it doesn't feel like GTG.

What about making search "invisible"? Instead of the permanent search 
toolbar, you would have a temporal seach toolbar like in firefox. It 
could work this way:
  * you can show it using Control-F
  * or when you start typing and the task list widget has the focus

The initial text of the search toolbar would be the current applied 
tags, i.e. if you are already in tag @school and press n the toolbar is 
shown with the initial query "@schol n". On this toolbar, there might be 
a button to save the current search as a smart tag/saved search.

It might be nice to have a feature like that which behaves in similar 
way in firefox.

Why did you move the WorkView button from the main toolbar to this new 
one? It shouldn't really matter because it's on the plan to redesign it :)

I think, we should go with "smart" sorting where your tasks are sorted 
by default by their urgency and you can rearrange them as you want. I 
have some algorithm in mind and would like to work on that feature in 
the following development cycle.

Can't wait to start merging your awesome prototype :)

Izidor
