kyle_v··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Trello?
I built a todo app that might interest you. It lets you nest todo items to any arbitrary level as I preferred it to the flatter trello structure especially when working with software projects that are very heirarchical in nature. It just stores data in local storage but you could easily mod it to import export json. Also has IDE inspired keyboard shortcuts for traversing the list. If you’re interested you can have the code it’s on my github.

kyle_v··on Lehigh research team to investigate a “Google for research data”
Suprised no one has mentioned google scholar, the solution already exists. Not to mention google by itself is already a pretty great research tool if you know what you're looking for. You can even search by file type e.g. "cure for cancer filetype: pdf"
