The focus is on time based tasks right now, my idea is automatically building tasks by finding and extracting times. At launch it'll probably be a case of copy/paste emails in and get tasks added; the obvious next step being adding by forwarding an email. I'd almost be in a position to get a demo working if it weren't for exams :)
Not so obvious to me. Consider browser plugins, desktop application (e.g. Outlook) plugins, letting users grant your service access to their online email, etc.
You're definitely right that there are other options, and I'll be reconsidering that approach closer to the time based on what's easiest/most important for actual users. Thanks for the comment :)
