idyll's Issues

Support OAuth2 Logins

Two parts: Add OAuth2 login support to the main application. Add the ability to login, using OAuth2, to a third party service (including the main application).

Download all task data and store in local storage

Right now we only download that data on request, we should be proactive about this.

Move HTML/CSS/JS Into New Repo: idyll-app

Right now we're loading all of this from a dynamic app, there's no need for this. We should move it all to a static entity. This could turn into a mobile app.

We may have to figure out how to serve this while still maintaining session state.

Create PhoneGap App that wraps HTML/CSS/JS

Depends upon #1, should be usable as a standalone application.

Stop using browser sessions

We use sessions to store user state, but we should find another way to store it. This may be the result of logging in using OAuth2 or something.
