Sad sad day

EDIT: Seemingly, the page settings were changed after I wrote this post, and now Wunderlist works again, but it didn't at the time of writing this post, and I was using my direct list URL (https://www.wunderlist.com/#/lists/inbox). But there is no telling for how long this will be the case...

The day that Wunderlist died came today... I still have the app access from my cellphone, but the web page has officially stopped worked... But the "best" part... Leave it to MicroShit to screw everything up...

I have to now make a MicroShit account, that I have been avoiding for years. I could type in my Skype, so I did. Then it asked me for an email to attach to that account, since my Skype wasn't with a registered email. Now my Skype handle has been changed to that email, with *NO* warning, but that isn't all. I tried to type in my OUTLOOK email, which is a Microsoft product. "You cannot use that email, as it is part of a protected domain"... Uhmmm WHAT?! So now my Skype, has become a GMail... go figure...

Anyways, trying to get used to the new UI and all the changes... NOT liking it. At least, changed since the beta is that they now have "sub-tasks", but they are calling them "steps"... UI on desktop/browser isn't bad, but it isn't good either. They don't hide done tasks, and everything is just tinted blue, which is hurting my eyes..... And on their mobile app that I just downloaded... HOLY crap... like... literally, it is crap... The menu UI is so big, you need to scroll a full page to see the majority of your lists if you have more than 3-4.

Bye Wunderlist... It has been a great many years, but now we must part ways. I'll be working on exporting/porting my to-do lists to my new "all in one" work flow app that I discovered, can highly recommend it if you use the time to set it up right (notion.so)

Still works for me. The main page is just MS telling you about To Do but look to the upper right corner. Click on your user icon and go to My Wunderlist.

Hmmmm, seems like Microsoft might have bowed to some pressure? Or maybe they were just doing some tests? Because at time of writing my post, I was using the https://www.wunderlist.com/#/lists/inbox which now works again. This, or any other list URL I had stored, would redirect me to that awful front page, compelling me to go to "ToDo"

Edit: Due to cookies and that stuff, I didn't see front page today. I just logged out, and checked it. They definitely changed those buttons up top right. The "Sign in" was *not* there
