I would like a tool that helps me manage my goals and my tasks, as well as information relevant to them.
It could be something like a hierarchical list: supergoals would be at the top, subgoals would inherit from some supergoal, and tasks (things to do now) would be at the bottom, inheriting from some subgoal. Additionally, each (super/sub)goal could have attached information concerning achievement criteria, possible strategies, current strategy, etc. My hope is that this system helps me keep my tasks connected to my goals and aids me in becoming more strategic.
I’m currently using Google Tasks for the hierarchical list part, but there isn’t a nice way to integrate relevant information. I haven’t looked into it much yet but Goalbot might be a step in this direction.
There’s a lot of tools out there for task / goal tracking. I’d suggest spending some time researching them before thinking about developing a new one. Beware of falling into the trap of chasing after the elusive perfect system rather than just getting in the habit of using something good enough.
I quite like remember the milk but my main problem is still the whole getting into the habit of using it consistently part. It’s pretty flexible in terms of attaching extra information to items. It’s not hierarchical but I suspect that’s overrated anyway. It does support a very flexible tagging and ‘smart lists’ system which is better than a hierarchy in some ways.

I would be happy to donate money for development.
