Chrome extension for Google Tasks

Google recently released a long-awaited API for Tasks.  They also immediately made available, code and all, an extension for Chrome that lets you access Tasks via a toolbar button.  This is great news for people who use Tasks.  (Previously, you'd have to have Tasks open in a window or tab, or access it via Gmail.)

A particularly cool feature of the extension is that you can add a task in two interesting ways:
  1. you can just type t your new task in the Omnibar, no matter what web page you're on, and the task will be created; or
  2. you can highlight text on any web page, right-click, and add that text to a new task.
This is good news for minimalists like me.  I'm going to have to seriously reconsider Tasks for my own task management system.
