I am creating a task list system in Javascript, I am not sure how I should be managing a persons task list. I am contemplating if I should store the list data locally on their computer, make it IP based so the server knows which data to give to who and I have thought about a user account system, but that seems a bit overkill for my requirements.

My suggestion, keep it local and if you want to later, add a sync option for mobile devices later.

Storing it locally via local storage would be easiest, and reduce server load. I would also recommend allowing the user to save it as a JSON or similar format file.

An import and export feature would also be nice. I believe there is a kind-of global file type for tasks in mobile phones. Oh, and CC integration of course (maybe later via server storage) :P/>.

Thanks for the great suggestions, I will definetly be saving the files locally in JSON format. But I still am going to incorporate a sync-like feature where you can download task lists via a 5 character code you're given. But this won't be default, I will implement a "share" button or something similar.
