I like TyperTask a lot, thanks for submitting.

However, I thought a TyperTask-like app with online sync feature would be great - that is, the config file should by synced across computers so that always an up-to-date config would be at hand. Does anyone know such a tool?

As an alternative solution could be running TyperTask from the Dropbox folder but if TT runs before Dropbox has finished syncing the config file might be overwritten with older version.

Never mind, I found a workaround which seems to work well. I've put TyperTask to my Dropbox Public folder and made a launcher which downloads the config file to this Public folder, and only then launches TyperTask itself. This ensures that always an up-to-date config file is available. Because when I modify my config from within TyperTask, changes are written to disk and so Dropbox uploads the new version immediately.

Downloading the config file though that's already synced may sound weird but I found no other way to find out whether a file is updated by Dropbox or not.
