Would love to see the ability to filter for items using this criteria: 1) Due Date = Due Within X Days , OR 2) Due Date = No Due Date.

Currently, I can do one or the other, but not both. Rationale: using GTD methodology, I only want to see those action items that I can work on today, thus all that are due and all that have no set due date. Said differently, the only items I don't want to see are those with due dates in the future.

Implementation suggestion: add a checkbox to the "Dates" portion of Filter settings that says, "also include items with no due date"

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree the filter capabilities could use some improvement and we will keep this in mind for future updates.

The same applies to StartDate-based filtering.

Yes, please -- I was going to request this feature. When planning my day I often add quick little todos which need to be done soon, but not necessarily today -- this week sometime. If I assign today's date they tend to crowd out items which are truly date specific. I'd very much like to see a filter that captures these items as well as those I may have scheduled 6 months ago which have a "due-on-date" due date of this week.
