> yes, all important things for those of you that speak Spanish or Portuguese

What do they mean by that?



I'm Brazilian and needed a few seconds to understand what they meant. I kept reading it like to-do(s). In the end they're just playing with the word:

Thank you for making me click. That's such a bad pun.

(I'm Brazilian too)


I'm sorry, I thought it was hilarious.

We wanted to acknowledge some people's frustrations with our chosen way of writing Todos.


It's a Spanish/English pun.

Todos means "all" in Spanish, so "all important things"

But also Todos as in multiple Todo items.


>Not only have we increased performance for everyone, getting to what is important is now super quick with Todos

todos means all/everything in Spanish and Portuguese.
