Features

Explore the tools and benefits that make TODO:ID the trusted registry for releases and products.

Key Features

Company-Friendly Submissions

Companies can submit a short, structured release snippet (10 – 15 lines) directly to todoid.com.

Get Started Quickly

Start assigning IDs within minutes. It is designed to be simple, intuitive, and instantly useful.

Application Technology

Built on Java with server-rendered delivery, running on AWS infrastructure for scalability and resilience. Pages stay highly indexable for search engines and optimized for visibility.

Uses a dual-mode architecture combining relational databases with dynamic JSON pages. This approach keeps data structured yet flexible, enabling smooth interaction across databases, APIs, and applications.

Designed for integration with enterprise software, ERPs, and cloud platforms. Standardized APIs and metadata streamline connectivity and reduce onboarding effort.

Optimized for speed and reliability, supporting fast search, low-latency operations, large datasets, and continuous 24/7 workloads.

Unique IDs with Structured Metadata

New tools, products, and releases appear every single day. Professionals publish and track them in different ways, often scattered across platforms.

Now imagine this: every product or release is assigned a unique ID along with deep, structured metadata that appears in search engines within a day. Just like a company’s product code, this permanent identifier provides a reliable reference to release data across the web.

That’s not tomorrow’s idea – that’s what we do today.

This ID isn’t just a random number – it’s a permanent reference that can be used in reports, research papers, AI models, and search engines. You can request a specific number if needed

Think of it like an ISBN for books or a DOI for scientific articles, but designed specifically as an online identifier for software, hardware, and professional tools.

The key difference? These IDs appear quickly, last forever, and are accessible worldwide. That small string of text becomes a universal anchor point: permanent, unambiguous, and trusted.

When you see an ID like todoid:35000, you know you’re looking at a verified product entry. Machines use this tag, and humans can share it or link to it on the web, for example: todoid.com/1.3.35000.

No captchas. No filters. No cluttered design. Just pure, fast release data.

Why Unique IDs Matter

With todoid's IDs, these problems disappear. No matter what the marketing name is, the ID always points to the same verified product or release.

The Role of Structured Metadata

Each page on todoid.com also includes structured metadata – built not only for humans but also for machines. Using standards like HTML microdata, JSON-LD, and Schema.org, search engines and AI tools can instantly process and contextualize the information.

Also can for Hardware

todoid.com IDs can describe not only software.
They can also describe hardware products and service organizations in the same structured way.

Example: Universal Long-Life Battery


{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Product",
  "@id": "https://todoid.com/id/8.3.45210",
  "identifier": "todoid:8.3.45210",
  "name": "Universal Long-Life Battery",
  "description": "High-capacity rechargeable battery with 10-year lifespan.",
  "model": "ULB-2025",
  "releaseDate": "2025-06-15"
}

Introduction to data-todoid

todoid.com defines and uses the in-house metadata attribute data-todoid="" as a unique part of its markup system.

It is the primary container attribute assigned to every listing. It provides a stable, machine-readable handle that uniquely anchors the element in the DOM.

In addition to its role as a DOM attribute, data-todoid can also be expressed in Schema.org markup. By using the identifier property with a PropertyValue type, each listing can expose its data-todoid in a standards-compliant way. This ensures search engines, AI systems, and external applications can recognize the ID as a permanent reference, while still allowing humans and scripts to access it directly in the HTML attribute.

Unlike descriptive text or visual labels, the data-todoid value is consistent and predictable, making it the foundation for internal processing, automated testing, and cross-system integration.

In programming terms, data-todoid behaves like an argument – a simple, predictable value passed into the DOM that can be read by scripts, functions, or external systems for further processing. It is extremely well-recognized and always single-meaning, ensuring there is never confusion about what entity the ID refers to.

Example: side-by-side usage (for todoid.com listings only)


<!-- In HTML DOM (todoid.com listing) -->

    <section itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Product"
    data-todoid="todoid:1.3.35000">
        <h1 itemprop="name">Power Tools for Google Sheets</h1>
        <p itemprop="description">Suite of 40+ tools to manage data in Google Sheets.</p>
    </section>

<!-- In JSON-LD Schema.org (parallel representation) -->

    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "Product",
      "name": "Power Tools for Google Sheets",
      "identifier": {
        "@type": "PropertyValue",
        "propertyID": "data-todoid",
        "value": "todoid:1.3.35000"
      },
      "description": "Suite of 40+ tools to manage data in Google Sheets."
    }

Note:
We do not mix or merge data-todoid with Schema.org tags, and it is not a mimic or replacement of them.
It exists only as our internal attribute, used alongside structured data – never blended into it.
This way, the ID stays simple, predictable, and uniquely tied to todoid.com.

Promote and Compare with Ease

Every product, release, or company on todoid.com is assigned a permanent ID, such as todoid:1.3.200501. This ID acts as a global reference point. Instead of sharing long descriptions or potentially inconsistent brand names, you simply copy the ID and paste it into your document, report, or query.

The result? Clarity. Everyone – from a researcher in Europe to a journalist in Asia – knows exactly which release you are referencing. No confusion, no ambiguity.

Effortless Promotion

For companies, promoting a product means more than press releases. By embedding your todoid's ID in presentations, case studies, or media coverage, you ensure that your release is always linked to a trusted, verifiable record. Even years later, anyone can follow that ID back to your official, structured page.

Smarter Comparisons

Comparison is at the heart of decision-making. Whether it’s investors evaluating two competing technologies or AI systems analyzing market trends, todoid's IDs make side-by-side product comparisons simple and reliable.

Instead of hunting through scattered announcements or conflicting blog posts, a single prompt is enough:

Prompt: Compare todoid:1.3.200501 vs todoid:1.3.350088

In seconds, analysts and AI tools can pull structured data on both products – their versions, release dates, categories, and verified details – and present them in a clear comparison.

Benefits for Professionals and AI

In web business, successful product promotion relies on structured metadata, providing clarity and consistency instead of scattered information.

Use Cases in Action

Beyond Comparison: Market Visibility

Embedding IDs in reports and documents also helps with discoverability. Search engines, AI models, and data aggregators pick up the structured metadata linked to those IDs. That means your product isn’t just visible today – it becomes part of the permanent knowledge graph tomorrow.

This builds credibility and ensures your releases can be referenced in future research, market analysis, or AI-driven insights.

Why It Matters

Inconsistent data creates inefficiencies, wasted time, and missed opportunities. Eliminate these risks by giving you a simple but powerful tool: a unique ID that promotes your release and enables accurate comparisons anywhere, anytime.

Whether you’re a startup introducing your first product or an established company managing dozens of releases, IDs ensure your story is clear, consistent, and easy to compare.
