grit VS todo.txt-cli

This is cool, but the killer feature I'm looking for is a UI to accomplish the functionality of grit https://github.com/climech/grit. Grit itself isn't particularly functional, but its write-up in the readme hasn't been fully realized by any task tracking software (as far as I'm aware).

*

By specifying order through indentation, we've now created a DAG for what needs to be done, in what order, with the most actionable tasks having the largest indentation. This is how I organize my plaintext to-do files, but afaict no todo list software is able to handle this gracefully- with the exception of grit, which is more of an experiment (but the readme is incredibly well written and describes DAG problem to a tee).

Does anyone know if org-mode handles complex trees? All the examples I've found online were trivial (i.e. one task deep)

Seems like it uses sqlite. Presumably it's trivial to sync using whatever file sync tool you want (Dropbox, or whatever) as long as you're fine without concurrent editing. For that you'd need application support or a more amenable data structure.

FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.

todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

http://todotxt.org/

And of course pretty much all of *nix.

Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!

That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.

The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.

Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.
