obsidian-tasks VS taskwarrior

Obsidian has a large collection of community-contributed plugins to serve various user needs. For this guide, we'll install Templater and Tasks, two plugins that can be really powerful when combined to create notes and task lists.

> Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown.

Aha. Which problems do you mean?

> Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content.

Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's a big NO for me since it's a closed silo.

This: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview works so wonderful for me, and it never breaks anything in my simple md files.

> Most plugins and features in that area are very brittle and overspecialized, working only well enough in their specific use case.

Aha. I don't think so. Which authority says that? And even if It's like that, my markdown files would survive everything, since they are a) in git. https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git and b) easy to fix since it's a text file. Gosh!

> And gosh, Obsidian has really a huge amount of plugins for data-handling.

And gosh, this is a good thing!

> At some point, it was so bad that there were multiple competing task-plugins which broke each other just because they had different formatting for dates.

Installing multiple task plugins shows that something is "broke" on the user side. It's not the fault of Markdown or Obsidian.

Just have a look on: https://github.com/ivan-lednev/obsidian-day-planner but you dont need a fancy task plugin like this, if you know your way around https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview or https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks

Since the Ecosystem around Obsidian and pure Markdown, most of the time I stay in my browser https://github.com/deathau/markdownload and nvim https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim

Here’s the plugin’s Github page and here’s the documentation

It’s simply called tasks

I suggest you have a look at the Tasks Plugin.

Would you be so kind as to make the date and time format compatible with https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks ?

Tasks plugin - https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks

A task manager tool that supports syncing with Taskwarrior.

Not much to say, it's a {https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior}(command line utility for task management) with a lot of features. I like it because I tend to spend more time on desktop than mobile, although there are a {https://github.com/bgregos/foreground}(couple) of {https://f-droid.org/es/packages/kvj.taskw/}(apps) for Android users. It allows synchronization between devices by setting up your own {https://taskwarrior.org/docs/taskserver/setup/}(taskserver) or using {https://inthe.am/}(third party tools).

I set out on this course with taskchampion-lib about three years ago. It quickly became clear that some tooling would help.

taskwarrior: Feature-rich command-line task manager.

Web-based tools and gui apps are just too high friction for my work flow, so I prefer simple command line tools. https://taskwarrior.org/ is my current favorite.

I’ll volunteer Taskwarrior (https://taskwarrior.org), since I don’t see it from anyone else just yet. It’s a CLI oriented task management system which (once you learn it) can be very quick and easy to use. It’s not perfect but they’ve done a better job that I would have for sure, and have really thought about reducing friction.

Cool, I set it in my Google Calendar and put it in my Taskwarrior that I started using.

Development on it isn't as active as it was once upon a time, but it's definitely still happening! A new (large) pull request was opened just yesterday: https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/pull/3094
