rodo VS tax

I wrote a small Ruby TUI which works like this called Rodo (Ruby Todos). Pressing CTRL+t will get you a new Todo list (it's just markdown) at the top of a file.

I am almost using this format for my markdown todo app written in Ruby:

Differences:

I use unicode symbols such as ⌛ or for paused or priority items.

I use dash for obsolete/canceled items. I find this more in line with bullet journal which inspired the development of Rodo.

I do use markdown bullet lists.

Nice! I also have this pain of the file losing shape quickly. My take is to have a a CLI tool to "carry over" all todos which aren't solved into a new heading. This way the old/resolved items are moved to the back/lower in the file.

I call it Rodo (Todos in Ruby): https://github.com/coezbek/rodo

It uses Markdown for syntax.

Definitely true, but sometimes the lack of sane tooling makes it harder to follow rituals. I used to use the same format as the OP in a text editor, but struggled with the daily grind of copying items around and carrying over todos from the last day. Paper is much better for this, but messy (even with scanning).

In the end I wrote a small tool to assist with starting each day with a blank journal and all remaining items from the last day. Syntax is primarily markdown.

I have recently developed my own terminal-based UI for day journalling and todo/task tracking [1] in markdown files because I was sick of rearranging todos in other tools and just needed something which provides a standard template for each day (journal, high priority, todos of the day).

The main advantage is that you can "migrate" all unfinished todos to a new page/day and thus get a clean start each day. This idea comes from bullet journalling.

To get it done I had to dig a bit into ncurses, which turned out more interesting than I thought. For instance, Windows Terminal just gained support for bracketed paste a couple of months ago and my tool supports it.

Long term I would like to add generated views (for instance: last year this time one of your highlights was...) and support recurring tasks to be inserted into he daily log.

Stack: Ruby, Curses, Markdown

I made for myself something similar, for display in my shell prompt https://github.com/netgusto/tax

Wow such a coincidence! I recently toyed on such a spec for my shell prompt task manager https://github.com/netgusto/tax

I'm certainly going to look into implementing the spec.

Some questions/suggestions:

I made a prompt todo reminder that could be nicely completed by your project! https://github.com/netgusto/tax

Also, reminds me of the blockchain oracle systems and smart contracts.

Cool idea, neat project!
