menubar VS todo.txt-cli

been working on https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar for a couple months, but nervous to "launch" it because i feel like it hasn't had a significant "wow" moment yet. basically the idea is to 5x the amount of chat output for every unit of human input, to get variety + familiarity with the wide range of chat models out there. its moved from a "smol menubar app" towards its own "ai chat browser". i wonder if i should put int he work to make it a full "ai browser" before i launch it.

comparing them every day via https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar . i'd say when it comes to coding I pick their suggestions about 30% of the time. not SOTA, but pretty darn good!

fwiw i noticed the demo failing before today's release. i use all 4 major chat apps every single day for every query (https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar) and started detecting a major major regression in bard about a week or so ago. so suspected something was going on, went back to pop in this question and lo and behold

smol-ai/menubar: a menubar with Zero latency access to ChatGPT/Bard/Claude! A/B test them, or use them in the background. I use this 20 times a day. (github.com) It has a customizable URL. But I don't know how to install it. Plus limited to three chatbots.

smol menubar - quickly access ChatGPT, Bard, and Anthropic with a single keyboard shortcut

i think the best way to consume these things is a menubar app that can be brought up quickly with a shortcut. i recently released https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar which i personally use!

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.
