Tasks.org: Open-source To-Do Lists & Reminders (version 13.6): Fork of Astrid Tasks & To-Do List

I thought it was a great idea to find out how certain features are implemented in other people’s projects. I know two open-source apps that are similar to what I want to build: uhabits and tasks.org.

I think it really depends on what your definition of "productive" is.

Let me try and quantify it. I looked through my apps that I installed from F-Droid, then looked at their GitHub issues and picked one [0]. I bet I could implement that in less than a week with 0 Android development experience.

> Every Android version is basically a reboot in many parts of the framework, the device fragmentation is hardly any better than J2ME days, several features are only documented via samples or Google IO talks, Gradle plugins require rewrites between upgrades, and each Android Studio release is a box of surprises what quirks it has.

Does any of that really matter if you're hiring someone into an existing org? Doesn't Android have amazing backwards compatibility? I'm sure I have some dice app from 2012 that still runs. The company is probably targeting some version of Android and isn't changing to the latest one every time a new version is released.

Tasks.org: Open-source To-Do Lists & Reminders (version 13.3.2): Fork of Astrid Tasks & To-Do List

Then follow me in supporting the project. As I've got little time on my hands atm I'm supporting it financially. And using the tasks.org sync is working well for me (except for the hiccups I denoted in my last two posts and although there's no good desktop solution for my taste as of now).

There is no tasks.org web app. And Google really doesn't present a decent web app either for Google Tasks other than as a sidebar in Gmail. THere are extensions and other apps that work fairly well, but nothing native.

It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant.

That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc.

NextCloud - GitHub

Good open source self-hostable alternatives exist! https://nextcloud.com/ (no affiliation, just a longtime happy user) is great for file sharing and even collaborative online document editing.

If you do not want to host your own instance, there are many great providers who will host one for you at a low cost.

See Configuration and syntax changes and Special packages. The latter this time includes changes around NextCloud 23 and Tor Browser prior to 12.5, both of which should be upgraded beforehand.
