taskwarrior-web
A web interface for the Taskwarrior todo application. Because being a neckbeard is only fun sometimes.
I've been using a markdown-based calendar in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) together with a regular Google Calendar, and so far, it's been working great for me. For markdown, I simply create interconnected notes for years, months, weeks, and days and note down tasks, birthdays, and whatever. For scheduling, I regular Google Calendar events. In the notes, I keep track of what actually happened or has to happen (todos, etc.).

* I've also created a script to automatically generate all the files for me: https://github.com/lorey/obsi
I've adapted todo.txt format to be a worse-is-better combined calendar/appointments and task list, for personal use (not a lot of meetings scheduled, nor videoconf&chat integration). It works well enough for now.

Basically, change the meaning of the date on a todo.txt item to be the soonest date that task/appointment can be done, have optional time of day (point or range), and sort it in a particular order (pending before completed, then by date, then by time of day). Every day, tasks you didn't do, search&replace the date to tomorrow.

I'm not really one for shilling my (decidedly unprofessional) coded projects, but submit that I have put together a shell script[1] that builds an agenda using date stamps from passed text files. The script is POSIX compliant if you pass a flag, but otherwise uses Fzf to filter and jump to entries. It's basically like a less extensible, but much shorter (in terms of lines of code) version of Org Agenda. I'm currently extending it to export an ICS file, which will allow automatic import into calendar services from Google, Fastmail, Apple, or whatever. Two-way calendar sync is beyond my will for faff, but if the spirit so moves someone I wouldn't stand in the way.

I used taskwarrior (https://taskwarrior.org/) for years and loved it but eventually stopped because of there was no way around having to manage a separate task manager on my phone. I follow GTD and it really demands that you be able to add tasks immediately so I would end up maintaining two lists. Not very effective so I went back to using Things.

This has been my only issue with using Taskwarrior. There are a few android apps (the quality of which I cannot speak to) but not having an iOS app means I end up missing lots of things. https://github.com/blampe/taskwarrior-reminders was probably the closest I got, but it had some issues with some of my tasks. I miss having a single good place to put all my tasks.
