I love this app!! The UI is super fast and the demo is well made. I think either way you’ll find users, tho it is a crowded space - the most important part is whether you personally find it useful I think :)

I think you’d get a lot of the features people are complaining about missing, namely around mobile usage, by having this just be a GUI for editing markdown files. Markdown is amazing, it can definitely store all these states, and can be edited with a plain ol text editor if you don’t have time to write a phone app.

For an example of how powerful “a gui that stores its content as specialize markdown” can be, see obsdidian.

This is excellent. Well done! I love the demo.

I've been wanting to work on something similar, with "scriptable tagging" plugins, so that I could, for instance, enter text like [ABC-123], and have it auto-link to a jira or linear ticket. Ideally it would show the state and possibly allow drilling-down into the contents for those tickets as well (expand ticket shows description, status, expand further to show comments, etc)

Likewise with slack links, github links, etc. Ideally those links could potentially also allow interactions with said services (marking done in-app, marks "complete" in ticket app)

I think I'd also want items in which I could write full text entries - but still referenced in the same list-style format, expanding the text as needed.

Anyway - those are the features I personally want in _something_ like this, in a markdown editor, something I end up writing poorly and leave to die on some drive somewhere - wherever.

Looks interesting but really does not handle super high DPI screens well in Windows-- the interface text is extremely tiny and hard to read. You should probably detect the resolution and adjust the default UI text and task text to always be a comfortable size for easy reading.

This reminds me of https://checkvist.com , which I hope would be used more. It's actually a great replacement for Trello or any other kind of board for smaller projects.

That's a good share. OPs project and video are very interesting to me, although the "Introduction to Checkvist" explanation page serving as all in one demo/documentation/trial was for me a much more efficient way to size up the product.

dont have high DPI but I enabled the setting

you can scale tasks up/down with ctrl+scroll

UI text scale can be adjusted in the options file - dont have a slider for it
