This is great, I love tools like this.

I made something very similar: https://github.com/hatboysam/shpm

It's a command line task manager I wrote in Haskell. I use it every day and it has replaced all other task apps I have tried because it's fast and simple. I also like it because it stores all of my tasks in plain text so I can always edit the file over Dropbox when I'm not at my computer but want to add something to the list.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you. I have just started with node, so your advice is valuable. Do you know if files with '#!/bin/node' (or was it '#!/bin/env/node') work in windows when published through npm?

If you specify a js file as an executable file in your package.json, npm wraps it in a .cmd file on Windows just like it wraps it in a shell file on nix.

That's good to know. Thanks!

Wow, SHPM looks like a neat project. I like the fact that you store it in a text file.

At the moment, TaskCmd stores the tasks in a JSON file that can be edited easily, but it can be a pain sometimes.

Thanks! It's perfect for me, but I get the sense that the only good todo app is the one you make yourself. That's why people without the ability to make one spend so much time switching back and forth.
