This is basically an outliner[0]. Looking around the page i didn't see any graphics, only text. At the past i wrote a text-only outliner[1] which while very useful, i eventually found the need to embed images, change text styles, etc and the only way to do it would be to basically rewrite 90% of it (so i never bothered) as it was written explicitly for console/text mode. Since you are using graphical output, i'd reco…

I use codemirror texteditor and haml so I can write stuff directly on the website. I have #hashtags to connect single sheets with each other but basicially its an outliner. Works pretty good for my needs.

I'm still waiting for a todo tool that does todos how I do them. Each todo item has a TTL of 1 week, after that, it gets moved to the "never done" list if I don't update it before then. After a few years of doing things this way, and explaining it to my bosses over time, they come to understand that if you give me too many things to do at once, only the highest priority things will ever get done.

I began to use Trello and its automations for these kind of things.

Oh, dear. Managing deep trees of TODOs is... not a good way of managing TODOs. I find long TODO lists/trees stressful and cumbersome. I used to maintain quite a few of those, but eventually found it discouraging. There's no end in sight! What I appreciate about GTD and its context lists that look and feel like TODO lists is that they are short. While I may have items sitting on mine for several weeks at a time, overa…

What if TODOs were a graph instead of a tree? that way they can update themselves!

“Dool” / دول means “penis” in Farsi. This got me wondering if anyone’s built a service to catch these kinds of things and it turns out they have! Wordsafety.com catches this successfully

And "to" means "you"
