Well, I guess after years of all the good Todo apps being Mac/iOS, this serves us right! It sounds way interesting, though. I'll have to boot a VM to try this out.
once i get a mac it should be easy to port

#32Would you mind telling what is the underlying rendering engine/framework?
todool is mostly custom built on top of sdl2, sdl2mixer and stbtruetype.
the renderer does basic batching of commands

#33Looks like it can do about 60% of what Org-mode can do, which is pretty good for apps like these!

#34Ooh, I've seen this before on the Odin newsletter! https://odin-lang.org/news/newsletter-2022-11/ Exciting to see this get some spotlight. Was it entirely from scratch? Did you build it on SDL or Sokol or something?

#35This 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.
I've been a paying user of Checkvist for years. It's a a pleasing rarity in the contemporary web software world - a simple useful and reliable keyboard-driven tool with little hype and no world-conquering aspirations. It improves year on year, but at no great velocity. It seems to be entirely the property of a team of 2 who are personally responsive at their user forum (https://discuss.checkvist.com/).

#39Seems like some neat ideas here. but I am a bit confused who the customer is for this. I am a software engineer that heavily uses todo tracking apps, but this isn't for me. I use todoist to manage my life. Critical features are mobile app and scheduling tasks. I use jira to manage project work. Critical feature is multi-user. This is desktop only, so I can't use it for my grocery list. This doesn't seem to let me sha…

#40This is an amazing demo! It's rare to see a live demo this polished. And one that uses the app itself to actually do the demo? Even better. Nice work! I'm excited to see where this goes.
I'm not normally a dissenting voice, but this demo was very irritating to me.
