You have to carry it around if you want your task list to be anywhere but in just one spot.
from my perspective, as soon as my todo list is digitized it is hidden from me. And as soon as it is hidden I forget to maintain it.
Is there anyone who used org mode and taskwarrior to get a compare and contrast?
I guess Org mode is better for someone who is already an Emacs user; and does anyone use Org mode without Emacs? Taskwarrior is probably a fine piece of software though.
Well, I use Orgzly on my phone, but I use emacs on my desktop & laptops. Orgzly is okay, but not great — and it has some weird bugs. It's definitely not a complete port of Org mode, or even a port of most of Org mode. For what it is, though, it's better than nothing — and better than the current alternatives.
I really wish that there were a good touch-aware port of emacs on Android.

Author has too much time in his hand now, and decided to reimplement scrolling.
I don't see any actual¹ JavaScript on the page, so how would this have been accomplished? Some fancy but broken scrolling manipulation CSS...? 1: The only JS on the page is an IE conditional comment adding an HTML5 shim script, and the Disqus comment embedding script. Then there's the Google analytics that gets pulled in from font references and I guess Facebook JS via the Disqus embed.

While technically awesome I've tried using it several times but always end up dropping it. I find it difficult to maintain and over time it's left to rot until I finally give up on it. For me I don't actually need the complexity. A simple text based todo list would basically do the same job. The main issue is actually maintaining it. This is why I like habitica more: https://habitica.com/ It's basically a gamified to…
I find a physical notepad and a pen to be perfect for prioritizing and recording to-dos. Not sure why it needs to be "optimized" any further.
For example, when I pick up a case to work on, I'll immediately add it:
task add project:team.kanban case-1234 Add the frob
task add project:team.kanban.case-1234 Query backend for the data
task add project:team.kanban.case-1234 Send ajax call/store in redux
task add project:team.kanban.case-1234 Add to UI
task add project:team.kanban.case-1234 Use the new widget for filters
task add project:team.kanban.case-1234 Make filters work
task 3 modify depends:2
task 4 modify depends:3
task 6 modify depends:5
task 1 modify depends:2,3,4,5,6
If you also use vimwiki, there's another plugin that works on top of it called taskwiki [0] that lets you use use a taskwarrior filter to show a set of tasks in the wiki, that auto-update. It even shows dependencies as indented todolist items (though the above example wouldn't work because tasks 2, 3, and 5 each have two tasks that depend on it; this and a few other things has me writing my own vim plugin for vimwiki that'll handle handle the above, plus a few other differences).
This seems really cool but I can't imagine using a task manager that doesn't also have a mobile app.

Agreed. I thought it would not be the case but I’ve been bullet journaling for about 6 months and it’s been revolutionary.
But then I stopped being a lone wolf dev and it simply doesn’t work for teams. Yet.
