Earlier quoted context omitted.

This looks exactly like something I’m looking for (and have indeed already starred), but the repo still looks very empty. So: How much of it is actually done?

That's an old repo, I originally started it as open source but it's not open source anymore. I'm making it mobile first and doing the web version (the mockup video on the landing page) after the mobile version. The mobile version is coming along well, you can follow my Twitter or sign up your email address on the landing page for updates.

Oh, bummer, that reduces my enthusiasm. I might still have a look. Does it work on local data?

I've been building my own thing for a while. It blends the hierarchical navigation of Workflowy (to figure out your priorities) with task management and routine building. Throughout this process, I discovered a whole lot about ADHD. It turns out that's why I've chased this with such reckless abandon. Between the internal pressure and balancing the side effects of medication, I burnt out. I'm _slowly_ climbing my way…

I have an idea that is very similar to what you have described here, but I lack the coding skills to bring it to life. I'd like to try yours out!

Just sent you an email

I like to try your solution as well. Thanks

Would love to have you take a look but I couldn't find any contact info for you.

I've been nudging test users towards my Discord server for ongoing support.

Consider this an open invite to anybody (for now); I'll disable this link if/when I need to.

To some extent but due to wanting to make the mobile and web versions sync, I'm using a cloud database so it won't be fully local.

http://dynalist.io Proprietary freemium, but I love it. It works offline, it works on linux and windows, it works on my phone... It's basically a hierarchical set of todo trees, with a nice IU, sync, dates, hilightning, checkboxes, titles and tags. They recently added templates. The search is excellent as it can filter by color, tag, dates... And you can favorite anything into the menu, including a search. The keyboa…

Love Dynalist too - using the "native" app on MacOS today. Have you tried checkvist ? Not as good looking but great Vim-inspired shortcuts.

My brain. I consider what I care most about and do that. Everyone should be able to do what's most effective for them so keep using those tools if they are working well sure you. Personally, I have been frustrated by a world that forces me to accept friction and do the extra work of bookkeeping.

I used to do this but as I take on more tasks involving more names/faces and in an effort to separate my work and personal lives, I embraced the effort of 'book-keeping' as a way to braindump, a task written is a task I don't have to remember.

I don't see any download button. Does it have a desktop client that works offline ?

It's a requirement for me.
