What ever happened to pencil and paper?
I'd love there to be an AppImage, Flatpak and / or an AUR version for Arch users...
What is the stack?
With respect, why is the /privacy/ aspect so important in a planner app that you've chosen to market it as an important feature? I actually want my planner to be public! Makes the appointments/meeting plans process simpler. Also, while I'm not a big fan of integrating every other thing into gmail, I actually rather like that recent updates in gmail which have calendar/planner on the side, I think they've got the righ…
Nice work. This isn't your fault, but it's inspiring a tangent. It's so strange, but I hate being so spoiled for choice. The main thing I miss about software from 20 years ago is that there were rarely more than two or three answers to the "which software should I use?" question. By today's standards, the tools we had were subpar. But it was easier to tell the best of the "worst" from the worst of the best. I recall…
I consider things like:
* Does this synchronize to other devices?
* Does this support the device(s)/OS(es) I want to use it on?
* Does this integrate to other applications I use?
* Is this likely to contain malware, or could it in the future?
* Does it require me running my own infrastructure, or can I pay someone else?
* Am I comfortable with the extent I'll be locked into this ecosystem, if any?
* Is it a worthwhile cost to me? Is the price likely to radically change in the future (after I'm locked in)?
* If free, why? (Am I the product? Are there or will there be ads?)
* If open source, is it likely to stay that way? Is there a community around it? Am I capable of maintaining this if I need to?
* What new security threats does this open me up to?
Granted, I don't always care about all of these (sometimes depending on answers to others), but it's a way bigger list than I'd have had 20 years ago.
Tangential ask HN: what is a good Linux desktop to do app that supports monthly recurring tasks (I have some accounting stuff that I need to remember to do every month). I’ll use for daily adhoc tasks too, but any app (or pencil and paper) can handle them.
I also really like elementary planner, but its sync feature doesn’t work perfectly with Todoist … which is more or less required for me because I need my todo list on my Phone. It is going through a major revision right now so I’m hopeful that it gets even better.
Both support recurring monthly reminders. If I were you, I would try elementary’s planner first. It was designed for elementary distro desktop, but it works just fine in gnome
For those who are looking for the code: https://github.com/Zuntek/WeekToDoWeb
I hate to be that guy, but this looks exactly like https://teuxdeux.com/ , a service made by Tina Roth Eisenberg ( https://www.swiss-miss.com/ ) which has been around for a long long time. More than one product can exist in a space (and todo lists are a dime a dozen) and maybe this was a completely original idea and GMTA, but wow it sure looks like a note for note copy
* Easily multi-calendar. My wife or I go in, enter things for each of the kids' schedules. So ideally a drop-down or something with each of the calendars.
* Printable with the entire week on a single landscape page neatly.
I've thought about building out my own not using Trello, and still might.
