You could always print out a physical companion to your database if you wanted to add a little more pizazz. ;) https://www.instructables.com/A-fully-3D-printable-GlaDOS-Ro...

I so want that now!

We're in the process of setting up our new work digs and I'm gonna print one to live above "the lab" (our electrical/electronic hardware workshop). Someday I'm hoping to hook up some facial recognition so it can emit sassy text-to-speech when it recognizes someone.

If there was someone selling this, I would buy it!

This is amazing. I just started working on my own todo list system[1] the other week after trying tons of todo list apps. I focused on a command line flat file system first because I've started using hledger and I have a markdown wiki in Obsidian but I want to develop a graphical interface eventually. Yours is lovely. Great ui! I hope you don't mind me taking inspiration!

The biggest thing I've found lacking in most todo list apps is recurring checklists. The closest I've come to having the feature set I wanted was Microsoft's Todo[2] app, which was based on Wunderlist[3]. Microsoft bought and killed it before I had the chance to use it but it sounded pretty excellent.

I still haven't set up my checklist system but I started to take inspiration from scrum at work to just design a hierarchical todo list system with separate files for each long term "epic" project, and then a rolling todo list that should have copies of the lines from the epic files (all of them have unique ids) so that I can check them off easily. The workflow is still evolving.

Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna be watching your repo!

Thanks for creating this. I'm not sure its going to work for my purposes but I like that you can add custom properties (Structured Data) to tasks. Ill install it and check it out. I have been looking for something to replace my todo list app "Alarmed" which is on the IOS but has not been updated in awhile and concerned with it be abandonware soon. The think I need most is group tasks into specific catagories and setting recurring reminders for my list of to-dos as I constantly need to be continuously reminded if tasks.

I just looked at your repo, and I really like the "long term projects" idea that can span multiple events over days. While I have considered it for GLADOS, I've haven't solved the problem to my satisfaction.

Right now, I use structured events for all personal projects: https://imgur.com/a/nehojJN but there isn't an overall project status.

> group tasks into specific categories

I do this using a separate "topic" for each of my projects, and "structure" for "Project Work". See https://imgur.com/a/nehojJN

> setting recurring reminders for my list

I actually wrote a plugin for this [1]. If there are no recent "events" for a given "topic", it shows up on the sidebar. As I mentioned in another comment, the original goal was conversation reminders with friends, but I use it for project work too.

> I'm not sure its going to work for my purposes

I'd recommend looking at the backup files, since they're basically JSON data that can be transformed and exported to whatever else you want, in case you find something better.
