Clean interface. Interesting approach. The demo account helps alot for a quick experimentation. Just the dark mode already makes this 10 times better than trello for me. Had a little bug when entering the settings screen where everything suddenly switched to russian.

Is it only for todos or can we take regular notes on it as well?
It has ability to take notes and even multiple comments on tasks. The details field allows adding sub items (markdown checklist) to a ticket. There’s also a way of organizing tasks on a Kanban. It looks a lot like Trello.
Excellent. This will be my new notes app moving forward. Been frustrated with obsidian's complex design

#53I miss the days where app installation was just "unzip, edit the config file, upload to your web server and hit up the install page". Now it's all Docker and gulp and build and urgh soooo complicated.
Nowadays, if databases are involved, I actually prefer docker. At least there is a standard way to manage them. I have portainer installed, now everything is just managed through a web interface. It is okay.

#54The good thing is it has an API so you can write your own client for it.

#55I’ve been a paying Todoist customer for many years. For some reason, they steadfastly refuse to introduce blocking/blocked by flags. It seems so strange to me to do all the hard work of allowing arbitrarily nested projects and tasks, sub-tasks, labels, complex filters and collaboration, but then not do dependencies. Imo dependencies is the big difference between something you can use on complex projects, and a “mere”…
Can you elaborate a bit on what it means to establish a DAG? I know what DAG is, just not sure what is the application here.
Rather than just a pile of tasks, the ability to establish dependencies. This task must be done before that one.
Ideally then, given all these tasks and their dependencies, what should I work on next?

I host tens of self-hosted apps for various purposes, including ones similar to this one, all via docker-compose. Setting up new ones is a breeze (thanks to Traefik), backing up the configuration and data is trivial, upgrading to the latest version takes a few minutes at most. I’m confident my workflow is simpler and more convenient than yours. Granted, the initial investment to learn and understand the tools is pret…
Any chance you could outline your process? E.g. if you had to start from a new VM, what all would you need to do? I've always just set everything up via the command line, and it's tedious/not repeatable (and there's also no isolation). I'm sure there's a better way, but usually the solutions I see involve gluing together a bunch of different tools--possibly even more work than I'm already doing (although there are be…
Can't speak for the parent but since I also use a docker-compose & traefik based setup I can describe my migration process (executed by ansible in my case, could easily be done manually though):
1. Copy docker-compose.yml (for my private stuff there is a single one containing all services + traefik) and config files (host-mounted into services from a config dir) to new host.
2. Start services (docker-compose up).
3. Restore runtime data (in my case I mostly pull some db dumps from my restic repos and load them into the db containers).

A mobile app is work in progress[1]. I am currently using the web interface which is quite usable on a mobile phone. Lists work quite nicely, also on smaller screens. I was using Kanboard previously and mobile usage was a bit too complicated. CalDAV seems to be supported[2]. I have not tried it (yet).

How are you liking Flutter? And any reasons for using Provider and RxDart? I'm looking into using Riverpod, personally.
Sorry, I cannot answer. I am only a user.

#58thats great. someone made a todo app tutorial and just decided, "what if I just keep going?"
Haha yeah pretty much

This. To me, it seems like a weird market blind spot. Most of the tools in this space can't even do a proper tree - typically they limit you to 2-4 levels, like "project", "task", "subtask" and "checklist". The few that don't, stick to the tree model, even though work naturally structures itself into a DAG. From the other end, I know MS Project has pretty much all the things you need, but has questionable UX, is quit…
> I started to tag as #ItsAGraph, #NotATree Oh, epic! While I do agree that most things that are modeled as yes are conceptually actually graphs, maybe my standards are lower/I just use worse software - I'd be very happy to get more trees. My typical rant topic is "just give me a damn tree". The worst offenders regarding this I can think of are note apps with their weird "notebook", "chapter","page" concepts rather t…
Sort of feels like an extension of the 0/1/many concept.
Re: Vikunja – Open-source, self-hostable to-do app
#60Somewhat related to to-do apps, there was an application back in the classic Mac OS days that I remember (although I don't remember the name) which worked in a way I don't think I've seen since, but seems like a pretty reasonable approach to recurring to-do tasks. Some repeating tasks have to happen on a fixed schedule, e.g. put the trash out every Tuesday night. But many (most?) of my repeating tasks a) have quite a…
Maybe not a great example? Isn’t watering plants a case where, with in reason, it really should tend towards a fixed interval? Isn’t the ultimate goal “10cc a day” or some such?
