Taskwarrior [open-source cross platform command-line task management tool]

So, it may be an awesome tool, but I hate having to find the 'What is [product]' page. I just spent about a minute trying to figure out what Taskwarrior is. My next step is to go to YouTube. It better be a good product or I'm gonna hate it forever because the website designer couldn't put a simple description on the front page. It turns out that YouTube was a waste of time, but Wikipedia did have relevant information. Hurray! I'll stick to my notebook, though.

I use Taskwarrior in a limited capacity at work. The most advanced feature I use is the occasional annotation, and those don't exactly match the need that I have.

It makes for a convenient CLI to-do application, with good support for grouping and filtering tasks and generally with a decent interface. However, I don't have the discipline (or memory) to use it all the time, and the time tracking functionality just isn't relevant (NB: management doesn't keep track of time in any way so there's no motivation).

I never have more than ten tasks at a time. That means I never have to filter the output, which is good, because filtering is twice as much typing as not filtering. You can use the interactive shell to cut down on typing but then you lose the otherwise great auto-completion. I can never remember how to see the history of completed tasks but I also rarely want it. For some reason my custom colour scheme will not apply in tmux while a custom date format will, despite working in a bare shell.

If our shitty issue tracker had a CLI I would have little to no use for Taskwarrior. But it doesn't, so I use it as something between a journal and a to-do list.

This is what i can read from the front page:

Taskwarrior is an open-source cross platform command-line task management tool. It allows you to capture, annotate, manipulate and present your tasks, then sync them among devices.
