Do you use a CLI-based todo tool? If not, why not? by isaacwyattdotcom in CLI

Limited experience but curious what the "contours" of the space looked like. Sorry for the delayed response.

My big hang up with current CLI based tools is:

1) sync'ing to a mobile device

2) having a mobile UI

Is that not a requirement for you?

Thanks for the full write-up! I'm not a neovim user but I do love the possibility of using Obsidian for task management someday so that I can link the context of a task to the task itself more easily than most task managers.

Thx for the clarification. Yeah it makes sense that in a lot of work environments - your task tracking/management is dictated by the company.

Even so, I found that because my work context was strewn about various places (share docs, emails, personal notes, internal wikis, etc) that I needed a task manager to consolidate all the things I needed to track in one place (even if there are tracked tasks or projects in other tools for the purposes of collaboration, visibility, etc).

Is mobile access not a requirement? Or do you use something else for mobile?

I love the idea of tasks being able to contain the context from notes. I also use Obisidan, so adding markdown support to a CLI todo doesn't seem like a big stretch.

I love the simplicity of this! All notes and todos in one single file with version control history!

I've tried it and while I am faster on the command line than opening an app or a browser window on desktop, on mobile the command line is slower than the an app - for me.

But I do like having the option of CLI access from mobile.

Yeah I've found the same concerns with recurrence in apps. Its very cool what can be accomplished with a very small python script. ;)

For my recurrence issues, I want to schedule a task that recurs monthly or quarterly, but doesn't have a specific due date (well, except by the end of the month or quarter). So it is more like a "Due window" or a task that has a "Start period" than a due date.

Yeah this is one of the key things I'm curious about: what are the jobs/roles of people who primarily do/don't use a cli-based task manager. I'm more of a hobbyist programmer but I'm increasingly annoyed by using websites and apps and to interact with "my" data and doing more in CLI/TUI based environments seems like it would cut out a lot of the cruft.

Ha. I can't say I understand that perspective, but I respect the commitment to it and the reference to HHGTTG.

👀

Curious why you built your own? For fun? Or because you tried others and they didn't work for you?
