  • #Evolution-of-Todo.taskpaper:
  • - Two main goals
  • - Organize todo items (automatically sort by priority, archive "@done" items)
  • - Organize notes (often attached to todo items)
  • - Special type of note: bookmarks (johns-async-react-p….glitch.me)
  • - Major versions
  • - Paper todo files dropbox.com/⋯/Sample-Todos.pdf?…
  • - Todo.xls
  • - Todo.html github.com/Leftium/todo.html

  • #Current-concept: nvAlt/simplenote.com + TaskPaper + α:
  • - Overall UI based on Notational Velocity/nvAlt/app.simplenote.com
  • - Major components: [search/input] + [master list] + [detail view]
  • - Taskpaper lives mainly in detail view
  • - Note: classic TP UI also possible; "views" allow flexible config
  • - My new features
  • - Deep tags ("deep attributes?" Values based on child items)
  • - Examples: #due (see example below), #priority, #sum, #max, #min, #count
  • - Calculated by recursively calling someScript(defaultValue, item, childItems[])
  • - Views (single TP document can have multiple views rendered)
  • - Possible views: focus, tags, calendar, bookmarks, todo, "classic" text
  • - Meta tags (for internal use; normally hidden; generated automatically)
  • - Examples: $isFolded, $created(2019-08-06), $lastEdit(2019-08-06), $id(123)
  • - Major influences/features
  • - Combined search + input @nvAlt @SimpleNote
  • - Master/detail view @nvAlt @SimpleNote
  • - Cloud-based collaborative editing @SimpleNote
  • - Projects, tasks, notes hierarchy @TP
  • - Tags @TP
  • - Focus, fold @TP
  • - (Instant) filter @TP, @nvAlt, @SimpleNote
  • - Other influences/ideas
  • - Drafts iOS app
  • - Arbitrary text notes, tags, and activity stream threadreaderapp.com/⋯/933241254938152961.…
  • - pipedrive.com
  • - Minimum viable project:
  • - No GUI; just watch TP file & calc deep tags; then sort and save.

  • #Detailed-example-of-the-#due-deep-tag:
  • The #due deep tag is the "effective due" date for an item. If a child item's effective due date is closer, the parent's effective due date is "bumped up" because it contains a sub-task that needs attention sooner.
  • The value for this deep tag is based on the value of child items' "#due," and "@done" tags.
  • Normally the #due tag is not explicity specified; only shown below for reference.
  • Numbers were used instead of full dates to simplify the this example.
  • - Task A @due(9) #due(4) because child Task B has closer effective due date.
  • - Task B @due(5) #due(4) because child Task C has closer due date.
  • - Task C @due(4) #due(4) because #due gets value of @due when no child items.
  • - Task D @due(3) @done #due(MAX_DATE) because task is done.
  • - Task E @due(6) #due(6) because #due is ignored for child items that are done.
  • - Task F @due(2) @done #due(MAX_DATE)

  • #Other-Notes:
  • #Some-of-my-real-use-cases:
  • - Sales pipeline (Possibilities->Collect Info->Touch->Offer Demo->Remind of Demo->Do Demo->Follow up->Won->Lost)
  • - Notes/links to (JIRA) tickets
  • - Notes while on phone support, often need to follow up
  • - While doing taxes, added FBAR task
  • #Two-notable-features-missing-from-TaskPaper-MacOS:
  • - URL scheme (bookmarklet to scrape JIRA ticket info from HTML and import as new project)
  • - Sort projects/tasks (by attribute, last mod date)
  • #Two-annoyances-in-nvAlt:
  • - Difficult to change item's title.
  • - Rich-text formatting gets in way.
