#tasksdotorg — Public Fediverse posts

so, I spent another fruitful hour and a half or so poking at #TasksDotOrg today, initially just to garden my various todo lists, but then I noticed some unexpected behavior with the first Filter I'd created, and dug into it in order to make it work how I originally intended.

long story short: I succeeded, and now I have a couple Filters working perfectly (I think) which I'd very much needed: an all personal tasks filter, and an all tech-work tasks filter.

#TasksOrg is incredibly powerful software, but it's not 100% obvious how to use it to scratch your particular itch, and it probably won't ever be unless some deep work is done on presets at some point in the future. I'm not complaining that this hasn't been done, the developer has his work cut out for him just debugging & maintaining the software as-is ... and even so, he's now building a desktop app!

anyway, I absolutely *must* do a video on how I'm using the software, because I think it'll help a lot of people get started with one of the few comprehensive #CalDAV tasks solutions available for Android, and soon for desktop.

had a task in Tasks.org to make a Tasks.org feature request for a combined list view, but when I went searching for pre-existing tickets, I learned that Filters accomplish this. so yay for that.

I really need to make a #TasksDotOrg video at some point, especially now that the dude is working on it full time and is building a desktop app. #TasksOrg

the #TasksDotOrg dev shipped a feature I had on my list to request: per-list sorting.

this will allow me to use #TasksOrg as a routine checklist (sorted in arbitrary order) as well as a to-do list (sorted by due date).

just found out that the Tasks.org guy has started working on the project full-time and will be launching a donationware desktop app in a few months! #TasksOrg #TasksDotOrg
