This is amazing. I just started working on my own todo list system[1] the other week after trying tons of todo list apps. I focused on a command line flat file system first because I've started using hledger and I have a markdown wiki in Obsidian but I want to develop a graphical interface eventually. Yours is lovely. Great ui! I hope you don't mind me taking inspiration!
The biggest thing I've found lacking in most todo list apps is recurring checklists. The closest I've come to having the feature set I wanted was Microsoft's Todo[2] app, which was based on Wunderlist[3]. Microsoft bought and killed it before I had the chance to use it but it sounded pretty excellent.
I still haven't set up my checklist system but I started to take inspiration from scrum at work to just design a hierarchical todo list system with separate files for each long term "epic" project, and then a rolling todo list that should have copies of the lines from the epic files (all of them have unique ids) so that I can check them off easily. The workflow is still evolving.
Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna be watching your repo!

- majestic8 5y agoI just looked at your repo, and I really like the "long term projects" idea that can span multiple events over days. While I have considered it for GLADOS, I've haven't solved the problem to my satisfaction. Right now, I use structured events for all personal projects: https://imgur.com/a/nehojJN https://imgur.com/a/nehojJN but there isn't an overall project status.
