Ask HN: Best todo list?
What do you use for a todo list software / service? Not project management, just a todo list, but one that is full-featured. Specifically I want something that can:
1. Create hierarchical lists, so tasks with sub and subsub tasks.
2. Overlapping tags / categories for tasks.
3. Triggers for activating tasks. Simplest would be time-based. So a task would only show up on the todo list at a certain date, and perhaps only stay there for a date range. I also need tasks that are triggered based on other tasks. So task B only becomes active (i.e. shows up on the todo list) when task A is completed. Composite trigger rules with multiple conditions would be ideal.
4. A way to view only a subset of tasks, perhaps randomly chosen. So something like "task of the day", which would be randomly picked from a pool of tasks. Ideally one can have multiple pools, etc.
Anything like this exists? Anyone care to make it? ;-)

- superfx 15y agoI have specific requirements, particularly numbers 3 and 4. AFAIK none of the ones that show up on google can do those, in particular 3.
- dmm 15y agoorg-mode for emacs is the most useful piece of software I've ever installed. It can do everything you mentioned and far more. Number 4 might take a little hacking but shouldn't be a big deal.
- saiko-chriskun 15y agohm I actually like the idea of tasks triggering other tasks. I just might have to make a small webapp for this :D

- trafficlight 15y agoI'd like a Got Done List. Like a just a list of things I can say I accomplished in the day, rather than items I've checked off.
- elbeanio 15y agohttp://workflowy.com http://workflowy.com allows you to #tag items and create hierarchical lists. I like it and use it, but not as much as org-mode.
