Ask HN: To-do list that lets you put a lot of detail in each task
I know that these days there are more to-do lists than Chinese people. I was looking for one that will satisfy my needs, and after about a dozen that didn't I decided to ask here.
I'm looking for a to-do list that lets you put a lot of detail in each task. Most to-do lists only let you put one line in the task, while I want to write pages of text about each task. I want to keep track of my progress in each task. It's more for mini-projects than for tasks. I will have a lot to write about each project. I'm not even sure if what I'm looking for will be called a to-do list or something else.
Does anyone have a recommendation?

- cool-RR 18y agoOkay, this looks cool. I installed it and will try it with my next tasks.
- pasbesoin 18y agoI've been a happy user. The developer, Dan, is very responsive. It's not cross platform, but it is open source. I wonder whether anyone's tried it under Wine. BTW, task comments can be either plain text or rich text, in case you don't initially notice this.
- cool-RR 18y agoI started to use it, it's pretty cool. But I noticed the download page wasn't updated since 2007. Is it really a living project or what?
- pasbesoin 18y agoThis is where it really lives. It requires a free registration (I know) to download. I've never had a problem, and I let the occasional email from code project just go to a secondary email account that I use for such registrations. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx
