todor - yet another cli TODO in Rust

Design Points

• cli interface design factors:

  • add : friendly readline
  • mark: checklist with hjkl navi key support, to toggle
  • edit: call vi to edit markdown file directly
  • colorful!

• how to store the tasks in fs

  • config need to go XDG_HOME_CONFIG
  • in MD, not json
  • file store at: (default) ~/.local/share/todor/*.md
  • default inbox file will be INBOX.md

• sub-tasks support

  • Use regular markdown symtax to represent sub-tasks
  • Need to use edit command to edit the markdown file manually to manage the level
  • list works very well with nice outputs
  • mark, purge can work well enough
    • but be careful about purge --sort
  • other commands have no changes or regressions

Sub commands

• commands:

  • list(default), listall, add, mark, edit, count

  • purge, glance, listbox

  • sink, shift, collect, postp

  • import

  • sync with iCloud

  • sync with MS-TODO

How the tasks are moving around

These four commands: sink, shift, collect, postp are designed to move tasks around in the list. And below is a diagram to show how they work.
