Todo4: Condorset Task Management
Synopsis
Todo4 is a personal task management software that runs in the terminal via a custom NodeJS repl. It utilizes Condorset Ranking to track the priority and timeliness of tasks and order dependencies. It can whittle the largests lists into a selection of the most imporant tasks so long as you use good judgement when ranking tasks.
File structure
todo.js contains the core logic of managing tasks and their relative ranking. data.js and data2.js manages state persistence. nice.js is a wrapper to todo.js that provides easy to use functions for the node REPL environment including many shorthands. easystart.js takes the functions from nice.js and places them into a REPL with its own context and makes it easy to launch specific lists as "users".
The most important included functions
These are the functions I use most from nice.js
- pull() aka p(). Pull some sample tasks off the top of the stack. Pulling tasks list them and provides the task id and assigns a temporary short id.
- rank() rank with full ids.
- r() rank with short ids.
- pullmirror() aka pm(). gives you a sample of past tasks to see if you want to do them again or re-add them to the main stack
- add(). Opens up a prompt to add tasks to the top of the stack
- addfromfile(). Let's you bulk add from a file
- remove(). Removes a task from the stack.
- done(). Removes and marks done using a full id.
- d(). Mark done the task you ranked top in your last ranking or uses a short id.
- search(). Find tasks matching each pattern you provide.
- pullexposed(). Pull but only consider tasks that have ranking data
- edit(). Edit the text of a task
- lookback(). Look at what tasks you have gotten done either that day or some number of days back.
