[Feature Request] Export/import lists as markdown files #6

Open droptile opened 1 year ago

droptile commented 1 year ago

Add the ability to export and import the lists and list items as markdown files in folders. Exporting each list as a folder and each item as a file would be very intuitive. The folder would be the list name, the file name would be each list items title, and the file contents would be the description of the list item if it has one. The exported data would be contained in a folder named something like minttask-2023-22-10-450 meaning the exported data would automatically be named based on the date and time it was created. This makes managing backups easy. This system would be straightforward to implement if minttask stored all of its data as markdown files on the filesystem by default. In that case importing and exporting the list(s) would just mean copying and pasting a directory.

thats actually a very good idea, thanks for putting it forward!

PS: I'm also searching for a better visual markdown editor for flutter to make the task description more lively :D

yes, i also really want this! 😀

how does minttask store its data today? could find anything in apps data with the file browser, but perhaps there is a way to pry it out of the phone using adb even now?

anyway, best todo list ever, big thank you!

@fisx the version available currently on fdroid stores data on sqlite db. But things will change, although I've briefly explained my plans in the README I'm still running back and forth with design or feature complexity since I'm not from a CS background, even started the project from scratch 3 times and dumped bcs I wasn't satisfied with the end result. Hence currently I'm exhausted and focusing on my actual career. Working on this without motivation is no fun and feels more like a burden. I hope you understand. Surely I'll make a better one, both in design and functionality

all good! (:

i know, software maintainership can feel like a burden, but don't let that get to you! you made something that made my life better, and i'm happy for that. beyond that you didn't promise anything (at least not to me :).

take care and take your time!
