TaskMaster

Master your tasks

See legacy for an old CSV/pyshelve type thing. The new stuff is all SQL DB with RESTful API.

API

• /tasks/
  • GET
  • list all closed
  • single-mode (triage, etc
  • search
• /tasks/{id}
• /tasks/{id}/similar
• /tasks/{id}/action
  • close
  • duplicate

Modes

A key new concept here is the idea of "modes" - we don't want to see all our tasks all the time; we want to be able to focus and only occasionally triage, schedule etc. Here are some steps in the lifecycle of a task:

1. Collect - into system (sometimes with tags)
   • write new (CLI, WebGUI, app)
     • upsert mode
   • import bulk (CLI opts to pre-triage)
     • txt
     • keep
     • csv
   • scan or individual gitlab/github issue
   • send email to certian box (which would then have fulltext and option to send subsequent to cancel -or- tie in with users inbox directly)
   • recycled from closed
2. Triage - set details (anything missing details)
   • anything missing certian details
   • assign contexts
   • count pomodoros
   • tags
   • important/urgent
3. Schedule / delegate (null schedule, not warm)
   • or delegate w/ rewarm for checkbckin
   • say when to wake
   • or stage/warm NOW
   • bulk re-schedule
4. Stage (past wakeup)
   • frog
   • "warm tasks"
   • execute/cycle/close/triage
5. Execute (warm=true)
   • live
6. Close (append close)
   • recycle
7. Others...
   • assign
   • follow up
   • status report
