Calendar view #812

Open marier-nico opened 5 years ago

marier-nico commented 5 years ago

In many other task apps, there are views that display the tasks on a calendar. This makes it easy to see graphically how much time is left until tasks are due. I've seen a closed issue here about calendar integration, and thought this feature request was different in that the calendar view would be part of the app itself, not merely an integration with other apps.

As things are, I haven't really seen any calendar apps that boasted support for displaying opentasks tasks. So, I think it would be really valuable to have a calendar view baked right into the app! If this is impossible, maybe there are other visual queues exist that can clearly say when a task is due which could be leveraged.

I'll most certainly implement #603 first. We're almost done with recurrence and this one could be one of the next features. In the meantime we've implemented a great deal of classes which should make it easy to sync tasks to the calendar database. The biggest challenge (for me) is probably to provide a UI to manage this feature.

That's fair enough! I always thought making nice UIs was the most difficult part of an app. Though, if this can serve as inspiration, School Planner has a very nice view (see this example) for the feature I was requesting.
