I decided not to open a new issue on this but is it possible to add notes data when adding a new task?
I mean, this one?
It might be, we had discussed this somewhere and I believe I suggested popping up the system text editor to compare and view notes as a possible implementation.
Does your use case involve short notes like a single URL or more free-form text like lists and paragraphs? Alfred is not necessarily the appropriate input and output paradigm for multiline notes.
I could see something like this working:
An alternative would be to add the task like normal but then go back into the workflow to a "last task" screen on the home screen and add the note there. The task screen would also allow viewing and editing notes on any task visa search, due, etc. So this option would break up the task creation workflow into two commands if you want to add a note.
I think a hybrid approach may be best. Add the note when you create a task but also be able to edit that note via a search of existing tasks.
What are your thoughts?
I would like to update the README to feature some real-world use cases where the workflow makes it a lot easier to add tasks than the Wunderlist app itself. Is there a specific type of task you add frequently that is simplified by the workflow? Please share!
For example, if you use a web site that features a countdown timer displayed like "3 days 05 hr 14 min 33 sec" and want to add a reminder just before that countdown elapses, do you use a date calculator to figure out the specific date and time, or do you just paste the countdown directly into Alfred?
Maybe I should give myself a few minutes advance warning:
I have a feeling there are many clever use cases out there and it would help to show how powerful and flexible the date handling is!
