2 years ago Interesting idea!
I think - while on a first look it might sound strange and unrelated - this issue goes into the same direction: https://gitlab.com/rpdev/opentodolist/-/issues/76
It is about archiving of items. In fact, I think it would play nicely together with what we already have implemented so far:
- For todos, if you mark them as done on the schedule page, their done state is simply set to
true(unless you set a recurrence pattern, in which case this would simply schedule the next occurrence of the todo). - For other (top level) items, which can be assigned a due date, we currently simple remove the due date from the item (so they vanish from the listing).
What I could imagine: If you mark a todo list (or any other top level item) as done within the schedule page, we could simply mark them as archived so they would no longer be shown.
If you would want to see them, you would have to go to the library and then there would be some option to also show archived items (or there could be a new "Archive" folder per library, where you can find such items).
Anyway, do you think this would implement your request?
Because tasks cannot have due dates, I don't envision using them very often. Instead, I'll probably end up creating more libraries, todo lists, and todos. So I will have many todo lists that get finally closed, instead of staying open in perpetuity with new todos getting added. So the libraries will fill up with completed lists.
