Support to load a todo.txt or a CalDAV task list from an external source? #1

Closed poVoq closed 5 years ago

Would be nice if this could be integrated with an external task list, for example a simple todo.txt* from a drop-box/WebDAV or a task-list from a CalDAV server such as Nextcloud.

To clarify your issue - this is a bot with redis-server backend. What do you mean by "load" - one time upload from external txt or use txt files as backend to manage tasks directly in txt files?

Ideally to use the bot to modify the task file so that it can also be used with other software.

There are a lot of things support todotxt over dav if you use its syntax.

Nexcloud/ownclound web interface for browsers. Nextcloud/owncloud mobile clients. And just pretty simpletask nextcloud for Android.

This bot has another purpose - share tasks for few xmpp jids per one bot, and real-time collaborative task lists editing. It's hard to achieve it over txt files.

Also I want implement direct subtasks like 

main task
└──subtask 1
└──subtask 2

which could not be implemented over todotxt (todotxt subtasks can be impemented only via @project concept).

I like your idea anyway as far as edit tasks over xmpp-clients is text-friendly, but it is good to implement it in another bot project.
