Hey guys, version 2.4.0 of Tasks.md was just released. The biggest change is the improved drag-and-drop experience, which feels much better to use. For touch devices it was fully overhauled, since it was not really working before (which is embarrassing tbh). You can see below a comparison between the previous version and the current release.

New release:

Tasks.md is a self-hosted, Markdown file based task management board. It's like a kanban board that uses your filesystem as a database, so you can manipulate all cards within the app or change them directly through a text editor, changing them in one place will reflect on the other one.

You can see below the main changes included in the new release.

Feature: Greatly improves drag and drop experience: New swap animations, visual indications and better interactions for touch and mobile devices;
Feature: Adds autoscroll when you drag cards and lanes partially out their container;
Bugfix: Fix touch and navigation on touch devices;
Bugfix: Fix issue where navigation bar outgrows lanes;
Bugfix: Prevents saving card name with invalid characters;
Bugfix: Fix some smaller issues;
Documentation: Remind user to hard-reload the browser after changing a theme.

Very neat, excited to demo this later this weekend. Is it possible to add multiple swimlane groups that can be filtered by tags? That is, not just add a vertical swimlane but add a whole new horizontal group so it’s visually separate with the same vertical lanes, but each horizontal section automatically filters by some criteria.

Right now you can add tags to cards, but you can't group vertical lanes. Though a do plan to add groupings or epics eventually, it would actually be very convenient by its current architecture.

I think Epics would be a great addition, based on how I currently plan to use this.

Does the app support push notifications? Would be interested in this but I already use tasks.org since they support push notifications and I won't take the trash out until right before bed instead of before it gets dark otherwise.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

No, it does not support push notifications yet

If you ever plan to support them, ntfy.sh would be my top recommendation.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah I plan to add it eventually, thanks for the recommendation I'll keep it noted!

For my tasks I use Nextcloud Tasks via caldav. Do you plan to add caldav support? You could solve the problem of missing native apps with this as well, as caldav is supported in a lot of desktop calendar apps (e.g. Thunderbird), and android has the genial opentasks app which uses the same standard.

Yeah I consider adding caldav support eventually, but I need to read about it a little more and experiment a bit to see how much complexity it would add to the project. I really want to keep it as simple as possible in regards to both setup/installation and how it works, so I need to evaluate it properly to see if it's worth it or not

Caldav doesn’t support kanban lmao.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.

I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it's a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.

Obviously, you loose some from the kanban board

This is my point.

Also, isnt nextcloud deck via caldav read only?

Love this,

i'm a silverbullet user, any chance to have some interoperability between them?

the perfect thing would be to integrate the task.md interface in silverbullet, and make task queries return tasks created in task.md.

i would love to see them working together!
