Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

Note: At least for now I am taking a break from this project. In case anyone is interested in working on this before I pick things up again (if I do) the project's git repository is up to date with all of my code. I also created a package with these changes and put it in extras-devel. If you deal with the RTM API, please take a look at the version of the code in the git repo, there have been improvements made.

After finding out about Zutun and getting some free time, I took some of the code and have played around with making a todo application. Currently it has a RememberTheMilk backend with support for browse, add, edit, and completing of tasks. Its nothing too fancy and has a couple of bugs.

Before doing much more work on it, I wanted to see how much interest there would be in such a todo app. My priorities would be
1. Good finger based Todo app with RTM support
2. Offline Support
3. A purely local backend / other web based backends

I did some looking around at existing apps.

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/gtodo/

At a quick glance only classify seemed to have much work done on it recently and it seems to be fairly simple.

Interested in me doing further development on this (rather than run off and work on a couple other projects I'm interested in also)?

Edit: I've decided to go ahead. The project is called DoneIt and is available in the Garage.

Haha finally a todo application that syncs with RemembertheMilk. After, I gave up on RTM and was happy with GPE + Evolution sync.

Is it possible to get this to also have Evolution sync support (using opensync/multisync as a reference?). It'd be nice to have an application that could do both.

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

It'd be possible, but would be in the third tier of priority for me since, as I've mentioned in the DialCentral thread, I hate evolution :)

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

Haha yeah. The only reason why I began using Evolution was I found that this was the only way to get ToDos to sync. I use to just use RememberTheMilk but it got annoying since if I didn't have an internet connection I couldn't update it or add tasks. But I'd take RemembertheMilk support over Evolution support.

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

I'd take any simple ToDo list manager that easily synched with a simple online one. If RTM is it, then yes, I'd be interested.

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

me too, me too... am really interested in this. I am still waiting for a intuitice quick app - and finger friendly please - so can use one handed or one fingered (not the middle one :-)

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

I, for one, would really appreciate you making this a prioity, as none of the other todo apps really were what I was looking for. Also, as much as supporting multiple backends would be good, that often comes at the cost of not supporting all the features of each backend (like some IM clients that connect to every network imagineable, but don't let you use most of the features that each provide). I haven't used my RTM account yet, due to exam craziness, but if I have to go into the browser to use some of its features, that kind of defeats the purpose.
Also, one thought would be to (if possible) make the Offline mode also work as a strictly offline pseudo-backend of sorts, so it would be seamless.

Anyhow, I'd be up for testing this after this next week, when my exams are over. Please keep us posted, and keep up the good work!

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

@jaem In my current plan, a good UI will be the limiting factor in what features go in rather than eventually allowing other backends. I find it much easier to design for the present than to guess wrong about the future. I'm also hoping to make offline mode as seamless as possible.

Re: Interested in yet another ToDo app?
 

So this is sad. The fun (as in not fun but annoying) part of starting a garage project is you need to start with a name but I'm having trouble finding one I'd like to keep that has some kind of meaning.

In the screenshot I used "Checkmark" but am unsure of it. Going with the foreign language route I've had Lista and ListaYa recommended.

Any thoughts?

Thoughts so far:

• Checkmark
• SnapToIt
• Lista
• ListaYa
• GetThingsDone

GetThingsDone?

(sorry for the lame name)
