Hi. I just installed todo.txt-cli and the Android app Simpletask, after recommendation in #todo.txt-android. I notice that tasks added by Simpletask get prefixed with the date it is added. Simpletask also has an option for due date and threshold date. Are these "extensions" to the todo.txt-format, or is it also supported by the cli, just that I didn't find it?

Hi! Is this an official todo.txt chat room? I think it should be mentioned at todotxt.org instead of mailing list. Submitted a PR here todotxt/todotxt.github.io#28
stumbles across todo.txt, really liked the idea. wanted to implement my own version of it.
I also discovered todo.txt just a few months ago. I guess that the purpose of this gitter is to discuss various todo.txt apps and productivity practices. For more technical questions, github seems more appropriate (https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt).
Hi - I'm looking for a solution which enables me to manage todos in vim but also take notes...I've seen some notes plugin for todo, but it looks like the notes are stored somewhere else and I'm not sure if they are really linked to the tasks per se...any experiences/recommendations?
Hi there, does anyone know about a richer version of todo.txt that can handle 'subtasks' or 'steps to completion'? I'd also like notes/comments on tasks (md or plain text)... I know the point of todo.txt is simplicity but using a format like JSON or CSV could allow more features while staying portable
a nice shell based overhaul
@seanrmurphy_twitter I'm using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) for organizing notes. It's not a simple plain-text system as todo.txt, but they are similar in spirit (offline-first and can be used from a terminal).
adaschma Zachariah Aslam (Gitter): sounds like you are looking for https://github.com/amcintosh/todo.txt-cli/tree/google-tasks-addon/.todo.actions.d
@1Maxnet1 I have written this add-on for myself. It requires hooking into the
do action to apply the recurrence.
Thank you too @inkarkat I'll have a look at that too. Originally I thought of an automation tool e.g. n8n.io that offers a interface for a todo.txt file. In the first step this would include adding recurring tasks once a week to my todo.txt and increase the Priority if they are still on the list after a week. But anyway thanks I'll have a look into your proposals and have a look what I can do with it.
@1Maxnet1 Apparently, there are many use cases around recurrence. What you just mentioned could be done via a simple scheduler / cron job. The nice thing about todo.txt is that its "interface" is trivially simple, and very amenable for processing with
grep et al. The main motivation for my add-ons is that the recurrence only starts when the current task is done. So if I have a weekly task, but I'm on vacation for several weeks, I won't get a lot of duplicate tasks; the currently open one will linger and then triggers the creation of a clone once it's done.
@inkarkat , I agree: while we can do some things via cron, and actually having the recurrence processing done daily in cron is a good model, there are many things that shouldn't recur until previous event is done.
