fekketcantenel/ist

A single-page app that reads one's Todoist task list and displays the next highest-priority task by context.

ist's Issues

update robots.txt

• look online for suggested JS app robots.txt code
• update and commit file

links in comments should always target _blank

implement extra notes formatting

• decide where to place code that sets options
• enable from syntax docs: strikethrough, tasklists, simplifiedAutoLink, tables

make 'no tasks' screen more helpful

Link to Todoist, add projects and tasks
only reads tasks with due dates
'Routine' project

go through and remove unused libraries, jQuery if possible

re-implement suggestmenu link to list, fix so it doesn't summon that task

• un-comment code
• change HTML insertion point so link is outside button
• confirm link to list works properly
• style link

switch to Todoist REST API

https://developer.todoist.com/rest/v1/

add screencap to Ist readme.md

read through code before release

deferring all-day tasks sets a time, possibly because of setting datetime

exclude projects that end with _

• find code where the suggest list is generated
• inside each, check for _ with project.name.slice(project.name.length - 1) === "_"
• on match, console.log() it instead of adding to list
• test, make sure Errands_ doesn't appear

confirm compliance with Todoist style guidelines

From the brand usage guidelines:

• check CSS, confirm red used is #e44332 Todoist Red
• experiment with webfonts: Graphik, San Francisco, Helvetica, Arial, sans serif
• add to readme and intro, application is “not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Doist” in your application description.

deferOverdueTasks() time regex is inconsistent

• reproduce
• look online for regex pattern that catches all time formats
• test extensively

limit auto-defer to 100 requests per batch

show count (nodes remaining) under Dynalist done button in checklist mode

write copy for sign-up page

• keep it shorter than one page-scroll (thinking about an email course for everything else)
• sign up for Todoist
• comments are Todoist Premium, they'll show up in Ist under the task
• create projects that correspond to your contexts (you can always change this up later)
• Markup tips
• embed a link in the name of a task
• emojis
• first project in the list will be 'routine'/'self-care'/'personal' list, overrides others; use timed tasks for routines, dated tasks for projects
• add tasks to those projects, including priority and repeat rules

change "notes" request to pull comments for chosen task

ist/ist.js

Line 21 in 8ebfe1f

let todoistRawNotes = await getAPI("notes");

add Dynalist integration

• change Dynalist preference storage to local; test restarting Firefox mobile, make sure it remembers the chosen Dynalist view
• clone spinner to comments when loading Dynalist
• fix middle-click on Dynalist 'view' button
• fix indent issue on project task, confirm all modes look good

convert all functions to arrow

create spinOut() function with spinner toggle and location reload

read through code, restructure functions

• read through guide and list steps

move "+x to y*7" to below progress bar, add current total

Tried to move it downward while still letting the text live in the same flex-table as the activity bar, but this invariably disturbs the outer dashed line. Would have to append to the activity bar instead. Reducing priority.

implement Github security measures

• finish Github security course
• import sensitive variables from external file
• comment with suggested format if someone wants to set up their own
• blacklist file with client secret etc. from Github
• go through Github files/history and blacklist those with sensitive info

cannot defer item 6/7 days

• pause page-refresh in code
• watch console for error after deferring for 7 days

get list of projects, implement new task sorting

• get list of projects
• sort by 'order'
• check for due tasks in top one
• if none, create menu out of tasks in the others

fix up project list

• vertical list
• make buttons larger
• fix badges
• test on mobile

fix task sorting, sort tasks by date, then datetime

merge "get first routine task" into "get first task"

update overdue-rescheduler to use one big 'put'

is it possible to set default object in function arguments?

implement choosing project, displaying tasks

• on menu selection, set value in browser
• get selected project, display top priority task
• show name of project above task
• make a function to remove session value and refresh
• add button next to project name, clicking goes to delete-and-refresh function
• don't show project name if project's order is 1
• when no more due tasks, go to delete-and-refresh function
• refresh on choosing project from suggest menu

when multiple Dynalists are displayed, dividers stick to top of container

Because Dynalist content is not awaited, the divider gets added before the document. Edge case, so not spending a lot of time on it.

color-code first project button to cue user to start there

• find CSS where project buttons are styled
• style first button to be colorful

fix task defer on routine tasks

• convert all_day value check to task.due.datetime

create security.md file

• on Github, go to Security > Policy > Start Setup
• fill out file based on instructions
• check web for other suggestions
• commit file

use todoist:// links to open tasks/projects

URL is now in a comment in the code within ist.fn.task.js, line 66.

• add a second button for the mobile link
• switch them out, same as the project button
• re-style the button to match the projects list.

Emailed with Todoist and was able to implement project links. Task links are not supported. See below.

Ist only loads if Todoist has two projects

• create brand-new blank Todoist account
• log in using Ist
• test with 0 projects
  • make 'no more tasks' screen more helpful
  • link to Todoist
  • encourage to add projects and tasks
  • first project will be 'routine', overrides others
  • note that Ist will only read tasks with due dates
  • how to word repeat rules
• test with 1 project
  • ist.fn.task.js, line 14, projectRoutine doesn't get set, is order only available after two projects?
• test with 2+ projects

allow Dynalist to start at sub-item

• split URL by #z=
• later, if second half of split is set, skip to that node ID

after post is sent, restore spinner

• make sure it is only hidden, not removed
• unhide it at appropriate spot
• test

change defer menu to expand, display time in hover box

• change defer menu from modal to expand downward
• on timed defer menu, display the time (and date if different)

convert all API calls to syncAPI command

• Switch all API calls (mostly in ist.js) to use syncAPI() instead of inconsistent other functions.
• Todoist SYNC API docs

show message when suggestTasks comes up empty

• in suggestTasksHTML, check if array of buttons is empty
• if empty, instead of appending buttons to #task, append message that all tasks are done
• include link to Todoist

add defer option, 'tomorrow X XM', to timed tasks

• in initial task processing, use regex to extract recurrence time
  • http://regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=238
  • http://regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=144
• add this data to task object
• adapt to existing use case, autodefer
• add new button at top of hour defer menu, 'tomorrow X XM' (use task object value)
• seconds value is time until this time tomorrow
• add three time options so menu stays even, 90 minutes, 8 hours, 18 hours
• test on e.g. dreams and nap tasks

add useful information to readme.md

  • https://github.com/amitness/habitist/blob/master/README.md
  • https://github.com/johnjones4/InBrief/blob/master/Readme.md
  • https://github.com/6uhrmittag/taskbutler/blob/master/README.rst
• add Todoist set-up tutorial to readme
• change Todoist sign-up link to my referral link
• Ist excludes projects that end with _

create intro email course

Ist Ideas document

switch all requests (POST and GET) to use new REST v1 API

implement user authentication

• Todoist docs
• app console (load in Chrome?)
• instructions

• put together OAuth URL
• clicking the Ist button should redirect to OAuth URL (see Ist Ideas document) that grants it permission to access your Todoist
• trade code for token
• store token in cookie
• on load, check for cookie; if none, display setup text
• load setup text from readme.md
• if cookie exists, use it for API requests

on defer buttons, include useful info

• display date (Fri Sep 01)
• show task count for that project that day (separated by priority)

create original 300x300 icon for favicon, Github, Todoist app manager

• copy Todoist icon, change to green, move single chevron and erase some to make a check
• export as 300x300 png
• set as site favicon
