reminder's Issues

Correct year for DD-MM shortcut for due date

If DD-MM is falling before now in the current year, then automatically select the subsequent year.

Additionally make an option selectable by entering its sequence number

Auto image build and push

Currently, the script build_image.sh is manually used to build and push docker image from the latest code. This needs to be automated.

Create automatic backups

Rather than leaving it to the user to take manual backup, take automatic backups once in every 24 days (upon start).

We may need to register last backup date in the data file.

Issue with by default JSON getting set as HTML Safe

For context,

Refer https://github.com/goyalmunish/reminder/blob/master/internal/model/reminder_data.go#L33

func (reminderData *ReminderData) UpdateDataFile(msg string) error {
	// update UpdatedAt field
	// note that UpdatedAt of a whole ReminderData object is different
	// from corresponding field of each note
	reminderData.UpdatedAt = utils.CurrentUnixTimestamp()
	// marshal the data
	// Refer https://pkg.go.dev/encoding/json#MarshalIndent
	// Note: String values encoded as JSON strings are coerced to valid
	// UTF-8, replacing invalid bytes with Unicode replacement rune. So
	// that the JSON will be safe to embed inside HTML <script> tags, the
	// string is encoded using HTMLEscape.
	byteValue, err := json.MarshalIndent(&reminderData, "", "    ")

Functionality to tag certain notes a "main project" and get summary

In day-to-day work, you take care of some main projects (let's say "main projects") and some incidental things.

When these main projects go beyond a certain number (for example, in my case around 5), you tend to forget about what's the current status and next action item for each individual project. In the case of the reminder app, if we associate a project with a "note", then comments under it are more like transactional records (or data streams). But, at each moment what you also need is a summary (or data table). We need functionality to get this summary without having to read through each transaction.

Marking current recurrent items as done

Need to figure out a way to mark "done" the current recurrent (monthly/annual) note as done. ATM, even if it is done for the current cycle, it remains visible in "Approaching due date".

One way is to add another field "CycleStatus" with a dictionary of status and date. This can be used in visibility logic for repeated tasks and will be overridden every time it is set.

Fix brew tap integration via GoRelease

Fix sync issues

Look at the cases, where tags/notes don't get updated unless we go up a level and come back. Need to fix them.

Filter all pending notes

ATM the search functionality is not able to filter pending/done notes. Rather than "Done Notes" (and additionally "Pending Notes") it would be nice to bing able to filter them via "Search Notes".

Try AlecAivazis/survey as alternative to manifoldco/promptui

The promptui hasn't been updated for long.

Navigating back and to the main menu

This is required to be made easy and with a theme that works all of the workflows.

Cannot paste multiline text as comment

At the moment the new line is considered as the end of input while providing a note's text or tag's slug. So, if one tries to paste a multi-line text, only the first line is captured.

Bug: Some unknown changes in program causing data file to be recreated

Yet, unsure about what is causing it.

Add functionality to clear the due date.

Currently, once the due date is set, it can only be updated, by cannot be cleared. By providing a blank date, one should be able to clear the existing date (but at present, it raises an invalid date exception).

Relook at design and performance

I just worked on it to pick up GoLang. As it is all up and running now, need to relook at its design, data structures, and algorithms, to make it better.

Work on fluidity of the interface

Currently, in a small window size, the output overflows and doesn't look good. It would be better to truncate the text based on the terminal window size.

Add support for Versioning and Releases

Add support for versioning and releases.

Review by Josephine

Following are points suggested by Josephine in her review 🙏:

• Would like to skip the user email prompt (so empty input should be valid) Done
• User email prompt behaves unexpectedly when repeatedly entering empty input, e.g. output displays multiple times Done
• When navigating on any menu, it keeps playing a sound https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BamdOA-8GcsTJwSkZuI4u1VKGOwf0ksY/view?usp=sharing Done
• Note comment timestamp in epoch milliseconds, would be nice to have it in readable form Done
• Would be nice to be able to navigate up one level, i.e. go back. Fixed by #70. Done
• Would be nice to have a way to delete a note and tag Permanent delete is disabled deliberately, but one can soft delete by marking it as "Done", and optionally by adding a comment on reason or something. I'll keep it for future: #72
• Updating a notes tags only allows you to add, not to view existing tags or remove tag Updating tag functionality replaces existing set of tags for given note, also now it shows the current tags (as part of note description)
• After adding a new tag to a note, I’m unable to view the note under the new tag https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t79lxbrI_oDqHvz5ugbET5MQh_p-bjlo/view?usp=sharing Fixed by #67 Done
• No way to filter expired notes Expired notes (the notes which are pending, but their due date has passed) keep showing up under "Pending Urgent Notes" sections.

Mask sensitive information for default mode, and use toggle to turn it off

Handle newlines within text in search functionality

Searching through notes with any of them containing multi-line text, spoils the "supposed to be one-line display".

One idea could be to replace new lines with "\n" character for search display purpose.

Alerts on macOS for upcoming deadlines

At present one has to make use of the "Pending Notes" option from Main Menu to check tasks/notes with upcoming (within 7 days) deadlines. Explore possibilities to send alerts to macOS for such deadlines.

Tasks in chronological order of Due Dates

A paginated view with tasks in chronological order of due dates would be helpful in planning.

Integration with Google Calendar

Getting notifications via Google Calendar would be convenient. Need to first work on this functionality to think of a workflow that would make sense.

Point `reminder` command to a script which reuses the existing container

Invocation of the below alias, creates a temporary docker container when it is invoked:

alias reminder='docker run -it -v ~/reminder:/root/reminder goyalmunish/reminder'

On exiting the tool, this leaves the stopped container. The next invocation creates another temporary docker container. This is something we would like to avoid, but we also don't want to keep a container always running.

Adjust visibility of notes with near due dates

At present, the tool follows:

Note: Following are the pending notes with due date:
  - within a week or already crossed (for non repeat-annually or repeat-monthly)
  - within a week for repeat-annually and 2 days post due date (ignoring its year)
  - within 3 days for repeat-monthly and 2 days post due date (ignoring its year and month)

But, in general for repeated items like bill, they come around a specific date and have a period in which they can be paid. So, it would make sense to adjust the pre- and post- due dates visibility period.

Functionality to delete a note and tag

At the moment,

• tags without any notes are listed as blank.
• a note can be hidden by marking it as "done", and optionally by adding a comment on it with reason. So, this way, a note is soft-deleted (but can be seen under "Done Notes").

Keeping functionality for deleting a tag/note permanently for future.

UI enhancement for "Search Notes" functionality

Add character to the search field, displays a new search field unless the search field is already at bottom of the terminal window.
