Meta todo:

• Make mockup of the app with multipart todos (eg. wakeup task)

Based around a concept of "Next" - it tells you what to do next, for how long

Categories: generic, longterm, now, dependent, event

Tasks can have notes, importance ratings, tags

Dependent tasks will move to either now or longterm (it's a setting) when all their requirements (which can be in any category, generic take a certain number of repeats) are finished

Events are either times, pseudo-dependent tasks, or checkboxes for "this is done". Events don't involve actual work on users part, just something happening. Eventually they could form something like IFTTT.

Tasks can contain subtasks, which can be any category excluding events

Tasks can contain a progress bar with either numerical (eg weight) or step-wise (eg completing subtasks) progress.

Uses integrated pomodoro method to have you work for the proper amount of time
Alternate timing/versions of pomodoro method as options
Tasks have an estimated time to finish

Integrate with calendar and use calendar events as todos

Tasks have importance ratings and difficulty ratings. Which task to do next is best on an algorithm that puts important tasks first and spaces difficult tasks between easy tasks.

Todos:

• List of todos
• Basic tags
• Saving todos to file
• Logo ("1.")
  • Redo logo higher quality (centered, ask a graphic designer)
• Times to finish
  • Entering times
  • Converting minutes + hours into just minutes
  • Saving times
  • Displaying saved times
• Due date
  • Input
    • Calendar view
    • Time of day
  • Saving
  • Displaying
• importance ratings
  • Entering
  • Saving
  • Displaying
• difficulty ratings
  • Entering
  • Saving
  • Displaying
• Different categories other than generic
  • Framework
    • Todos having categories
    • Saving different categories
    • Tabs for different categories
      git branch multiple_tabs
  • Dependent
  • Now (just tasks that need to be done)
  • Longterm (same as Now except that Next chooses all Nows first before going to longterm)
  • Event
    • Types:
      • Time (no checkbox)
        • Adjust based on time zone
      • Event (checkbox, something that the user doesn't do)
• Marking todos as finished
  • Button on view screen
    • Text button
    • Checkmark button
  • Checkmark button on list view
• Save finished/deleted todos
  • Display
    • Separate tab
  • Restore
  • Permanently delete
• Next functionality
  • Button to get next todo
  • Maintaining active todo
  • Click on todo name to view it
  • Algorithm
    • Weight todos based on category
    • Weight todos based on importance, time, etc.
• Editing todos
• Saving to iCloud
  • Switch to CoreData
    • Transition to naively save all todos and erase old todos
    • Transition to smart CoreData saving
      • Preserve list order
  • Saving CoreData to iCloud
  • Export/import from JSON for manual backups
• Multiple tags per todo
  • Show list of tags
  • Button to add tag to list
• Date to do by
• Notifications
• Settings tab
• Optional requirement for non-longterm tasks to be a subtask of longterm tasks
  (Thoughts: maybe create a category of “longterm goals” that all tasks have to be a subtask of)
• Repeating todos
• Subtasks
• Numerical work on goal (eg weight)
• Pomodoro for Next
  • Original mode
  • Alternate modes (choose on settings screen)
• Progress bar for numerical / subtasks
• Get developer license
• Ship
• Make repo public
  • Clean up code

  • Option to save todos to calendar
  • Option to load events from calendar
• Varying due time based on day of the week
• Random due time between two given times
• Optional iAds
• Events that rely on other sources (see IFTTT)
• Other operating systems
  • Operating Systems
    • MacOS (easiest, business logic doesn't need to be recoded)
    • Android (Java, Kotlin, Scala?)
    • Linux, Windows (Rust??)
  • Sharing between devices
  • Website
• Public API for interacting with tasks
• Exporting data to DropBox/other services
• Siri integration ("Hey siri, what should I do next?")
