A nested task chat, powered by nostr!

Quickstart

First, start a nostr dev-relay like https://github.com/coracle-social/bucket

cargo run # Listen to events
nostril --envelope --content "realtime message" --kind 90002 | websocat ws://localhost:4736 # Send a test event

Principles

  • active task is tracked automatically
  • progress through subdivision rather than guessing
  • TBI: show/hide closed/done tasks

Recommendation: Flat hierarchy, using tags for filtering (TBI)

Reference

Command Syntax

TASK creation syntax: NAME: TAG1 TAG2 ...

  • TASK - create task
  • . - clear filters and reload
  • .TASK
    • select task by id
    • match by task name prefix: if one or more tasks match, filter / activate (tries case-sensitive then case-insensitive)
    • no match: create & activate task
  • .2 - set view depth to 2, which can be substituted for any number (how many subtask levels to show, default 1)

Dots can be repeated to move to parent tasks

  • :[IND][COL] - add / remove property column COL to IND or end
  • >[TEXT] - Complete active task and move to parent, with optional state description
  • <[TEXT] - Close active task and move to parent, with optional state description
  • |TEXT - Set state for current task from text (also aliased to / for now)
  • -TEXT - add text note (comment / description)

Property Filters:

  • #TAG - filter by tag
  • ?TAG - filter by state (type or description) - plain ? to reset

State descriptions can be used for example for Kanban columns. An active tag or state filter will also create new tasks with those corresponding attributes.

Available Columns

  • id
  • parentid
  • name
  • state
  • tags
  • desc - accumulated notes of the task
  • path - name including parent tasks
  • rpath - name including parent tasks up to active task
  • time - time tracked
  • rtime - time tracked including subtasks
  • TBI: progress - how many subtasks are complete
  • TBI: progressp - subtask completion in percent

For debugging: props - Task Property Events

Plans

  • Expiry (no need to fetch potential years of history)
  • Web Interface, Messenger integrations
  • TUI - Clear terminal?
