todo

TODO (heh)

A simple yet specific todo app catered to pretty much my own workflow

For now only local storage is supported - implemented with nanobox-io/golang-scribble as an extremely simple flat file json storage. I might get to making it work cross device one day.

Why / Use case / Value Prop

• No web UI that takes some precious screen real estate
• Doesn't deal in deadlines by design
• Fuzzy search

This todo app is quite dedicated to an engineer that gets trapped in 1500 context switches a day - with alerts bubbling up left and right, and million things to "get back to", "when I have the spare cycles".

Now, instead of claiming "yeah I'll do that later" and forget about it into oblivion, you can punt the item into a weight ranked todo list, and churn down on that todo list when you do have the spare cycle.
