anyway #TasksOrg has useful features such as being able to define a "filter" (a query across one or more lists) as its own entity which can have a shortcut or widget on the homescreen.

I have several lists each for personal tasks (such as: routine checklists, repeating tasks, and personal to-do list) and work tasks (general infrastructure, plus one for each major effort domain). I've just built useful filters for these so I can decide what to do at a glance.

so, I spent another fruitful hour and a half or so poking at #TasksDotOrg today, initially just to garden my various todo lists, but then I noticed some unexpected behavior with the first Filter I'd created, and dug into it in order to make it work how I originally intended.

long story short: I succeeded, and now I have a couple Filters working perfectly (I think) which I'd very much needed: an all personal tasks filter, and an all tech-work tasks filter.

#TasksOrg is incredibly powerful software, but it's not 100% obvious how to use it to scratch your particular itch, and it probably won't ever be unless some deep work is done on presets at some point in the future. I'm not complaining that this hasn't been done, the developer has his work cut out for him just debugging & maintaining the software as-is ... and even so, he's now building a desktop app!

anyway, I absolutely *must* do a video on how I'm using the software, because I think it'll help a lot of people get started with one of the few comprehensive #CalDAV tasks solutions available for Android, and soon for desktop.

had a task in Tasks.org to make a Tasks.org feature request for a combined list view, but when I went searching for pre-existing tickets, I learned that Filters accomplish this. so yay for that.

I really need to make a #TasksDotOrg video at some point, especially now that the dude is working on it full time and is building a desktop app. #TasksOrg

the #TasksDotOrg dev shipped a feature I had on my list to request: per-list sorting.

this will allow me to use #TasksOrg as a routine checklist (sorted in arbitrary order) as well as a to-do list (sorted by due date).

just found out that the Tasks.org guy has started working on the project full-time and will be launching a donationware desktop app in a few months! #TasksOrg #TasksDotOrg
anybody out there switched from #TasksOrg #TasksDotOrg #Tasks_Org to #jtxBoard? what are your experiences with it?

I'm increasingly thinking that my comment here on this absolute monster of a #TasksDotOrg issue might be a viable way for me to get back into coding, if only bc I've written so much PHP in my past life that it's gotten to be like riding a bike:

https://github.com/tasks/tasks/issues/1256#issuecomment-3550856765

tl;dr #TasksOrg is *the* full-featured Android CalDAV tasks solution, every competitor is missing something, but #tasks_org is missing a web front end, and no existing #CalDAV web front ends fully support its features.

I'm sure this has been asked, but when and if a desktop or Web app coming for Tasks.org
