My task tracking has, for years, been done in a document of some kind. I currently have a todo list 1300 lines long, including completed items. It's a single Markdown document, full of notes about various tasks. I mark subtasks as "DONE" as I do them, and when an overall task is completed, I mark it done, and move it to the bottom of the document. Unfortunately, it is reaching a point where it is no longer working for me. To that end, I'd like some help finding another solution.
Ideal features:
- Markdown
- History tracking on a line-by-line basis (I'd like to know when I added a particular note)
- Ability to archive completed tasks in a way that leaves them visible somewhere
- Option for long-form notes, in list form or otherwise (I have a few tasks with a lot of details)
- Ability to categorise tasks, but view them all together
- Ability to customise categories, labels, etc.
- Minimal learning-curve preferred, but at this point I'm willing to dig into something new if it fits what I need
- MacOS compatible is a necessity. Android support is an added bonus.
So... Hivemind! What are you using to manage your tasks and projects?
Boosts appreciated. (Apologies ahead of time for potential extra notifications; I may edit this to add more features if I think of them.)
I've seen any number of these scattered about in multiple locations for various purposes. This is the first that I've learned about _this_ site.
(I would classify myself as an expert on 5 or 6 of these topics, but that's a different issue...)
@aud as long as we're repeating ourselves and just pounding the drum, it is fucking _grim_ how much feedback I have gotten on https://blog.glyph.im/2025/08/futzing-fraction.html that amounts to an IC saying that they were
a) happy that I published it
b) bringing it up at work, to highlight problems in their AI programs, and
c) struggling to get management to acknowledge that it might be a good idea to introduce this kind of metric
Tossing this out for my US-based friends:
I have a need for a custom game piece that I hope could be 3D printed. Total size would be about 2.5" long by .75" wide by 2" tall. Need 3 copies of the same figure.
I lack the skills to create the 3D file, so I need help converting a concept sketch to something usable.
It doesn't need to show a lot of detail, but it does need to be immediately obvious what it's supposed to be, after being painted.
Willing to pay a fair price for this.
Suggestions?

Ep185 - DjangoCon US Recap is out!
We're back after the summer break, discussing DjangoCon US last week, Django 6.0 feature freeze, adding APIs to core Django, and Django on the Med next month.

I took it slow.
I took it easy.
I took it with 2 cups of coffee.
and I took it with 2 naps (but *not* while I was driving!)
And I made it home safely by 3 AM.
And all I can think about is that #DjangoCon 2026 is a year away...
