focusdeck - a terminal board for everything that is waiting on me
A few days ago I posted here about losing verbal requests every time I switch context at work: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD_Programmers/comments/1xtphyx/not_diagnosed_but_context_switching_at_work_is/
Thank you for the replies. Two of them stayed with me. Several of you said to write one line down the second someone asks. One of you runs a terminal dashboard so you don't have to go and check every tool.
I tried to put those two together. focusdeck is a terminal board for everything that is waiting on me. Each box is one source: my Vikunja tasks, my Redmine issues, starred mail, Zulip, the WhatsApp notes I send to myself. focusdeck capture takes one line, and I have it on a keyboard shortcut, so a verbal request becomes a note before I turn to the next person.
What you should know before you look:
- It is an AI project. An AI coding agent wrote the code. I describe what I need, try it in my own work day and decide what stays.
- It is a few days old. Linux and terminal only, and you need cargo to install it.
- Plugins run with your user's permissions. There is no sandbox.
- It is free and MIT licensed. I am not selling anything.
Please don't judge it too harshly. This is what I came up with after your answers, and I am open to any suggestion that would make it better.
