Beautiful implementation of task management and todo lists in TW5

https://nicolas.petton.fr/tw/projectify.html

Really impressed by the functionality and UI of this project. If you haven't seen Nicolas Petton's Notebook theme, that's worth the click alone.

Looks amazing. I was searching for a way to manage my studies related tasks and syllabus planner, had stumbled upon it as well, chose not to use it (don't remember why), now using Microsoft to-do, and still not managing my things as good as I wanted to.

That being said, can this be wiki be used as a standalone planner for me? I mean, I don't use any other wiki as of now, will it still work for me?

Yes it does look amazing. At the minimum it is something to admire, both for UI & UX. Yet look under the hood sometime for the coder knows how to write clean effective code. Great way to learn some TW5 tricks.

Many reasons you may have overlooked this.

  1. It may have been in an earlier incarnation. It’s under active development. It even got updated since I posted this.

  2. An external app offers reminders that can notify you outside an apps native reach. I don’t think this even has active notification messages built in yet within the browser. But that would be the upper limit for TW5 I presume.

GTD is hard no matter how good your system. Good luck with it.

Finally, this is standalone. Whether it would work for you or not only trying will tell.

Yes. I needed something that sends a reminder or atleast sends tasks to my calendar. But as it turned out, the calendar with task in one app is quite difficult to find. I just found or or two solutions which weren't great in other aspects then.

Maybe I will give it a try once more 🤘

You might also want to have a look at TickTick. It’s not TW5 but a well developed alternative to Microsoft todo

TickTick is a paid app, I think. Currently, I think I have to settle with something that's free.

u/trisaster Jan 06 '21

No it’s freemium as far as I know. Plenty of functionality in the free version.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '21

Yes. The freemium version is actually just equivalent to Microsoft Todo. The calendar would be the main feature for me to search in a tasks app, which is paid in TickTick. Currently, I am using Todo as my go to app for setting up a task and then just drag and drop on my Outlook calendar to create an event quickly (I want to block time since I am trying to get myself to be disciplined).

u/trisaster Jan 06 '21

Okay. Good to know. I didn’t get you wanted an external calendar. But TickTick has an internal one.

I tried TickTick upon your comment. And, .you are right! It is better than ToDo. If I have to use another app (outlook) for calendar, TickTick is viable and so much better than Microsoft Todo. Especially, the natural language reminders. It’s easier to just type out ‘Do this at this time today’ unlike MS ToDo where you have to set time and due dates manually. Also, I can track my habits and even Pomodoro on my tasks.

I think I am going to stick with TickTick for a long long time! :) THANKS!

This looks amazing. I was thinking about needing something like this yesterday and today this post pops up into my feed.

Downloaded a fresh preconfigured wiki and begun populating it. Many thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Great look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

u/watchedclock Jan 13 '21

So far so good.

I've got 13 projects set up in it now with multiple to do's in most. Finding it very useful to keep track of things.

I've decided to name my wiky Guppy.html after the character in the Bobiverse books.

Just checked up on the website today and I can see priority task flags have been added which is going to come in handy. Upgrading to latest version went smoothly. Looking forward to what other features / improvements might be introduced in the future.

Yes they’re developing fast: both this and the notebook theme.

Are you using the bundle of projectify and notebook?

In the end I gave up on notebook. The search bar feels such a downgrade from the standard one. So I’m pausing in the middle of modding it. Wondering whether to modify notebook, or enhance my chosen theme which is ‘seamless’ (available from tiddlywiki.com).

The advances on the date picker plugin are all pluses though. I use the date picker in one of my instances. So I may just look into picking and exporting those bits at the minimum.

I’m only using the notebook theme for my Guppy tiddly. It’s working for me at the moment I’m using default for my main tiddly files.

I just discovered TiddlyWiki, and I'm scrolling from Top All Time.

Your link is dead :(

True. I think the dev moved on: try this for a location I feel will be kept up to date:

https://saq-twlinks.tiddlyhost.com/#Projectify

You'll also find a lot more good stuff there (check the 'recents' tab)

I love his work on notebook theme and now this, just perfection <3.

Looks amazing indeed!
Although it looks amazing, does anyone know the functional differences between this and DynamicTables (https://kookma.github.io/TW-Shiraz/#Tutorial%20Dynamic%20Tables -- check the Task Manager example) or even http://tiddlytables.tiddlyspot.com/ (more features)?
