I couldn't find anything relating to task syncronisation. I wasn't sure whether this was something that had been decided against for simplicity/security.

I like the idea of being able to sync tasks (even if it's restricted to viewing them) with another app, that could enable users to associate tasks with alarms/calendars etc.

Thanks for all of your ongoing work, Standard Notes is an absolute dream.

"Uncheck all" will uncheck all completed tasks and move them back to non-completed tasks. Should request user confirmation before proceeding with action, like clear completed does.

I often add a URL to a page relating to a task but currently these links are not highlighted or clickable.

I think this would be a very nice feature and would make me use the todo editor much more.

Would it be possible to navigate through tasks with the arrow keys?

Current behavior: up and down arrows act the same as Home or End keys, moving the cursor within the currently selected task.
Desired behavior: up and down arrows switch between different tasks.

I noticed that index.html is missing the meta viewport tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1">

Resulting in something like standardnotes/mobile#156.
I noticed that other extensions don't have the meta tag as well. However, your staging code for the demo instance has it. Is your source code here kept up-to-date to the actual source code?

After entering the task in the field, pressing enter on Android 10 doesn't add the element to the list like it used to. It just moves the cursor to the first element of the list

It would be great to have tasks entered in chronological order, e.g. with a setting.

When self hosting it looks for dist.js, dist.css.map and dist.css in the same path as the index.html is, therefore for it to work I had to move the files from dist folder to the editors root folder

I now that this extension is meant as a simple task editor but I still really miss the option to define subtasks. Like right now my editor often looks like:

• Main task1 - Sub task1
• Main task1 - Sub task2
• Main task1 - Sub task3
• Main task2 - Sub task1
  ...
  While this works it adds a lot of redundancy and is not really comfortable to read and navigate. Would it be possible to add something as simple as indentation to simple task editor? Like:
• Main task1
  • subTask1
  • subTask2
    ...
    I think this would really boost the overall usability and usefulness of the editor.

I see that only a lower x is allowed for the completed prefix, - [x], which is defined at https://github.com/sn-extensions/simple-task-editor/blob/master/app/models/Task.js#L4

Would also be nice for capital X, - [X], to be a possible completed prefix too, at least for initially parsing the list.

If I start with this plain text:

- [X] spec/models/some_file.rb
- [X] spec/models/some_file_here_is_okay.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file_here_too.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file_.rb
- [X] spec/models/some_file_here_is_okay.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file_here_too.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file.rb
- [X] spec/models/some_file_here_is_okay.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file_here_too.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file.rb
- [X] spec/models/some_file_here_is_okay.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file_here_too.rb
- [ ] spec/models/some_file.rb

And use the Simple Task Editor, I get this:

We'll need to make the checkboxes tappable area larger, or give it preference over the sorting gesture.

Description

Sometimes if I switch between two Simple Task lists one of the lists is overwritten by the other. So both are then the same. It rarely happens (roughly twice in the last couple of month).

However, it is possible to fix this by using the Session History. See screenshot.

Is there a way to delete a task? I've seen the code for delete task but it seems not to be used. I'd appreciate a button to delete individual tasks rather than having to clear them all.

A workaround would be to have an auto-delete for empty tasks. This I'm truly missing since my workflow includes copying tasks from one document to another via cut & paste. This leaves lots of empty tasks that are very difficult to get rid of.

I currently have the following workflow:

• Throughout my day, I add items to a TODO list of things I'd like to do by the end of the day
• Some get completed, others fall through
• The next morning, I usually check which ones didn't get completed and carry some of them over to the new list

The last part being manual is a bit cumbersome so I figured, simple-task-editor could support me in this if it would have a feature of setting a "due date" for a single task and a separate view of "due by today or any time in the past".

A task from yesterday would then automatically show up in today's view and will be carried over automatically until it is either deleted or done.

The simple task editor works well for simple task lists (hence the name!). Yet I find myself missing the functionality of other plain text task managers, such as TaskPaper. This could also be thought of as a simplified digital Bullet Journal.

Has anyone on the development team used TaskPaper before? Would it be possible to consider a "TaskPaper" extension, as an advanced-task-editor for Standard Notes? It seems like the functionality of TaskPaper naturally lends itself to the cross-platform and secure syncing nature of Standard Notes!

Things that I (think I) am interested in (not a definitive list!):

• plain-text backend with keyboard navigation and shortcuts
• project headings, each with their own list (and sub-lists)
• notes
• completed tasks maintain their position in the list (until archived)
• potentially: @tags

There's a nice User Guide that outlines most of the functionality. It's also worth noting that the format seems to be fairly stable, and has been integrated by many other applications (which is good for longevity)!

There are also interesting discussions for interfacing with the TaskPaper format on macOS and iOS:

• What other apps support TaskPaper’s file format? https://support.hogbaysoftware.com/t/what-other-apps-support-taskpapers-file-format/1114
• Extending the iOS Drafts app into a TaskPaper client: https://leancrew.com/all-this/2018/05/taskpaper-actions-for-drafts-5/
• Editorial support for the TaskPaper format: http://omz-software.com/editorial/docs/ios/editorial_writing_todo_lists.html
• OmniFocus TaskPaper reference https://support.omnigroup.com/omnifocus-taskpaper-reference/

Can replicate with iPhone X.

Currently, it is not possible to change the order of the items after they are added.

However, it would be very useful to be able to so for expressing things like priority. I've got a long-lasting "TODO" list that I continuously extend with new items as well as complete existing ones. However, it is a bit cumbersome this way because I cannot express which ones I want to do next.

Being able to re-order them would greatly help with that!

I have a "Shopping" note on Google Keep with 90 items on it.

To reopen an item I just have to enter 2 or more letters from the start of it and a list of completed items that match appears. Selecting one of those reopens that item.

It is impractical to locate a specific item in the long list of completed items and I don't want to be adding duplicates or have to enter the full text of an item every time.

Actually the entire viewport is zoomable, which shouldn't be. This might be due to a recent addition.

Using the Autobiography theme (similar result for other themes):

I'm interesting in contributing to the project.

Any thoughts on a README.md detailing how to get started with local development and consequently any guidelines on working on new features?

I believe this is a recent regression due to the auto-saving input field (cc @bryvin). If you type "Foo" in the new task input field, then move the cursor to the beginning of the input, then type another letter, it will add that letter, but then immediately move the cursor to the end of the input.

It would be great to have a button "Deselect All"/"Uncheck All". Pushing this button would move all completed tasks back to the open tasks list.

Motivation:
I often use this extension for packing lists, so that I don't forget anything when packing for vacation/gym. If the list is quite long, it is quite annoying to uncheck all entries.

Update README.md file

I often switch between mobile (plain text view" and the task-editor view on my desktop. when viewing on mobile, all my "done" tasks show up at the top of the plaintext view. Can they be moved below the "to do" section so they don't show up first at the top of mobile?
