More granular task features (and simple "supports tasks" feature)

2 votes

There is currently no way to filter for apps supporting tasks. I propose something along the lines of:

- Tasks - app supports a stateful abstraction that indicates whether a task is "open" or "completed", that is simple markdown checkmarks like in Standard Notes for example should count
- Tasks => Tasks are separate entities - app supports a basic form of tasks as described above and tasks are separate items (accessible from a different panel, for example)
- Tasks => Tasks embedded in notes - that is tasks live strictly inside a note
- Task due dates
- Task organization => supports tagging tasks (or folders)
- Global Task View - app offers a separate pane for viewing tasks (stripped of context such as notes live in)
- GTW => Scores - a means through which tasks are bumped up or down on a sorted list, based on priority or due dates
- GTW => Hiding- a means through which tasks can be ommited from the GTW
- GTW => Filter by tag/folder/context/due dates - we can keep this one broad

I added a few of these straightaway: the "task due dates" and "global task view," which seem quite obviously useful to know. For the others, would be good to see if others would find these valuable. It's not clear to me what the "stateful abstraction of 'open' or 'completed'" translates to from a utility standpoint?

As far as utility goes, it would be useful to have a way to narrow down the apps that support tasks. My definition was just an attempt to encourage a definition of what we consider as task support (or whether simple checkmarks next to some text should pass this test).
