The biggest thing I've found lacking in most todo list apps is recurring checklists. The closest I've come to having the feature set I wanted was Microsoft's Todo[2] app, which was based on Wunderlist[3]. Microsoft bought and killed it before I had the chance to use it but it sounded pretty excellent.
I still haven't set up my checklist system but I started to take inspiration from scrum at work to just design a hierarchical todo list system with separate files for each long term "epic" project, and then a rolling todo list that should have copies of the lines from the epic files (all of them have unique ids) so that I can check them off easily. The workflow is still evolving.
Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna be watching your repo!

Right now, I use structured events for all personal projects: https://imgur.com/a/nehojJN but there isn't an overall project status.
Cheeky name.
Lots of good memories playing the game in university.

I guess we all eventually end up building a new DB UI
Very true. I've found Neo4j to be very useful as a note-taking app (or maybe more a mix of a mindmap and a knowledge graph?) and have been meaning to write a UI to better support that use case for a while now.

I do this using a separate "topic" for each of my projects, and "structure" for "Project Work". See https://imgur.com/a/nehojJN
> setting recurring reminders for my list
I actually wrote a plugin for this [1]. If there are no recent "events" for a given "topic", it shows up on the sidebar. As I mentioned in another comment, the original goal was conversation reminders with friends, but I use it for project work too.

I'd recommend looking at the backup files, since they're basically JSON data that can be transformed and exported to whatever else you want, in case you find something better.

I also made an "audience of one" list manager that I've been using for over a year.
It's very specific to my personal preferences (so very different from what you built) and like yours, desktop only.
The original (buggy) prototype, which was static and stored data in the browser (eventually I added syncing via PouchDb/CouchDb) is here: https://bt-apps.github.io/braintapper_radar/
From the beginning, it was never limited to work-related productivity. Examples of things that I've been regularly tracking:
- Habits: Wake Up / Sleep times, Daily Routine items I want to build consistency on, like exercising and meditation.
- Tracking TV Shows, Movies, Books, Articles.
- Meal Tracking, although it does not include calorie counting. I also track my weight, and find that graph particularly useful.
- Birthday / Anniversary Reminders, with multiple warning days to adjust for timezone difference.
- Conversations and Meeting notes, so that I can quickly remind myself about previous discussion when I am about to talk to someone.
I also added custom things like "conversation reminders" since I'm an introvert and needed a bit of a nudge if I have not spoken to certain friends in X days.

Are you planning to make the app usable by non programmer users in the future ?
> Are you planning to make the app usable by non programmer users in the future?
I do not have such plan in the near future. A major concern is the cost of supporting such users, and a minor one is the ease of understanding of the basic building blocks (events, topics, structures) since modeling your data using these requires a programmer mindset.
You are a horrible person. That’s what it says, “a horrible person.”
We weren’t even testing for that.
One of my favorite moments in the game too!
Not that I can tell. Telegram is ultimately a workaround, not a feature. Not building a mobile app is primarily the result of the limits on my time (and to a smaller extent, skills, but that can be solved with time too).
I'm assuming you're on mobile, so later today, I'll try making a separate demo video specifically for this case.
It did seem like for most of you pr demo about half the screen is blank. I think you could easily reduce the resolution by 1/3 and not confuse the demo at all.
