- State "DONE"       from              [2025-09-04 Thu 23:46]
:END:
After using my own task management tool [[https://forge.ftt.gmbh/janek/mostr][mostr]] for a while ([[https://barelybuggy.blog/tags/mostr/][development journey]]),
I soon hit its limits again:
As a command-line REPL only application so far,
its view modes are very limited.
Like with other task managers I tried over the years,
it soon got clogged up with unrelated tasks always somehow visible together -
relevant with irrelevant subtasks, important projects next to undone chores.
I ventured into solutions for that with the "Quick Access" section,
which basically uses a frecency algorithm already.

But the real solution will be a proper full-featured interface with different view modes
in combination with algorithmic priorization,
which I outlined in my [[https://files.ftt.gmbh/s/QF9zq3syAcsgztA][Bachelor's Thesis]].

So for a while,
I ended up jotting down tasks on my new Ratta Supernote Nomad
and into Telegram (I know, not secure!).
Now I finally set up Nextcloud Tasks in combination with iOS Reminders,
which allows surprisingly seamless integration,
since I maintain some Apple devices
next to my lovely Arch Linux Framework laptop.
This is great for quick things on the go.

For projects and work tasks,
[[https://vikunja.io/][Vikunja]] is serving us very well after Konrads great work of the last years -
whether colored Kanban or quickly adding hierarchical lists.
Since Vikunja is also implementing CalDAV,
I might [[https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/475][soon]] be able to skip on Nextcloud Tasks altogether.
