What do you guys think of being able to link markdown’s to-do to actual pop up reminders?
The syntax might be something like this: - [ ] Reply customer email ![remind] today 16 hs
With whatever is after ![remind] would be hidden in the preview mode, except maybe for a small clock icon to show that the item has a linked reminder.
Then at the specified hour, or day, a small pop up would appear with ‘Snooze’, ‘Mark as Done’, and ‘View Note’.
I wouldn’t want to bloat Obsidian, but I think it would add usefulness to markdown checkboxes.
I love this idea. The Obsidian, as it is, is definitely lacking a tool or way to handle/manage markdown tasks.
When using the tool, we may take notes in different context, preparing the next day or during a meeting. This is where tasks will be noted, but there is currently no efficient way to gather all these tasks in one place to get an overview and follow up. A plug-in that could allow to see all our tasks splited into categories would be great and a reminder pop up would allow to not forget most important tasks.
An additional feature for this todo list plugin I’d really like would be a hierarchical structure to tasklists. For example one note with overall tasks and other notes linked to these with subtasks.
Along with mobile apps, reminders for To-do items is really all I need to abandon my other tools forever. Thanks to you all (the many talented minds out there) thinking about this stuff!
Hm. I still see Obsidian more as a PKM/Knowledgebase than as a To-Do managing app. Then again, due to its flexibility, I find myself using and searching - [ ] more and more …
For managing To-Dos, I’ve been using the todo.txt text file format for years, with good success, because it’s easy and portable, and I sync it between Android and several Linux machines.
Without having thought it out, I’d probably like a todo.txt handler plugin, or at least the possibility to simply edit the .txt file format in Obsidian.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel i think a better idea is to enhance existing tasks plugins to export such info into todo.txt file or alike. Tasks plugin or dataview plugin seems good candidates to me.
