Question: Is todo.txt support on the development radar?

[stavarengo]

Hey 👋 I recently discovered your app on the Play Store, and it looks amazing. Thank you for creating it!

I searched through the repository for mentions of the todo.txt format but couldn't find any references. So, I thought I'd reach out to ask about it.

I'm not suggesting a full implementation of the todo.txt format, since there are already great apps for managing todo.txt, including some excellent ones for Android like simpletask and todo.txt-android.

However, what are your thoughts on having an option to indicate the location of a todo.txt file, allowing the app to loaded tasks from there? Additionally, once tasks are completed within the app, they could be automatically marked as done in the todo.txt file.

Some apps, such as Sleek, even support setting the expected Pomodoro count for a task via the attribute pm:, where pm:2 would mean two Pomodoro cycles.

Just a thought—I'd love to hear your take on it. Thanks again for your great work!

Hello! This is an interesting format. Didn't know about it. But it seems more suitable for the todo app than the time tracking app. Seems a little bit counterintuitive to use TODOs as activity records. Not sure how to use it properly for activity tracking.

Oh if I understand correctly, you want to add pomodoro support for your workflow, for todo apps which may not necessarily have any notion of it?

I suppose we would have to define your desired workflow for this

• what should time-tracker do with that info? Let's say you give it a CSV file of your tasks? Add tags to certain tasks, so you can...IDK, track them easier, so I would know "took out the trash" was a task I worked on for 20 minutes
• Is it useless if the feature is not made to be automated or actionable, or am I really going to go in here every...day (I assume), to import records?

Perhaps I misunderstand, but you have piqued my interest.

(p.s. this app is terrific, nice work @Razeeman ..it is rare to find apps that are so clean, just work, but have nice feature adds)
