README

        
Should

==

This is a python program to manage todos from the command line. It'll

create all the files it needs as it needs them.

Data format

-----------

Data is stored as plain text, in the same directory as should.py. An

archive file will also be filled with old todos.

 - `@`: tags

 - `+`: project

 - `^`: dependencies

 - `:`: start date

 - `;`: due date

Usage

-----

To add a task to the list:

    $ should.py add "program ALL the things +bigproject @work"

    adding todo: program ALL the things +bigproject @work (id ibeu)

What was it I added earlier?

    $ should.py show

    ibeu: program ALL the things +bigproject @work

    aebb: eat a sandwich @food

Right, but what if I want to see only the bigproject tasks?

    $ should.py show -p bigproject

    ibeu: program ALL the things +bigproject @work

Or all the things related to food?

    $ should.py show -t food

    aebb: eat a sandwich @food

Or just all the things relating to sandwiches?

    $ should.py show sandwich

    aebb: eat a sandwich @food

Om nom nom, and you're done. Now mark it as complete:

    $ do complete aebb

    completed: aebb: eat a sandwich @food

You can see further help with `should.py -h` or `should.py [cmd] -h`.

Ideas

-----

Here's some ideas from my list about shoud, roughly sorted by my interest:

 - New data format (YAML)

 - iCal export

 - Info website

 - Internal optimizations for better data handling

 - Integration with [Trello](www.trello.com)

 - Integration with email

 - Integration with files

Here's the ones I've done:

 - color

 - better command line interface

 - better search (by tags AND/OR projects plus exclusion)

 - dependency management / parenting

 - non-verbose printing format

 - ability to edit / add tags, projects, due dates from the command line
