After having productively used taskwarrior for about 6 months in late 2018, I decided to write an alternative due to a few fundamental things that I did not like about taskwarrior:<p>* syncing requires hosting a taskwarrior server<p>* the task table rendering was (and still is) broken[1]<p>* I wanted full markdown notes for each task<p>I wrote dstask[2] in go. I've been using it dozens (hundreds?) of times a day for a year and a half now, maintaining and adding important features as I went. After having used it for such a long time I now feel it's ready to feature on HN!<p>I've tried my best to make the documentation as useful and possible -- see the readme file for the install guide, tips and screenshots.<p>It's stable for day-to-day use and has 90% of the features I need. A notable exception is recurring tasks -- coming soon.<p>For more background on why I wrote it, see: <a href="https://callanbryant.co.uk/blog/dstask-a-taskwarrior-alternative/" rel="nofollow">https://callanbryant.co.uk/blog/dstask-a-taskwarrior-alterna...</a><p>Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate feedback.<p>---<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/issues/2023" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/issues/2...</a>

I had to look up taskwarrior to know what it was all about, and the EXE part made me think it was only for windows at first.<p>But it looks nice, will check it out!
