Hey guys, version 3.0.0 of Tasks.md just got released. This is the largest update so far and includes several new features. I'll list the most important ones below.

Tasks.md is a self-hosted, Markdown file based task management board. It's like a kanban board that uses your filesystem as a database, so you can manipulate all cards within the app or change them directly through a text editor, changing them in one place will reflect on the other one.

The latest release includes the following:

• Added support for checkboxes;
• Added different view modes (extended, regular, compact, tight);
• Added due date;
• It now uses tree structure from root path for multiple boards;
• Syncs UI with filesystem changes done outside the app;
• Ignores lanes and cards whose names start with dot;
• Added copy button to code blocks;

Inspired by this blog post, I included a "This is a low maintenance project" segment in the README, which means that this was the last big update the project will receive and I'll no longer work on new features, expect for maybe some that were already previously discussed in the issues page.

If you decide to try the app, feel free to open new issues in the repo for any problem you may encounter, this release came with a lot of new stuff so there is always a chance that it introduced new bugs (but hopefully it didn't, I tested it a lot before pressing the "new release" button).

Hey guys, version 2.5.3 of Tasks.md just got released!

This release is actually pretty small, as I focused a lot on resolving technical debt, fixing visual inconsistencies and improving "under the hood" stuff. Which I will continue to do a little bit more before the next release.

For those who don't know, Tasks.md is a self-hosted, Markdown file based task management board. It's like a kanban board that uses your filesystem as a database, so you can manipulate all cards within the app or change them directly through a text editor, changing them in one place will reflect on the other one.

The latest release includes the following:

• Feature: Generate an initial color for a new tags based on their names
• Feature: Add new tag name input validation
• Fix: Use environment variables in Dockerfile ENTRYPOINT
• Fix: Allow dragging cards when sort is applied
• Fix: Fix many visual issues

Edit: Updated with the correct link, sorry for the confusion! The fact that someone created another application with the same name I used for the one I made is really annoying

Hey guys, version 2.4.0 of Tasks.md was just released. The biggest change is the improved drag-and-drop experience, which feels much better to use. For touch devices it was fully overhauled, since it was not really working before (which is embarrassing tbh). You can see below a comparison between the previous version and the current release.

Hey selfhosted community,

Around a year ago I started a new project called Tasks.md, which is a self-hosted task management system that aims to be simple and easy to install. I also made this reddit post to share with the community.

Yesterday I released the version 2.0.0 so I thought it would be a good time to share it with the community again. The new version includes some previously requested features, some features that no one requested but I thought would be nice to have, simplifies the initial setup, improves documentations and some other things.

You can find it here: https://github.com/BaldissaraMatheus/Tasks.md.

Main features:

• Create cards, lanes and tags in a modern and responsive interface;
• Write cards as Markdown files;
• Easy to install with a single Docker image;
• Light and dark themes synced with operating system settings;
• Heavily customizable with 3 default color themes (Adwaita, Nord and Catppuccin);
• Support for subpath based reverse-proxy with an environment variable for base path;
• Can be installed as PWA (though it requires setting up https).

Hey guys, I'm in a looking for an advice on how to deal with a situation.

I play digital piano which is connected to my computer so I can use it with a DAW. The problem is that I live in an apartment located in a very noisy street and it's driving me crazy whenever I try to practice anything. I have an open back headphone that has a very decent sound quality, but it doesn't provide much isolation.

So I was thinking about buying a noise-cancelling headphone for that purpose, but I fear that the noise-cancelling wouldn't work well for that kind of environment (I heard it works well for planes, which is different from traffic noise I guess?) or if I should buy a closed headphone instead.

Does anyone here have faced a similar situation before?
