Tasks

Tasks

Tasks is a simplistic Go webapp to manage tasks, I built this tool to manage tasks which I wanted to do, there are many good kanban style boards, but I felt they were a bit too heavyweight for my taste. Also I wanted to learn the Go webapp development.

How to use?

Via script: bash install.sh

This will generate the binary and set up the database. If you want, you can copy the binary and the public folder into a folder of your choice.

Manually:

1. go get github.com/thewhitetulip/Tasks
2. change dir to the respective folder and create the db file: cat schema.sql | sqlite3 tasks.db
3. run go build
4. ./Tasks
5. open localhost:8081

You can change the port in the config file

Features

1. Add, update, delete task.
2. Search tasks, the query is highlighted in the search results page.
3. Github flavoured markdown, which enables us for using a task list, advanced syntax highlighting and much more.
4. Supports file upload, randomizes the file name, stores the user given filename in a db and works on the randomized file name for security reasons.
5. Priorities are assigned, High = 3, medium = 2 and low = 1, sorting is done on priority descending and created date ascending.
6. Categories are supported, you can add tasks to different categories.
7. Ability to hide a task from the timeline.
8. For a task list, shows 6 out of 8 tasks completed.
9. Single click install, just run the install.sh file.

Book

I am learning writing webapps with Go as I build this application, I took to writing an introductory book about building webapps in Go because I faced a lot of problems while learning how to write webapps in Go, it, the book strives to teach by practical examples. You are welcome to contribute to the book.
