This reminds me of Taskwarrior but would argue that TaskWarrior is more feature rich and mature since it’s been in development for over 20 years I believe
Is the choice of tasks in the demo a comment on the ultimate futility of todo lists?
Even though Wile E. Coyote executes his tasks perfectly, his plans almost always fail.

Haha, I didn’t think too deep about the choice of the tasks before putting them in, but you’re on to something here.
I tried to design omm to overcome that futility, at least for myself. Having said that, I find it funny that I might’ve subconsciously remarked on it in the demo.

I have n things TODO.
I decide to make a TODO list.
Now I have n+1 things TODO.

This is great. Thank you for building this.
Is there a way to change the behavior? I like to see tasks get completed thru the day. For me return would toggle “done” state for a task (strike through?) and keep the task visible but done. Then at day end I could “archive all done” tasks to clear out the clutter.
Thoughts?

Thanks!
So, you’re proposing adding a third state (“done”) to tasks (as an addition to “active” and “archived”). It should be doable; I’ll see if I can add it as optional behavior via a configuration parameter.

Yes, that would be slick. Then in that mode return would toggle between active and done.
Having a command to archive all done tasks would make it easy to remove the clutter.
Thanks for considering this.

Until I saw your comment, I was imagining something like htop from the title. I guess the name makes more sense knowing it's that kind of task manager. Like a to-do list.
Wish I knew how to write command line tools like this. Until then, there's always Emacs.
Omm is built using the charm libraries: https://charm.sh/
Easiest way to do it any language is to shell out to gum: https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum

@bachmeier Yeah, you can get a lot of utility out of combining tools like fzf, gum together in a shell script.
For more fine grained controls, you can look into TUI frameworks like bubbletea, ratatui, Textual etc.

Hint: TODO lists are just stripped down Kanban boards.
Maybe someone will find e.g. clikan more useful.
