Ask HN: Would anyone use a command line task manager?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5531253For personal use I have a small script that I run in command line while I am coding and that tracks the time I spend on a task and what tasks I do. The thing is I do not really like to use a web service because I do not like to have 2 many tabs opened, I just want to have tabs specific to work(application, stackoverflow pages). Most of the time I am working in the terminal commiting and pushing code to git so I find it easy to also log my work time in the terminal. I really think this is a better workflow than having to constantly switch between terminal and browser after finishing a task so if anyone else feels the same way and if people are interested about this I can improve my little terminal tool and release it.
Edit: based on good feedback I will clean it up and share it...also I am thinking of making some improvements so feel free to request a feature if u want something added...for example I am thinking right now that it would be cool to integrate it with Basecamp and other project management tools like Jira so I can log the tasks right from my terminal, not sure yet how it would work but it is just an idea of mine to make everything more efficient.
