[Feature Request] Local To-Do / Tasklist

[SplinterHead]

Description

I really like Homepage and how useful it is to have a glanceable look at my services when I open a new browser tab. However, one thing I really enjoy about some other "homepage" windows is a simple To-Do list so I can keep track of the things while I browse the internet

I've had a tinker previously with implementing a local only, YAML backed tasklist that displays in Homepage. It was basic - allowed adding and ticking off of tasks.

I'm just wondering if there's any need / calling for that to continue being implemented

I would like to vote my +1 to this idea. I migrated to homepage from Heimdall and loved the flexibility of the solution. This is now my default page for all browsers and having a quick todo would be a nice thing. Not looking to replace something like Todoist, but something oriented to my servers would be fantastic!

I came here searching for this. Whether it's something simple and built in or connected to another service would be great.

Also just came here looking for something like this or a widget / intergration what does this.

Integration with Todoist via their API would be amazing.

FYI I was able to get Todoist linked and running using the iframe widget (which is not yet released, but most likely will be soon)

As a note to anyone following or considering implementing this: the only viable solution to this at the moment would be something that integrates with an external service. Homepage does not (and probably wont, certainly not any time soon) have any kind of persistent storage and we're not open to writing to the yaml files, so theres really no good mechanism to do this at the moment.

Unfortunately, of course, there are a majillion todo apps out there, but I think that would be the only real tenable approach for now.

Open to discussion about it, of course.

Just another note here: this should be a self-hosted service. There are too many out there to use a commercial one.

Maybe something that integrates with a service like vikunja then?

Honestly speaking, I don't think todo integration is needed if you've already got a dedicated service running - said service's actual interface would surely be much better too...

[shamoon]

Im a big fan of https://planka.app too, though vikunja looks to be much more active (lately)

Probably would be fine to more than one of them

[mysticfalconvt]

I would love something that integrates this with Vikunja so that I could just see the todo list at a glance, and bonus points for at least being able to check items off.
Maybe I should look into the code for the first time.

Is it possible to organize something like this? For example, it would be easier for me to use the notes on Synology. I can change them from my phone without any problems, mark them and delete them. Is it possible to somehow connect and output a specific note from Synology? one line is one task for example

I am a bit interested in integrating Todoist API as a widget. Iframes are fine but having a list view would fit nicely under Homepage. I might give this a shot!
Although this would be my first time contributing to a project, I feel comfortable handling the API, but any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[SplinterHead]

It seems like there's plenty of want for a todo list
Following @shamoon 's suggestion of Self-hosted, I will start looking at making a Vikunja Service Widget

As long as it's up to scratch, would a read-only Service Widget contribution be accepted @shamoon?

[shamoon]

Yea that sounds great

[eugen257]

Maybe for starters, something simple, where you don’t need to sign up or register. I made a couple of clicks on my phone, marked or created a task and it is immediately displayed

[eugen257]

The simplest thing for me is Synology Notepad or Apple Notepad.

Just started out using planka and came here looking for a widget. For me, having a overview for a particular project>board (e.g. how many tasks are due this week, how many this month and how many past due). Interested in seeing the Vikunja widget, as I've only just heard of Vikunja, now that I've deployed planka -- go figure :-p

I tried integrating ToDost via n8n (which would open up the CustomAPI to all kinds of other APIs without having to write and deploy middleware code):

The problem though seems to be that Homepage doesn't support displaying lists from a JSON array as retrieved by the Custom API (see here), so the result is kind of not so nice right now:
