202207110133 using things 3 as a fancy database

ideas:

  • the things UI is not intelligent.
  • if I want to do things like automatically surface stale todos or return some kind of logbook reflection mechanism (that automatically sends the tasks I did to my journal or something), that could be possible. it’s just not easy to do, but I could do it.
  • things logbook sucks as well.
  • the dilemma is that any additional add-on will not be as clean as the things UI itself, and will add friction (unless it’s completely automated, which is hard because things is a local app)
  • the ideal situation is basically impossible. have to figure out how to get the best of a somewhat shitty situation.
  • alternatively, could use something like todoist, but it just didn’t feel as good. I haven’t found better alternatives for Todo apps yet.
