Hey guys, version 3.0.0 of Tasks.md just got released. This is the largest update so far and includes several new features. I’ll list the most important ones below.

Tasks.md is a self-hosted, Markdown file based task management board. It’s like a kanban board that uses your filesystem as a database, so you can manipulate all cards within the app or change them directly through a text editor, changing them in one place will reflect on the other one.

The latest release includes the following:

  • Add support for checkboxes;
  • Add different view modes (extended, regular, compact, tight);
  • Add due date;
  • Use tree structure from root path for multiple boards;
  • Sync UI with filesystem changes done outside the app;
  • Ignore lanes and cards whose names start with dot;
  • Add copy button to code blocks;

Inspired by this blog post, I included a “This is a low maintenance project” segment in the README, which means that this was the last big update the project will receive and I’ll no longer work on new features, expect for maybe some that were already previously discussed in the issues page.

If you decide to try the app, feel free to open new issues in the repo for any problem you may encounter, this release came with a lot of new stuff so there is always a chance that it introduced new bugs (but hopefully it didn’t, I tested it a lot before pressing the “new release” button).
