Ask HN: What kind of TUI would you use if it existed?

Is there a good GTD Project/To-Do TUI? And yes, I know you can do this in emacs. :)

Edit: I thought of another search term after commenting and found this: https://github.com/danimelchor/todui, which I haven't played around with yet, but looks pretty close, as long as it does a good enough job pulling in the to-dos across files+folders.

    Ooooh... you just gave me an idea :). A TUI for http://todotxt.org/.

    That way, there's no lock-in and people can easily use their existing todo.txt to try the TUI.

    I'm looking for a TUI idea to explore Ratatui, so maybe this is it right here!

I don't understand the question, or maybe it's far too broad? Lots of TUIs exist.

    My bad, I'm looking for TUI ideas to build to learn Ratatui :).

    Is there anything you'd like to do in a TUI but can't find a TUI that does it?

    • JohnFen 2 months ago

      Ah, I see. That makes more sense.

      When I want to implement a TUI, I just write it myself (usually by modifying my own preexisting code) rather than use an external tool. So there isn't anything I'd like to do that I can't do. But that's not really helpful to you, sorry.

A block-based visualization of live I/O traffic, like `pagemon -a` does for process memory..
