Hey selfhosted community,

Around a year ago I started a new project called Tasks.md, which is a self-hosted task management system that aims to be simple and easy to install. I also made this reddit post to share with the community.

Yesterday I released the version 2.0.0 so I thought it would be a good time to share it with the community again. The new version includes some previously requested features, some features that no one requested but I thought would be nice to have, simplifies the initial setup, improves documentations and some other things.

You can find it here: https://github.com/BaldissaraMatheus/Tasks.md.

Main features:

  • Create cards, lanes and tags in a modern and responsive interface;
  • Write cards as Markdown files;
  • Easy to install with a single Docker image;
  • Light and dark themes synced with operating system settings;
  • Heavily customizable with 3 default color themes (Adwaita, Nord and Catppuccin);
  • Support for subpath based reverse-proxy with an environment variable for base path;
  • Can be installed as PWA (though it requires setting up https).

Not something that I need but absolutely beautiful UI and congrats on the 2.0 release!

This is great! Why not turn it into a Desktop app via Electron or a similar solution? Since it stores everything as plain text files a desktop app would be great because people could just download it and use it standalone (easier than docker + browser) and sync files between machines using some cloud service or Synching.

This is a feature for me that makes me inclined to try it. I really don't like Electron.

Is there a reminder/alert system for due or soon-to-be-due tasks?

No, right now there is no alerts and no way to assign due dates to the tasks

If you do, please consider supporting webhooks or ntfy. Look forward to test this!

Hi i like your project and i will most likely start to use it.

i also use silverbullet.md, it could be awesome to have some kind of interoperability from the two.

Hey, I didn't know about silverbullet until now, I'm gonna take a look about it when I have some free time!

Started using it today and finding it superuseful - thanks for your hard work.

Would love to be able to pick different colours for individual entries!
