kdnk / roamist Goto Github PK

Hi kdnk,
Non-coder here, so please excuse my ignorance. I love what you have built here and I am very keen to incorporate it into my workflow.
I have successfully setup Roamist within my Roam graph. I believe that I have configured it correctly, but I am sure I will be able to figure that out.
My challenge is with the smartblocks. I already run smartblocks for a number of different things in my graph. In this case, it isn't clear to me how to create the relevant smartblock that will run the process of importing Todoist tasks into Roam.
In your CleanShot I can see that you have 3 smartblocks setup from which to choose which process to run. Could you perhaps help me out by letting me know what these should consist of i.e. what should be nested under each smartblock in order to trigger the process?

Why

I can not find in the documentation if there is any kind of automatic sync from RR to TD. What happens if I mark a task as completed in Roam?

What

I can see from the documentation that RR can be updated with the `sync-completed

But I do not understand if it happens in the other way around.

As well, if I erase any task in RR or TD, does it disappear? I am worried I will end with two not sync todo lists

Thanks in advance

Why - I have carefully followed installation instructions multiple times, but the extension doesn't work.

• I have checked re API token
• added some test tasks for today in Roam
• logged out of Todoist and logged back in
• set a filter for Today's tasks - today | overdue
• found the [[roam/roamist]] page and saw my filter there
• ran the filter on DNP jj - Roamist -- pull today's tasks
• got error message: Failed - pull-tasks. Error: TodoistRequestError: Network error (see screen shot attached)
• The same happens if I try other SmartBlocks related to Roamist
• I am not a tech person, but a somehwat geeky social worker, so this could be user error, but I've combed through your documentation and tried to find an answer elsewhere before setting up this issue.

Thank you!
Silvia

What

Screen shot of error message:

Screen shot of test tasks created in Todoist

Why

I carefully followed installation instructions, but the extension is not working. See attached screenshots.
This is what I did:
-signed out of Todoist and quit app; restarted both Todoist and Roam
-installed Roamist, entered API token, set up two filters today | overview and "view all"
-on DNP, ran jj - Roamist - pull Today's tasks (also tried other Roamist filters with same result)

• see screenshot below for error message received. It was working (moving circle) and then gave the error.
• please note: I am not a tech person, but rather a somewhat geeky social worker a bit out of her comfort zone. However, I have tried to research this issue and uninstalled/reinstalled several times. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, because I am assuming it's my error.
• Thank you!

Hey there @kdnk , amazing plugin you're writing here !

I wanted to challenge you to shift your focus onto writing this to Logseq which is open source but has the benefit of automatically assigning an ID to each block.
Some ideas this could work over at logseq:

You can assign it via page properties or alternatively track the UUID you just have to make sure to persist it via the logseq.editor.upsertBlockProperty api.
And I believe most apis give a specific block if
You just need to store a dictionary somewhere of the blocks and their corresponding uuids.
You can either store it in settings or using the file system api to save a json or something

Options

For Todoist

• keep task on Todoist
• filter

For Roam

• show date
• show project name
• Label

Why

When using Todoist mainly as the capturing tool, and then managing tasks within Roam, the task priority assigned in Todoist could become unnecessary in certain workflows. This is also due to not being able to sync changes to priorities between the platforms once the task has been created in Roam. Having the option to include/exclude the Todoist assigned priority would serve to tidy things up for those not using it, ensuring process efficiency of the workflow.

What

Consider creating a selectable option within the configuration page that allows one to enable/disable the importation of Todoist assigned priorities.
Priorities cannot not be disabled in Todoist, but perhaps, the data to be imported into Roam can be optionally selective?
