oldtimerza / meerkat-net

Meerkat is a task management application with an emphasis on time tracking of tasks from start until completion using nothing but VIM inspired key bindings.

Hi there 👋

meerkat-net's Issues

Reminder pop-up after X minutes of working on a task

I would like to have a small reminder pop-up show on the screen every hour that a task is actively being worked on as a reminder that the task is still active and to remind the user to either continue working or in case they need to stop the active timer for that task

Hide/Show app using keyboard shortcut

It is not currently possible to hide/show the meerkat app using only keyboard shortcuts at the moment.

I suggest we allow the keyboard shortcut Alt+Space to hide/show the app.

Can't toggle the todo items using keyboard

The todo items cannot currently be toggle using a keyboard shortcut.

I suggest using the Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut to toggle the currently selected todo.

Window loses focus breaks global show/hide keyboard shortcut

Expected Behavior

When the shortcut Alt+Space is pressed then the meerkat window should return to normal size and gain focus to type into.

Actual Behavior

If you click to another window and then press Alt+Space then the meerkat window doesn't return to normal size and remains minimized.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Start Meerkat
2. Alt+Space to minimize.
3. Select another window of a running application.
4. Press Alt+Space. Should bring meerkat back to normal size and focus.

Specifications

• Version: v0.2.0
• Platform: Windows 10

Pop-up reminder throughout the day to remind of incomplete tasks

I would like a pop-up to periodically remind the user that they have created tasks that are older than 2 hours, but have not started them yet.

Can't delete currently selected todo

It is not possible to currently delete a todo using only a keyboard shortcut.

I suggest allowing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+d to delete the currently selected todo item.

Fix publish release github actions pipeline

Expected Behavior

Expect that when tagged, the release will attach the correct exe from the published foler

Actual Behavior

The attached EXE is not the correct one.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a new tag.
2. Download the EXE
3. Check that it won't run

Store todos to a file

Store todos to a local file or small db to allow persistent todo lists on close/open.

Use standard VIM keys for shortcuts and remove modifiers

I feel the original control scheme of Meerkat, i.e using just I,J,K,D,Space to control in navigation mode is the correct way to control the application.

We should revert to using this control scheme as I feel it is more natural and easy enough to understand.

Long sentences on todo tasks are hidden

When long sentences are used in the todo tasks, they get cut off at the right side.

We need a solution to either:

• Change font size to fit all text in.
• Scroll periodically to show all the todo tasks text.

On first focus the first "I" key press is ignored.

When the application is first brought back into focus on the "Alt+Space" shortcut press then the first press of "I" shortcut is ignored.

Only on the second press does it enter insert mode.

Border should not be seen

The window application border is currently showing with it's related windows controls.

I suggest hiding it to give the app a more sleek design.

Save on exit

Save all completed and incomplete tasks to a dated file on exit, with incomplete being marked

Suggestion: Keep incomplete tasks in a separate file so that it can be loaded the next time the app is opened

Track time of tasks

Expected Behavior

We would like to Start and stop time tracking on each todo item so that an estimate of time taken to finish the todo is kept track of.

The time tracking for a selected todo item can be started on an undone todo with Ctrl+t.
The time tracking for the selected todo item can be stopped for an undone todo with Ctrl+t.
Time tracking can't be started for a done todo.
Toggling a todo from undone to done would also stop time tracking.

Progress bar showing the percentage of todos completed

Expected Behavior

Expect a progress bar showing an approx percentage of the tasks completed.

Migrate to .Net Core

We probably want to migrate to .Net Core sooner rather than later to allow for cross platform usage.

App theme and styling doesn't match previous version of the app

The styling of the app currently doesn't match what the electron js version of the app looked like.

I suggest we restyle the app to have a better dark theme that matches the previous apps design.

Update the website to match the new version of the product

Allow organising tasks by ticket codes with :

Allow the seperation of ticket code and description to allow creating sublists of tasks that are related.

We can do this by having the following predefined format:

Ticket code: Description.

All items with the same ticket code will be automatically grouped into a collection.

This collection can be collapsed and expanded using "h" and "l".

Press 'q' to quit the application similar to VIM

I would like the application to be quit by pressing q in Navigation mode. Similar to how VIM can be closed.
