tasks / docs Goto Github PK

The URLs for the "Edit this page" links at the bottom of every page all begin with "https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus" instead of pointing to this repo. I'm guessing this is the config line which needs to be changed:

The Backups page currently offers a limited description of exactly what is being backed up by the app.

The Manual backups section hints at the tasks themselves being backed up, and the Attachments section explains that file attachments are not (yet) present in backups.

It may be helpful if the documentation could answer these questions:

• Will tasks be backed up if they came from or are already synchronized to a sync service?
• Do backups also include your app configuration/preferences?
• Is there a situation in which restoring a backup might overwrite your current tasks (i.e. is importing a backup destructive)?

Hey @abaker , I use Tasks on Android with Etesync and really like it. I've been a sponsor on GitHub for a month before realizing that you have a LiberaPay account, and am considering moving my sponsorship over there.

My primary reason for this is that I want as much of my recurring donation to go to you (the dev) rather than to third-parties. I'm using the app on F-Droid, circumventing any functional need for a subscription, but I still want to support regularly. My thoughts are:

• Google takes a 30% cut of anything I donate via Google Play,
• Patreon takes a 5%-12% cut of anything I donate via Patreon
• OpenCollective takes a 5% cut of anything I donate via OpenCollective
• Microsoft takes a 0% cut of anything I donate via GitHub Sponsors, but as others have pointed out, this is likely a promotional incentive rather than a permanent thing. After all, Microsoft's primary concern is their own bottom line
• LiberaPay takes a 0% cut of anything I donate via LiberaPay, but unlike GitHub Sponsors, this seems to be a permanent thing as LiberaPay supports itself financially through their own LiberaPay account

As such, from the perspective of someone who wants as much of their donation to go to the Tasks dev as possible, the choices - ranked from best to worst - seem to be LiberaPay > Github Sponsors > OpenCollective > Patreon > Google Play Subscription

Would it be possible to add these considerations to the Donate page? I might not be the only one interested in maximizing the effect of my donations 😃 (I could create a PR myself if required)

I use your Android app along with nextcloud's tasks app and Mac OS reminders app.

For quite a while I'd have the occasional weirdness of them not seeming to be in sync the way I expected.
Tasks I added somewhere not showing up in the other places and whatnot. But it wasn't consistent enough for me to nail down.
However, I mostly use the android app and just pop into the others on occasion.

I asked in the tasks IRC what the sync conditions are and @abaker said:

It syncs every hour in the background, or one minute after any local edits
If you make consecutive changes it will sync one minute after the latest edit

I think this is very helpful information and would be good to document at https://tasks.org/docs/sync

I can open a PR for this if you want :)

Curious if there's any particular reason you don't make the app sync by default when you open it? Or at least if it hasn't been opened in the past X minutes?
I think that this would be the expected behavior based on my experience with most offline friendly apps (Pocket, Reminders, Ticktick, Obsidian, etc)
