    Hello, HN!

    I'm working on a todo app called Tasket. The goal of Tasket is to provide an unopinionated way to create and manage todos.

    We work towards this goal by allowing users to:

    1. create any task attributes they want, for example, status, priority level, schedule date, deadline—or nothing if they want to keep it simple

    2. custom app actions, for example, a user can tap on a todo and move it to a different section—or they can tap on a todo and open a web browser, a phone dialer, prepare an SMS—with more interactions on the way

    I started working on this because I found some todo apps, like Todoist, too limiting, but other apps, like Omnifocus, too complex. I believe Tasket can strike a better balance between easy to use and powerful.

    The reason I believe a better balance is needed is to fight against task bankruptcy, where our todo list ends up overwhelming us.
