The developer is very responsive, lots of UI customization (both app and widgets) is possible, and pricing is reasonable.

1. Previously you would have to type `task report`, `task add …`, `task report` again to see how your priorities have changed. With the TUI you can get live feedback.

2. By default, the TUI comes out of the box with intuitive (in the author’s opinion) single-key press actions that map to various taskwarrior subcommands on single or multiple tasks.

3. The UI lets you as a user run 9 custom bash scripts as shortcuts that can extend features without changing the source code.

There are a few things not so good about it though.

1. Everything is accomplished by shelling out to the taskwarrior `task` cli, which has some nuances in parsing command line arguments, and all the corner cases haven’t been ironed out.

2. The calendar feature, the contexts feature, styling features etc are all underbaked or incomplete.

3. This was the author’s first Rust project and definitely needs some refactoring love.

The author definitely recommends reporting any issues or feature requests. He’s also extremely appreciative of the fact that people use the tool and advocate it to other people on threads like this!

For example, my most recent Julia project has the following line:

    windows1252_to_utf8(s) = decode(Vector{UInt8}(String(coalesce(s, ""))), "Windows-1252")

I get that there's some ergonomic challenges around this in languages like Julia that are optimized for data analysis workflows, but imho all data analysis languages/scripts should be forced to explicitly list encodings/decodings whenever reading/writing a file or default to UTF-8.

I just wanted to add that we are welcoming contributions, so if you are interested please join us on GitHub for more discussions, feature requests or bug reports.

If you've built something cool with Ratatui, we'd love to hear about it on Discord or make it part of our showcase pages.

And if you are wondering what Ratatui is, check out our (fairly new) website for tutorials for getting started: https://ratatui.rs/

Happy to answer any questions here too!

Vim has shaped so many aspects of my professional life; I'll forever be grateful to Bram for his work and contributions. Rest in peace, Bram.

I use it for my blog that features margin notes from time to time: https://blog.kdheepak.com/

Though I had to write a lua filter to make the Pandoc margin notes work appropriately :)

There's also `timewarrior`, which complements `taskwarrior` pretty well.

I'm not affiliated with the `taskwarrior` project, but I wanted to say that if you like the project and are interested in contributing, one way you can do so is by donating to their GitHub sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/GothenburgBitFactory. For something that I use every day, I don't mind throwing a few bucks their way, and I figured others might feel similarly so I thought I'd share :)

PS - If you are interested in `taskwarrior`, you may also like `taskwarrior-tui`: https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-tui. It is a terminal user interface for `taskwarrior` that I built in my spare time. The goal is to have an auto-refreshed view of the output of `taskwarrior` where the presentation of the content is as closely styled to `taskwarrior` as practically possible with a "vim-like" interface to interact with `taskwarrior`.

> You are given two eggs, and access to a 100-storey tower. Both eggs are identical. The aim is to find out the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor. If an egg is dropped and does not break, it is undamaged and can be dropped again. However, once an egg is broken, that’s it for that egg.

> If an egg breaks when dropped from a floor, then it would also have broken from any floor above that. If an egg survives a fall, then it will survive any fall shorter than that.

> The question is: What strategy should you adopt to minimize the number egg drops it takes to find the solution? (And what is the worst case for the number of drops it will take?)

I wrote up a solution for this (along with a generalized analytical solution) on my blog: https://blog.kdheepak.com/the-egg-tower-puzzle
