My Hack Upstate Idea

Basically, write an app to fix the dropbox syncing problem of todo.txt. The idea is to write a service that has standard CRUD operations for each item, and integrates well with todo.txt projects and contexts. Also, there probably should be a frontend of some sort for the whole thing, ala bootstrap.

Reference: https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/The-Todo.txt-Format

NOTE: date is only set once items are completed

Outputs the full todo.txt file.

GET /items

(A) Thank Mom for the meatballs @phone
(B) Schedule Goodwill pickup +GarageSale @phone
Post signs around the neighborhood +GarageSale
@GroceryStore Eskimo pies

Outputs all items that match the selector(s). These can take the form of:

• @context - search for all items with a context of @context
• +project - search for all items with a project of +project
• text - search in the item body for text (not case sensitive)

GET /items/@phone

(A) Thank Mom for the meatballs @phone
(B) Schedule Goodwill pickup +GarageSale @phone


GET /items/@phone/mom

(A) Thank Mom for the meatballs @phone

Adds a new item. The request body should contain the list item in todo.txt format.

POST /items
@GroceryStore milk

{
  "status": "OK",
  "method": "create",
  "msg": "Added new todo item: @GroceryStore milk"
}

updates item with the specified id (the _id)

deletes item with the specified id (the _id)

• destroy (Not implemented yet)
