So, I created a little script that will take a #TaskPaper formatted file and create #jira task, complete with sub-tasks and descriptions for each task. I just need to set it up to create the root task inside a project, and I will be happy.
I had to cobble together a parser for TaskPaper, as the current library (which looks awesome, BTW), was throwing a bunch of errors.
GTD is a collection of relatively simple tactics for coping with, prioritizing, and organizing the things you want to do. Many of the methods relate to organizing your own projects, using a handful of context-based to-do lists (e.g. a list of things to do at the office, at home, while waiting in line, etc). These lists consist of simple tasks. Those tasks are, in […]
Why Emacs and Not BBEdit and TaskPaper

Moving from #things to #omnifocus by building a #taskpaper doc. OmniFocus has some issues that make it impossible to import areas (which would become folders). My (very short) program is #Python and I developed it in a #jupyter_notebook. If anybody cares I can turn the notebook into a text gist and make it available. I do still have to make repeats work.
The only bummer was, there was a really good looking #TaskPaper parser, but i think it was for a previous version of #python. I imagine I could get it working, though.
I ended up asking #ChatGPT to create a TaskPaper parser, and it created one that is good enough.
Maybe I'll use that as a basis for a new one, but i'd rather help the author of the original one get it working.
One thing i hate about setting up projects with #Jira is setting up tasks. It's slow, and tedious, and if it requires any input or approvals from others, it's maddening.
In my quest to work more with #python, i created a script that will input a #TaskPaper file, and create Jira sub-tasks from the tasks with notes.
Wondering if I could write a little desktop application to do the following:
- Parse #TaskPaper text (from #omnifocus)
- Export that project data to a #Jira task as subtasks via their API.
That would be so helpful.
I used Strflow today with OmniFocus, which is pretty good for an interstitial journal. I can quickly bring it up and leave a status update about projects. It is handy when making a phone call and logging what we discussed.
I made two shortcuts, which work on the selected action’s project:
Journal About Selected OmniFocus Project: ask for a […]

Text files are indeed the unsung heroes of the internet, and Taskpaper is a fantastic way to harness their power for yourself. 3 licenses provided by brett:

I am a big fan of #TaskPaper, but unfortunately, the lack of a good iPhone app has forced me to stop using it 
. @jessegrosjean can we even dream about it?
@macstories Thanks for another great episode, @johnvoorhees and @viticci!
It's worth noting that #OmniFocus has a cross-platform plug-in architecture; I use plug-ins daily (I shared some of my favourites here: https://learnomnifocus.com/plug-ins/). Shortcuts support is also good.
Also, #TaskPaper is one approach to a transportable, text-based syntax for tasks and projects. It would be great if most task managers supported this (or something similar).
I’ve refined the way I use the #TaskPaper syntax so that my project and task page overview is a truly useful document in #Obsidian as well as in TaskPaper itself.
The way I’m making it work in both #apps without indented tasks becoming code blocks in Obsidian, is to put a wiki link as the first indented item under the project name. This is usually to the project page in Obsidian, but I use a dummy link if there isn’t one.

Made a few changes to my daily app setup: #taskpaper replacing the old 2Do, #Arc replacing Safari and #ivory the new Mastodon client. I set up a new 'Bunch' to open those when I start doing some writing.
Where are all the #TaskPaper nerds? It's very quiet over on Reddit.
Coo-ee! I'm looking for my tribe of people who don't expect me to speak org or emacs. People who love keeping their projects and tasks in a single document, as simply as possible.
@matadan is doing some interesting things with TP which I'm following with interest.
@bogenschlag I keep all my projects and tasks in a single .md file in my #Obsidian vault. While I'm using Markdown and folding sections to make it easy to navigate, it's in the #TaskPaper format so I can access greater power when viewing the same file in TP-enabled apps.
There's only a tiny number of tasks that need reminders attached, so I copy paste those into my calendar or the Reminders app.
Would LOVE to see a TP plugin!
@kepano , your weekly note is stunning in its naked simplicity!
My notes are #PlainText first, #Markdown second. They're highly portable between platforms, apps, and devices. #macos and #ios are my weapons of choice, but they'd look and work the same on #android and #Windows.
They aren't #Obsidian notes, or #Logseq / #iaWriter / #tangent / #TextEdit / #Nota / #AnyType / #Taio / #TaskPaper / #vsCode notes, though I can use any of those apps as a lens to view and work with them.
They're wild, and free. This is their theme song:
