Built a local-first Kanban board with Tauri (Rust + Svelte) after getting frustrated with SaaS tools and basic offline options. Stores data in JSON files you control, full keyboard-first UX, parent/child tasks, release management, and it's blazingly fast with localStorage + background sync. No telemetry, purely local. Curious what others prioritize in personal task tools. Seems like there's a gap between "todo.txt" simplicity and Jira complexity.

Cool. Love Tauri. So the whole board dataset is stored in localStorage? If you get to a point where the size limitations or synchronous blocking operations are an issue might consider using IndexedDB. There is a nice higher level wrapper around it called Dexie that has full TS typing support and a nice async API. https://dexie.org/

I’m still using redmine. It allows me to create a project, break it down in to tasks, assign time estimates for the tasks, assign % complete, log time against tasks, which then allows for burn down charts so I can see if I am on track or behind. With time logged against projects I can generate timesheets and invoices. It also has Gantt chart which is handy for initial project planning meetings.

I wanted to build something like that. It would be great if I didn’t have to. Any link to follow?

I’d love even a screenshot! Neat.

Have you tried Infuse?

Same!

To relive that nostalgia, I found myself searching for and purchasing the comic on eBay, as I had long misplaced my original copy during all my moves. I’d like to say that it retained its charm after nearly 40 years, but alas, that was not the case.

That would be very kind, if you still have it available. I have been on the fence - skeptical as is my nature, but I wonder if I am in the wrong here :)

Here you go

Hope you see this!

Very kind - thank you! I think I was a bit late or it expired. But it did prompt me to set up an account which I had been putting off. Haha, now off to explore Kagi with my 100 searches to see what it has to offer.

Dear, this was gold.

Or at a University.

Sadly, I was at the receiving end of this. FWIW I don’t work at a tech company, but rather at the IT department of a University in Florida.

Are ya me? Yet another of my favorites to rewatch and find something new to love, and set me on a path to pondering the central premises.

I find myself going back to rewatch the movie over and over again, hoping to capture the emotions I experienced during the first time I ever watched it… and it doesn’t disappoint.

Love the setting, the casual nature of the gathering, and how it draws you in with the premise, and always leaves the imagination running wild.

Read "all men are mortal"

Well FWIW, I had a Fitbit stolen at Heathrow (UK) in a similar manner, back when Fitbits were still novel.
