Todo App

[ProgramminCat]

Todo App so you can check and delete tasks and make new tasks.

Adding a todo app to InfiniTime, the open source smartwatch OS, could benefit the community in the following ways:

• Increased productivity - A todo app would allow users to create, track, and manage tasks and to-do lists directly from their smartwatch. This would enable increased productivity on the go.
• Offline access - Unlike relying on a phone, a native todo app would provide quick access to tasks without needing connectivity. Useful when away from the phone.
• Showcase capabilities - A todo app would demonstrate InfiniTime's ability to handle tasks, persistent storage, reminders etc. Showcases it as a practical stand-alone OS.
• Attract new users - The app would make the OS more enticing to users looking for smartwatches with robust task management. Improves adoption.
• Grow app ecosystem - Being open source, a todo app contribution encourages more developers to build apps for InfiniTime.
• User feedback for improvements - Usage data and reviews of the todo app could provide valuable insights to make both the app and OS better.
• Promote customization - Developers could build alternate todo apps with different features like group tasks, file attachments etc.
• Potential UI/UX improvements - Refining the user interaction for productivity features may lead to UI/UX enhancements for InfiniTime overall.

In summary, by contributing a todo app, developers can add a much-desired feature, demonstrate InfiniTime's capabilities, attract users, grow the app ecosystem, enable improvements, support customization, and drive UI polish - ultimately benefiting the entire open source community.

How would you add tasks? Bluetooth-keyboard?

Via a companion app

[Boteium]

There is a PR for a gallery app that is capable of reading txt files.
You can save your todo list as a txt file and view it on the watch.

However, no companion app support editing files via Ble filesystem for now.
Currently, you'll have to edit the file and then craft a external resource zip file before you can flash it using the companion app.
I think only ITD has the ability to download and upload file directly without building a zip file first, which is still not very user friendly
even with a helper script to sync the file automatically.

So, I would argue that the challenge here is to build a todo list editing function on the companion app side.

what about one of those goofy flip phone keyboards ?

A Thumb-Key like keyboard would work better than a t9 layout if the touchscreen issues were fixed imo.
I can do up to 25wpm on my phone with it.
