#Todoist shortcuts assign update

Let me know if you have any ideas suggestions for this approach. I couldn’t find the author Dominik Schlund ( on the forums? I’ve seen that there’s also which seems pretty interesting, but is only one-way sync and use a proprietary/private remote API (which is fine, but not what I’d like in the long run). I also have no idea how efficient a sync API could/would run inside Obsidian, although Obsidian probably providers good mechanisms to get updates on (local) changes remote changes could be more intensive (don’t know JS/TS well enough for that) Also there’s no official sync API Typescript implementation (there is one for the REST api), although there are some bits and pieces out there that could probably be used ( like this). I don’t see yet how I could make this could work using an internal Obsidian plugin, but that may be me lack of knowledge of Typescript / Javascript and writing plugins compared to Python. SQLite as intermediary could be replaced with e.g. I’m thinking of using Python as I’ve already been working on updating/rewriting this (old) plugin which builds two-way sync for Todoist and Google Calendar using an SQLite database as intermediary. completing a task) it would sync back to Todoist.

It’s also very easy to use the Quick Add modal or quickly prioritize or move tasks to a project from the inbox (especially with did some fantastic work on materializing Todoist in Obsidian and it works great. I can also easily use search or DataView on those tasks.įor work I’ve been using Todoist because it helps me prioritize tasks, assign dates, sync to my calendar, get an easy overview etc. This especially works well with coding projects that have a mix of ideas, resource material, features, bugs etc. a “project per file” with a mix of - tasks, headings, notes etc.

I’ve been using a very simple task management format of e.g. I’ve been looking at the various ways to manage my tasks with Obsidian.
