progressbar v.1.0.0-beta 😄🍾

This is the first working release for adding a dynamic progress-bar to your tasks!

progressbar in chrome

As this is my first ever python programm it may contain bugs and stupid mistakes - but! it should work.

Features

  • uses unicode symbols for cross-platform support
  • adds progressbars lists, sub-lists and individual tasks based on ratio total subtasks vs. done subtasks

Ubuntu

I'm currently activity running the python files on a Ubuntu webserver inside a cronjob to continuously update my tasks without any problems.

Windows

I tested the single .exe on Windows 10, 64Bit only in "manual mode" by running it on the Command Prompt.

Usage

Prerequisites

  • You'll need a Todoist premium account
  • You'll need your api-token
  1. login into Todoist web
  2. Go to Todoist settings under config menu (top right gear icon)
  3. Select Account tab
  4. Copy the API token value
    (or see: Getting access token)

  • sudo apt-get install python3-pip
  • download todoist-progress.zip from releases page or git clone git@github.com:6uhrmittag/todoist-progress.git
  • cd todoist-progress/todoist-progress/ (or: the directory with todoist_progress.py)
  • sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  • echo -e "[config]\napikey=YOURAPIKEY-WITHOUTH-ANY-QUOTES" >> config.ini
  • add a label named trackprogress to each list/task you want to track (only to the "top" task in the list)

usage Windows

unfortunately the windows version(.exe) is not as flexible as the "raw" python version and currently just tested under Win10, 64bit (of course you can still use the python files on windows)

  1. add a label named trackprogress to each list/task you want to track (only to the "top" task in the list)
  2. download todoist_progress.exe from releases page
  3. add a config.ini to the same directory as the todoist_progress.exe (with notepad)
  4. add the following to the config.ini:
[config]
apikey=YOURAPIKEY-WITHOUTH-ANY-QUOTES
  1. open a cmd (WIN+R -> cmd) and cd into the directory (e.g. cd C:\Users\username\Downloads\todoist-progress)
  2. type todoist_progress.exe
  3. Done (check https://todoist.com )
