Ask HN: What do you wish someone would build?

Re:Ask HN: What do you wish someone would build? by mbrock on Friday April 29, 2016 @01:47AM (#11593961)

Personally, my mental to-do model consists to a pretty large part of recurring tasks with more or less vague "deadlines."

For example, at home, taking out trash, watering plants, stocking up on groceries, paying the rent, etc.

However, almost all to-do systems seem to be aimed at scheduling one-off tasks.

So I would like the to-do system to more accurately model my real to-do model, which would probably mean having a special item type for these circular, Sisyphean tasks.

I use Toodledo [1] for this, especially for the recurring tasks. There are even different ways to define how it recurs, eg taking out the trash might be every Wednesday, but watering plants might be "2 days after I last completed it". When you complete the task, it automatically enters the next recurring task for you (and hides it from you until the appropriate day).
