Re:Ask HN: Would anyone use a command line task manager? by runjake on Thursday April 11, 2013 @02:33PM (#5533809)
Short answer: No.

Long answer: Code it and publish it. Or at least elaborate on your approach and how it differs from the many existing solutions, such as the TaskPaper-format and todo.txt variants.

If you're really looking for design input, re-read the first paragraph and then we can help you with feedback.

Thank you for your answer...the thing is I want to publish just a simple 2 use free tool that maybe would help others, I am constantly thinking of small tools to develop to improve development workflow and tools that developers need so any feedback is welcomed.

I second the above - get it on GitHub tonight - you will get feedback - esp if you do a show HN and it is always better to code knowing someone is going to read it - you put more care in naturally.

Edit: release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it, release it,release it, release it, release it

I am sorry to the down voters, but my reading of the OP is he has some concerns that people will read his code and mock, criticise or otherwise downgrade his work or abilities. And I wanted to encourage him (her?!) to get over that.

Trust me every time I commit I should scrounge more, imscan every word of a comment for signs of sarcasm, I still do it, I still hate it and I have become a better coder for the feedback frommthe work I pit out there. The benefits have outweighed the costs

My original concern was if someone would want something like this I would just make what I am using better and release it..thank you for your advice
