[Remind-Fans] Remind-fans Digest, Vol 178, Issue 2

[Edward Shapard]

Sasa, 

Look into the relative-recur extension for taskwarrior (by JensErat). 
You can find it on github, or the taskwarrior website.

> Hello,
> 
> at the moment I'm using taskwarrior for my task management, but
> looking for some alternative since I definetly decided not to use
> Emacs/org-mode as well as due to taskwarrior's poor implementation of
> defining recurring tasks - i'ts not possible to have a task "water the
> plant every 5 day" and being able to have a new task created *only*
> after the old one is completed and not simply after 5 days - something
> which is, I suppose, possible in some other apps like remind.
> 
> Furthermore, development of taskwarrior is almost stalled...
> 
> I saw that there were several GUIs created for remind, but now it looks that
> etm-dgraham is the latest supported one. Does remind still ship with TkRemind?
> 
> Moreover, I'm still keeping Evolution to be able to enter calendar entries for
> 4 calendars I use and sync with my Android phones via Baikal CalDAV server, but
> I'd like to move (back) to Xfce and eliminate need for keeping Evolution.
> 
> So, I wonder about the differences between remind & etm and whether
> remind-caldav should work with e.g. Baikal that I could bring events & tasks
> from my desktop machine to the Android phones?
> 
> What about the need to have e.g. 4 different calendars, each one with it own
> set of tasks?
> 
> Is remind decent replacement for my needs?
> 
> Btw, I also looked at calcurse which can even sync with CalDAV server and even
> has support for vdirsyncwer, but, unfortunately, no support for multiple
> calendars.
