Why I’m ditching Notion’s comfy to-do list to build my own TUI-based task manager
After calling it a day on Neovim and my lovely Linux terminal. I go to Notion and touch my mouse. Immediately, it feels like: “NO! I’m not being a 1x dev.” Clicking through all my completed tasks, I feel like neehhhh. I need to make something revolutionary! Let me build my own TUI-based TODO (yes… the TODO app).
TL;DR (If you’re skimming)
So yes, having the same motions like h, j, k, l for navigation in normal, visual, and insert modes, I’ll be making something similar. That’s it.
At first, I thought I’d make my TUI connect with Notion via their API. But before diving in, I checked out some Reddit responses about the Notion API which....., of course, were shitty. So I decided not to tie my million-billion-dollar idea to a crappy system.
I found a library called Blessed and started building the same project.
The work is still in progress, so if you know of any better libraries, please DM or email your younger brother. Thanks!
