Sync with android phone about taskbook HOT 6 OPEN

So although something like this seems great to have I agree with @kalexmills that it does seem to change taskbook to something much more than just a simple cli app. There are ways you can actually do this now if you were willing to go through some setup. First you have to handle syncing. This can be done by editing your taskbook config to save the data into a directory you back up with something like dropbox or google drive. Then you have to sync that directory to your phone. Second you need to install a terminal app like Termux on your android phone and use that to setup taskbook there as well. This whole setup is not ideal but it does function as a workaround.

If you do decide to setup taskbook on your phone in Termux you will probably need to follow a fix mentioned in this npm issue (npm/npm#19265) to be able to globally install things in npm.

Thank you for the reply and advice. Perhaps someone more adept at programming than I might consider creating an android app that would sync through Dropbox or Google Drive.

This would be perfect if I could see and edit the same tasks on my phone.

I don't know how this could work but sounds good. 👍

A way to export this so that it can be imported into a todo.txt compatible app better still would be an app for this application.

I am trying to export tasks data as a raw file. But the problem is that storage file is JSON format. So that anybody converts that for to any formatted file. (e.g: csv, pdf, image).

Hey, i created a fork of the taskbook project and started to continue development. I implemented a duedate functionality and the possibility to use google firestore to sync task across all devices. Maybe you want to have a look.

I also started to develop an app with flutter to use taskbook also on the way, but thats in an early phase.

Since this is a strongly Dev oriented project... It would not be easier instruct the user to save the local Taskbook file in a Git server (GitHub or GitLab for sure) and then build an app that just download the file from that repo and print it beautifully in a mobile screen?
