I really miss being able to organize tasks into an outline (with
arbitrary depth levels), and having an easily collapsible/expandable
view of tasks in the outline (filtered by current context/tags/text
search).
If you've ever used Emacs org mode ( www.orgmode.org ) or another
outliner, you know what I mean. I know that Todo has projects with
subtasks, but that's only a 2-level outline, and there is no
simple expand/collapse outline view on which tasks can be viewed and
edited.
You could add an outliner of tasks _without disturbing any existing
code or data formats or synchronization APIs_, as follows:
create an extra task, low-priority and without a due date, with title
"Outline data", and in the notes field of the task store the outline
structure.
E.g. the structure
Task 1
Task 2
Task 3
Task 4
Task 5
can be represented as the string (1 (2) (3 (4 5)))
Any tasks not mentioned in this "outline note" are considered top-
level tasks without children. If the note is not present, it is
created and initialized with existing
project/subtask relationships.
Then, whenever you show any list of tasks, you add the option to view
that list in outline form, with expandable/collapsible nodes.
Tapping on a task brings you the screen
to edit that task, just as tapping the same task in the list view.
Double-tapping a task adds a new task as a child of the double-tapped
task. You can move tasks around
in the tree by drag-and-drop.
