Hey guys, version 2.4.0 of Tasks.md was just released. The biggest change is the improved drag-and-drop experience, which feels much better to use. For touch devices it was fully overhauled, since it was not really working before (which is embarrassing tbh). You can see below a comparison between the previous version and the current release.

New release:
Tasks.md is a self-hosted, Markdown file based task management board. It's like a kanban board that uses your filesystem as a database, so you can manipulate all cards within the app or change them directly through a text editor, changing them in one place will reflect on the other one.
You can see below the main changes included in the new release.
- Feature: Greatly improves drag and drop experience: New swap animations, visual indications and better interactions for touch and mobile devices;
- Feature: Adds autoscroll when you drag cards and lanes partially out their container;
- Bugfix: Fix touch and navigation on touch devices;
- Bugfix: Fix issue where navigation bar outgrows lanes;
- Bugfix: Prevents saving card name with invalid characters;
- Bugfix: Fix some smaller issues;
- Documentation: Remind user to hard-reload the browser after changing a theme.
For my tasks I use Nextcloud Tasks via caldav. Do you plan to add caldav support? You could solve the problem of missing native apps with this as well, as caldav is supported in a lot of desktop calendar apps (e.g. Thunderbird), and android has the genial opentasks app which uses the same standard.
Caldav doesn’t support kanban lmao.
Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.
I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it's a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.
This is my point.
Also, isnt nextcloud deck via caldav read only?
Yeah I consider adding caldav support eventually, but I need to read about it a little more and experiment a bit to see how much complexity it would add to the project. I really want to keep it as simple as possible in regards to both setup/installation and how it works, so I need to evaluate it properly to see if it's worth it or not
