eslavon Omm ("on-my-mind") – A keyboard-driven task manager for the command line

Yes, that would be slick. Then in that mode return would toggle between active and done.

Having a command to archive all done tasks would make it easy to remove the clutter.

Thanks for considering this.

eslavon Omm ("on-my-mind") – A keyboard-driven task manager for the command line

This is great. Thank you for building this.

Is there a way to change the behavior? I like to see tasks get completed thru the day. For me return would toggle “done” state for a task (strike through?) and keep the task visible but done. Then at day end I could “archive all done” tasks to clear out the clutter.

Thoughts?

Haha. Perfect

eslavon Ask HN: At which moment did you realise that you are built for computer science?

In college I went to the CS lab late on a Saturday and bumped into an underclass acquaintance who had been fighting with a program all day. I exclaimed that they should have pinged me as I would have gladly helping get the code working..

I would have helped debug some else’s code..

In the morning..

On a Saturday..

For fun..

That is when I realized I love CS

Very self-aware. I like this

Ha. Nice

eslavon Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?

Certainly. Wound need to think a bit for a complete list, but two fun ones come to mind:

Wrote an iOS app to help my kids learn to sing harmony (called it HarmonMe)

Wrote a translator from English to phonetic symbols to help teach an ESL class

eslavon Ask HN: I'm So Lonely

I agree with this. Service is a good way to lose oneself helping others and meet people at the same time

eslavon Ask HN: How to Write Readable Code

What does “code like prose” look like? I had a group project in college with a guy who used MS Word to write code in paragraphs..formatted like an English paper (I’m not kidding); is this what you mean?

(Looking back I often wonder how long this guy wrote code like this before someone said “knock it off”..)

eslavon 25-Dec. Shout-out to everyone else at work

Thank you for doing what needs to be done.

Are you allowed to stream video or audio?

eslavon Ask HN: Software Engineer hitting 40: what's next?

This is my fear. Hard to know how the “dream job” will pan out. Certainly simpler and somewhat safer to stick with known arrangement (so long as it is still available)

Temping to see what else is out there tho. Hard to pull the trigger without a boomerang option

eslavon Show HN: I made a Mahjong browser game

Very nice implementation. Enjoyable play

Flower and tree tripped me up (not identical as other tiles)

Would be nice if less delay after second tap (on matching tile)
