A plugin for Ubiquity that makes it easy to add todo items to your Todoist.com account. There are some hacks and it’s not the friendliest thing to use, but in the end you’ll be able to type todo mail electric bill and “mail electric bill” will be added to whatever you’ve specified as your default project.

Update (2008/09/03):

• todo-token - Use this for the time being to set your web services token. You can find this in your preferences on Todoist.com under the ‘Account’ tab.
• todo-project - Use this to set the project id to use when adding an entry. You can find this by viewing a project on Todoist and looking at the URL. For example in this url: http://todoist.com/#project/123456 the project id is 123456.

In the future I hope to have these things set via modifiers, eg todo token <token> and todo project <project id>. I’d also like to add the ability to set priority and due date, but that’s down the road.

You can download the source here, I have also included it here:

TODOIST_DUE = "tomorrow";
TODOIST_PRIORITY = 4;

Todoist = {
  setToken:function(key){
    if (!Application.prefs.has("todoist_token")) {
      Application.prefs.setValue("todoist_token", key);
    } else {
      var new_key = Application.prefs.get("todoist_token");
      new_key.value = key;
      return new_key.value;
    }
  },
  
  setDefaultProject:function(key){
    if (!Application.prefs.has("todoist_default_project")) {
      Application.prefs.setValue("todoist_default_project", key);
    } else {
      Application.prefs.setValue("todoist_default_project", key);
    }
  },

  getDefaultProject:function(){
    return Application.prefs.get("todoist_default_project").value;
  },

  getToken:function(){
    return Application.prefs.get("todoist_token").value;
  },

  everythingIsOK:function(){
    return Application.prefs.has("todoist_token") && Application.prefs.has("todoist_default_project");
  }
};
