Todoist Plugin for Ubiquity

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 (2009/02/06):

Moved to gist.github

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:

  3. @gareth: Did you copy and paste the code above into the ubiquity command editor or did you subscribe to the command on this page via the blue bar?

  4. Awesome. :) Assuming you’re still working on this (and I hope you are, because it’s great), could you perhaps set the default date_string to null? The default for the web app itself is to leave the date blank unless you specify otherwise, and I think that’s the way it ought to be. (”Tomorrow” is kind of arbitrary and would have to be changed most of the time for most items. :) )

    Anyway, keep up the great work!
