TODO lists via Jabber

When I was doing JoDo.im I had the idea to make bots for maintaining my personal TODO lists.

So, if you use an IM client with Jabber support (QIP, Miranda, GTalk, Kopete, etc.), then you can create and manage TODO lists directly from the chat window.

To create a list, you need to add to your contacts any_name@bot.jodo.im

any_name is any combination of Latin letters and numbers.
')
To add a task to the list, write to the bot:

+ name
task description

In response, we get:

Task 1 is created.

To create a subtask ( yes, hierarchy is supported ) we write

+ number text_task

View commands: #tree (all task tree), #number (details for a specific task), #todo (first 5), #next (the very first task).

Mark task completed:

#ok number optional_comment

More commands: removing #rm , changing priority #up , #down , #top , #bottom , changing status #done , #freeze , #cancel . All commands can be found by typing #help .

You can create any number of such lists for each area of ​​life. It is cool when bots with speaking names appear in the contact list: inbox, idea, family, february, mart, april, life, work, wife, maybe, etc.

There is no mixing. If many users create a bot with the same name, each task list will have its own and it will not be possible to spy on other people.

Thus, we get the opportunity to work with our ToDo very quickly right from the chat window.

The service is free and has a web interface available after the #register command .

If you do not have an account on any jabber-server, then you can get it on the same server where the bots work, having passed the registration .
