Supporting contexts

[kevincojean]

Hello,
Thank you for the project :)

Taskwarrior uses projects and contexts for organizing tasks.
I believe supporting contexts https://taskwarrior.org/docs/context/ is very important and I would appreciate seeing it on the roadmap.

Cheers,

Perhaps importing our .taskrc file should also be a feature, and fatto would progressively be able to be setup through this configuration file.

Hei Kevin, indeed I do agree with that, we should definitely support contexts.. Fyi right now the next changes on my roadmap will be:

• bump the rust part to the new 3.1.0 taskchampion version
• bump the latest android dependencies (see this PR), we may need to spend some hours here to avoid any regressions
• dark theme and better UI
• notifications that will automatically show open the related task
• contexts

will update the roadmap to reflect these list

Perhaps importing our .taskrc file should also be a feature, and fatto would progressively be able to be setup through this configuration file.

I've thought about it, and it would be a nice feature. However I'm still debating whether it makes sense for an android app where the typical workflow is tapping through the UI rather than editing a large configuration file.
I need to do some testing and think more about whether it makes sense from my pov

Hey! I added an initial contexts support in 0.8.0, right now only the beta version is out, if you have time to test it will be great: https://github.com/brokenpip3/fatto/releases/tag/v0.8.0-beta
any feedback is appreciated, ty!

Hi, so I tried it out but so far it's not enough because negative matching of keywords and projects is not possible.

eg one of my filters for contexts are:
context.000_grinding.read=(-buy -ninu -relax -inbox) or +DUE

I understand the parenthesis and or clause are complex to implement, so perhaps as a first step adding negative matching of keywords or projects would be a good step forward.

Cheers

ok got it, make sense.

The problem is that I shipped too many changes on 0.8 so I'm going to release it and then work on contexts and released it as soon they will be ready (so for instance in 0.8.1).

My plan is:
v2: support negative matching of task and projects and support parenthesis (here the complex part will be how to make it possible easily with touch support, maybe the possibility to explain these filters with a text in a hypothetically taskrc file it's the most practical option we have)
v3: support context filtering also in calendar, projects, tags and notifications

I hope make sense for you
