Hi @laurent
This is an interesting use. On my side, I have a lot of tasks (some of them very short) and I need to be able to schedule them, sort them, filter them. I use the GTD method. I think that a list of checkboxes is difficult to filter quickly too (except maybe with the upcoming plugin from @JackGruber) and it doesn't allow to manage tags by tasks. I use for example a lot of tags for efforts (5m
, 10m
, 15m
, 30m
, 1h
). The sorting of the tasks can be done with the overview plugin but it produces a static table. It's convenient for phone consultation but you can't check the tasks directly (you jump to another page each time). With the search plugin you can have a checklist to check directly in the desktop application but it doesn't work on mobile. I think that's why projects like the metis plugin inspired by todo.txt are born
This is also the reason why I was advocating for the addition of planning and a separation of the reminder function and the "deadline" function.
To filter the tasks, you can save some searches with the favorites plugin but it's not very fluid. Then there is also the issue of capturing tasks with as little friction as possible ... but we will soon have a solution fast enough (direct to inbox) with the plugin note link system (thanks to @ylc395) .
