Could we consider replacing the default Tasks app with Tasks.org?
The app used by Murena has not seen active development in quite a while. Although it theoretically has features such as recurring tasks and tags, it causes issues while syncing and task management isn’t really elegant.
Tasks.org is open-source, actively developed, has all features that the current tasks app has but better implementation of those features, the interface and widgets are also more user-friendly. The only thing that it lacks are the persistent tasks in the topbar. There is an implementation in the app, but it doesn’t show up on my installation.
Im quite unhappy with the current task app and support a switch to another one. Mainly because recurring tasks are not really possible (as far as I could tell at least).
They are, at least through the app (I believe implementing it in the Nextcloud interface is still in progress). But it doesn’t really work well. I get error messages. The sync causes issues both server and client side. Online, other users (also non Murena users) have similar issues without a solution.
It is a very nice app that offers a simple interface for what it needs to do. However, Tasks.org is just better at almost everything it does.
I cam here because I am also suffering from the issue of (Open)Tasks not supporting recurring tasks and was looking for either:
a) a solution
b) a way to help fund a solution (e.g. by Murena or external dev contributing the fix)
c) working alternative
But it seems that Tasks.org’s support for recurring tasks (and use of some other fields) is non-standard and causes issues when syncing with other (more standard-compliant) clients:
On the server-side, it Nextcloud’s back-end manages task recursion fine, and for the front-end, there is now some support showing up to get someone to code that:
