Its README emphasizes simple syntax, board and timeline views, local atomic JSON storage, optional Firestore storage, and terminal-first task management. ### Project history The README says Taskline was heavily inspired by taskbook and was rewritten because the author wanted missing features and a more modern approach. The changelog records a v1.0.1 complete rebuild in TypeScript and later additions such as customizable colors, localization, humanized dates, logging, time logging, and a git storage module. ### Adoption history Official install instructions cover Yarn, npm, and Snapcraft. The source facts list a Homebrew formula, putting Taskline in both JavaScript-package and Unix package-manager distribution channels. ### How it is used The tl command manages tasks, notes, boards, archive/restore, search, priorities, due dates, moving items between boards, and list views. The README documents ~/.taskline.json for configuration and ~/.taskline/storage for JSON data storage. Taskline is aimed at users who want a self-contained terminal task system rather than a Taskwarrior extension. ### Why package nerds care Taskline is interesting to package nerds as a Node-era terminal productivity app: a global npm/yarn CLI, a Snap package, and a Homebrew formula wrapped around a local-file task database with optional cloud storage. ### Timeline - v1.0.1: Complete rebuild in TypeScript. - v1.1.0: Colors become customizable in .taskline.json. - v1.2.0: Humanized dates and localization added. - v1.4.0: Time logging feature added. - v1.5.0: Git storage module added. - v1.6.0: GitHub releases page lists v1.6.0 as the latest release. ### Related projects - taskbook is named in the official README as the project that heavily inspired Taskline. - Firestore is documented by the README as an optional storage module for syncing tasks across devices. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
