I'm tempted to do something like that in Go.
I don't feel like I need a tree-based to do app for my personal stuff, but I just plain don't understand how people are okay with the feature->story->task list on Azure Devops. This clearly needs to be a task tree/graph!
What I feel all those apps are missing though is dependencies. like "I can't do task E until I do C and D and those other trees". Technically Task Warrior does that, but then it shows them as a flat list... My dream app would be one that combines dependency tracking and tree-based tasks.
That would be a fun Go project!
I don’t need it for most personal things like shopping lists etc. but when I do it’s invaluable. I also don’t understand how people work like that!
Dependencies is an interesting idea that i’ve thought about a little bit. From my own experience i’ve found that a tree naturally models this quite well as every task depends on its subtasks, but i can see for more complex workflows that wouldn't work perfectly.
