Hi PH! I'm back again with another product, this time I'm launching Hotlist, a tiny daily todo app for Mac. I built Hotlist as the start of the year but got a bit sidetracked, so decided to pick it up again this month and finish the icon and fix some tiny bugs. Hotlist is built with Tauri, it's a web application that runs anywhere, you can try out the demo on the landing page to get a feel for how it works. 🔄 Hotlist can sync state to third-party services. Write a couple lines of JavaScript and you're set! 📄 You can select all todos with ⌘+A and then copy the current state to markdown compatible format. You can also paste markdown todos into Hotlist. 🖍️ Set text (or regex) matches to automatically highlight words in your todos. ⌨️ Customize keyboard shortcuts to make interacting with Hotlist super fast. 🔗 Hotlist automatically turns links into clickable elements. It's free, you can optionally pay if you feel it's helping you be more productive 🎁 Cheers, and enjoy!

Generally people have more sophisticated to-do systems than flat lists - any plans on implementing features to satisfy different workflow, e.g. Getting Things Done?

@alexpainter That's exactly why this is not a general todo list, it's for people that don't have (and don't want) these sophisticated to-do systems and just want quick access to a tiny list of items.

Hotlist looks amazing! I'm curious to know how you got the idea for it, and how you designed the interface for such a specific and useful todo list menu bar app?

@itsawaisyounas Thanks! 🙌 I wanted to build a Tauri app to get a bit more familiar with Rust and the process of building desktop apps. Never built a todo list, so it was high time. I really enjoy using TextEdit and Markdown to take notes because they're very simple, I don't want to overcomplicate things. So I planned to build something with a similar basic feel but then elevate the UX with some nice animations.

Congratulations Team Hotlist on your new exciting launch on Producthunt! Your product is a fantastic tool for keeping our daily life tasks organized, easy and manageable. May I suggest an idea? How about integrating a feature that calculates the time taken to complete each task? This will allow users to manage their time along with their tasks, refining productivity further. Well done again and looking forward to more intuitive features. Cheers!

Installed! I was a MinimaList superuser for a while, but they never got the menubar app working right. Love the simplicity, and blown away by the plugin feature. Congrats on the launch 🔥
