Features

• Task Management: Create, update, and manage tasks with descriptions, deadlines, and statuses.
• Versioning: Every change to a task is versioned. You can view the full history of a task and revert to previous states (conceptually).
• Attachments: Attach files to tasks. Files are stored efficiently using content-addressable storage (deduplication).
• Aliases: Tasks are assigned human-readable aliases (e.g., Misty-Rat) for easier reference than UUIDs.
• Kanban Board: Visualize your tasks in a terminal-based Kanban board.
• Archiving: Archive completed or stale tasks to keep your active list clean.
• JSON Dump: Export your data to JSON for backup or analysis.
