A lister of tasks found in Markdown files

What next?

Document your tasks in Markdown files, using "standard" notation:

- [ ] open, this task is outstanding
- [/] in progress, this task is partially complete
- [X] complete, this task has been finished
- [#] cancelled, this task has been scratched
- [<] blocked, this task needs more input

Then install whatnext:

pip install whatnext

Now run it and it'll tell you what's next:

(computer)% whatnext
README.md:
    # What next?
    - [ ] empty, this task is outstanding

More detail to be found:

• The basics of task formatting
• whatnext usage and arguments
• The .whatnext file

The reason

I like to keep tasks in Markdown files. That way they can be interspersed within instructions, serving as reminders, FIXMEs, and other todos.
