Sleek Task Manager

I tried out Sleek, a todo.txt based task manager, from the Flathub install.

The nice thing is it runs on Linux and Windows and it is pretty. The not nice thing is that it's an Electron app so it consumes a lot of RAM to show a couple check boxes. Also there is no bulk editing of any kind. You can't select a block of tasks and bulk assign them to a project or change priorities. And when you mark tasks as complete it removes the priority tag from the task while not restoring it when a task is un-marked as done. This makes it hard to do a lot of serious task hauling although you have the option of falling back to a text editor or shell scripts on the raw todo.txt file.

Uninstalled it in a bit of annoyance but after twenty minutes of poking around with org-mode again I realize it is nice not having to edit Lisp for achieve basic functionality like sorting and filtering.

May or may not reinstall it. While it is bad at bulk edits one can use text editors for that. It *is* nice at just having a place to throw short term tasks at and keep open.

I use other things to keep track of massive projects with many moving parts.
