py-rtm-insert

Drafts/Pythonista/Remember The Milk script to bulk insert tasks. A quick hack to do bulk adds of tasks to Remember The Milk. It's designed to be used inside of Pythonista on iOS (called by Drafts, but that's flexible).

I'm not sure if it's useful to anyone but me, but it fits my work flow of adding a bunch of tasks at once when planning my day, and perhaps it will be useful to other people. I find this easier for bulk task capture than RTM's iOS app.

Required

• Pythonista
• Drafts (or other app that sends can send text via a URL)
• An API Key from Remember the Milk (they are free, the instructions on the RTM website)

Install

1. Get an API_KEY and a SHARED_SECRET

2. Fix the values for API_KEY and SHARED_SECRET near the top of py_rtm_insert.py

3. Copy py_rtm_insert.py file in to Pythonista, naming it "SendToRTM"

4. Create a custom URL action in Drafts with the URL (named whatever you want)

    pythonista://SendToRTM?action=run&argv=[[draft]]
   

From there, you can open up Drafts and enter your tasks, one per line, and then invoke the actions. The first time you run the script, you'll have to log in to Remember The Milk, but it should save your authentication for a while after that.
