This python tool parses todolist text files and puts them to a mongodb collection. To show these documents on a website the tdgui.js can be used.
I used to create my todo lists to simple text files. The name format of them is <year>-<month>-<day>.txt (e.g. 2012-FEB-10.txt); here is an example of their content format:
DONE 1, add express.js to tdgui.js
DONE 2, select the proper template language
DONE 3, create the page which shows the td list to a hardcoded date
DONE 4, create a router which gets the date in url
DONE 5, validate the string in the url to avoid something wrong
DONE 6, create mongo query which finds the next available date in db
SKIP 7, write some docs
DONE 8, translate this query to the api of node-mongodb-native driver
TODO 9, show the next/prev links on the page
TODO 10, introduce step for better control flow
TODO 11, add bootstrap 2.0 to get a more beatiful page
python td.py path/to/file
e.g. on Windows:
python td.py D:\todo\2012-FEB-10.txt
Here is an example of the result document:
{ _id: 4f383f0cb6a9501784000000,
date: '2012-FEB-10',
realdate: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT,
