hi, i was looking at web3.0 & semantic web stuff, and thought, activitypub is a new standard, in a decade would i imagine webdav/caldav to still be around? i would, like rss or irc, and i’d expect a better standard to come along as well which explicitly includes tasks

does anyone know of any communities i could go to, in order to chat with other folks interested in this? it’s something i’d wanna work on in my free time

context

i’ve been looking for a solution to manage tasks and reminders in a standardized way, to sync across devices. it seems like caldav is used and tasks/reminders are treated as events

i was hoping for something more specific to tasks, like having a sequence of tasks linked to one another or in addition to a vertical hierarchy, horizontal linking between tasks

i realize stuff like a kanban board, e.g. trello would fit my needs and it can sync with caldav and it’s like 70% the way there and not exactly what i’d like

tl;dr

new webdav standard w/ cool task features when?

    Calldav sucks and ActivityPub is really good. I would probably implement both - use caldav for compatibility with other software and ActivityPub for your own internal representation of the data.

    But there’s another option, also an industry standard, which is structurally very similar to ActivityPub only it provides more than just a network protocol to transmit data, it also provides a storage method and tools to work with it.

    I am of course talking about git.

    Put all your tasks/etc in a directory, use git to track and sync/backup/share changes. If you want a kan ban board, just have todo/in progress/code review/done directories and move your stuff between them.

    Personally I do my note taking in VSCode with an extension that automatically (and almost instantly) commits changes and pushes them to the cloud/my other devices. Plus a few other extension like Foam which which supports linking documents/etc.
