GNOME To Do: Integrating Todoist as Plugin

About the Project

Currently GNOME To Do supports only limited plugins allowing user to link their Online Account tasks to To Do. This projects aims integrating Todoist, a popular online task manager, and adding support in GNOME To Do, allowing users to manage their Todoist tasks from within GNOME To Do.

Since some part of project is similar to Recipe's project, we would be collaborating with Recipe and add a Todoist Provider in GOA which will be used in both the project for account authorization.

The remaining part will be fetching data (here tasks and task-lists) and updating any local changes to Todoist.

What is Todoist?

Todoist is a popular online task manager. Todoist provides user to manage and store their tasklists online and send them notification for upcoming tasks. Learn more about Todoist.
