Todoist Integration

Feature Requests

It would be great to be able to choose one of my custom Filters (not just Inbox or Today) in my todist account and have it display the items I need to work on.

Thanks!

I would love to see my Today tasks, it that possible?

This thing is so cool!

So a friend and I have worked out most of a simple Todoist Integration.

Below is what we have come up with. It finds the most overdue task and adds the date in red (to match the Todoist colouring). Once, you no longer have any overdue tasks, it just shows the task.

If you want to try it out, grab your API Token from the integrations panel of Todoist on a browser: todoist.com/app/settings/integrations.

Copy this code as a text file, save with a .star extension.

Replace the place holder text with you API Token and run it per the instructions on the Pixlet Github docs:
github.com/tidbyt/pixlet#push-to-a-tidbyt

Hopefully, we can work together to make it reliable, add features like respecting priority flags and even add it as a community app.

Hey @alisdair! Took your code, added an image and some slight tweaks. Put it into the format for a community app and submitted a PR. Included your name as author and a link back here, I hope you don’t mind.
