Create a Task Tracker App for the Terminal with Python (Rich, Typer, Sqlite3)

In this Python Tutorial we learn how to build a terminal application (CLI app) to manage our tasks and todos. We use Typer for building the CLI app, Rich for a colorized terminal output, and SQLite for the database.

Great starter project. I was able to follow along, transcribing the code as I paused, and got everything working!

[Mdroudian]

I have an idea for you... You're pretty damn good at explaining python. Since this library is so packed with features... You should do a series on this particular library. You could easily get a bunch of videos out of this library alone. Just a thought. Keep the videos comin. =)

Your tutorial is amazing bro. Good video quality, good audio quality, good teaching. Keep going buddy, congrats! =D

Wow! It needs a couple more options to become a functional desktop app though. I would've implemented some kind of calendar representation of the tasks, if the task should be repeated (optional) and the interface that allows for user's own categories. You may also add an optional parameter 'importance' to a task. Setting goals would be nice as well :)

I can imagine the new commands to look like these:
1) calendar week (shows current week with all assigned tasks)
calendar month
2) category add Work
category delete YouTube
3) add 'Buy a birthday present for Ann' 'Personal' yearly ||| (the ||| indicates high importance)
4) goal 'Invest $5k' by 15-02-2022 ||

Frohes Neues, Patrick! Great tutorial! Thank you!

Wow!. A good project to start the year. Thank you very much.

I'm still learning logic and algorithms but this is nice. Very nice.

[vikranttyagiRN]

A really great idea for a small project. Would totally try it.

Do we need to have internet ON before installing the dependencies. Great tutorials man!

Sir please make a detailed video on regression-based conditional generative adversarial networks with Wasserstein loss function and gradient penalty.

[giorgioripani]

Hello, thank you for the amazing tutorial.
I have a detail question at 15.00, when you define change_position function, with the bool parameter commit which is default on True.
You call this function inside the context manager "with conn" at line 50, and you said earlier in the video that the commit function on this connection is always called if we are inside this context manager.

How it is possible to avoid that call if you are imposing the (negative) commit with the boolean parameter inside the function when you pass False to it?

Thank you in advance and sorry for the slightlycomplicated question.

Can you tell me what's your theme for terminal and Vs Code plsss?

[remypoirier]

Hi, what's your autocomplete functionality in your terminal ? Is it a custom shell like fish ? Or more a zsh plugin ?

[pratikchakravorty]

Could we not have used the id from the table as the position instead of keeping track of it on our own?

[real_taiwopeter]

Awesome tutorial! such a great way to kickstart the new year. Please can you give more insight on the delete command? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.\

[benxneo]

awesome!! is it possible to filter by category?

[thatolebethe]

how do i test multiple functions using typer please help

[Zeksait]

Thank you for the lesson! I can't find my error. the "complete 2" command does not show the table. even though the show() function is specified

[ibanguniverse]

Nice tutorial at the begining 2022, I was interested how you show the codes per lines in vscode, it seem that you did not write/type the codes word by word, how did you show them instanly ?

[StarFury]

9:21 Is it necessary to specify these if statements?
I thought optional attributes automatically take given value, or revert to predefined default if not given. I'm a beginner in python, probably I'm missing something.
