qer

DESCRIPTION:

Qer is the friendly easy command-line todo list queueing system.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Qer is a really simple command line task manager. You add things into your list, and it stores it for you. You can treat it like a queue or a stack, or both. Whatever you like. Qer keeps track of when you put items into the list so you can know how long they’ve been there.

Example Output:

$ qer
---------------------------> Stuff on the Hopper <--------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(0) Get Groceries from the store.                              > 31 min ago
(1) Call Mom.  It's her 60th Birthday on Friday!              ~ 5 hours ago
(2) Write unit tests.                                         ~ 89 days ago
(3) Come up with self-referential documentation joke.           ~ 1 day ago
(4) Deploy Qer to github.                                      > 15 sec ago
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
