Slackdo

A lot of people use the slack conversation with themselves as a todo list. SlackDO is a simple CLI tool that allows you to send TODO items and Reminders to yourself on Slack through an incoming webhook.

It simplifies the process of maintaining your TODO list from the CLI without having to leave the CLI while working.

Prerequisites

• Ruby
• Slack Incoming Webhook
  • Configure the webhook to your liking and either point the webhook to yourself or a separate todo channel

Installation

gem install slackdo

In order to use slackdo you still have to add the rubygem's bin location to your $PATH.

eg. for OSX:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/<ruby-version>/gems/slackdo-<gem-version>/bin

To get to know your general gem installation path use the following for your general rubygems information and look for the GEM PATHS variable:

$ gem env

Or just check the specific gem information to see the location where it's installed:

$ gem which slackdo
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/<ruby-version>/gems/slackdo-<gem-version>/lib/slackdo.rb

This indicates that your gem binary is located at /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/<ruby-version>/gems/slackdo-<gem-version>/bin.

Usage

First thing you should do is configure your incoming webhook by doing the following:

slackdo webhook

After that you're all set to go. Add a new TODO item by using

slackdo task

or add a reminder with

slackdo reminder

Development

Slackdo is still under development and might still be buggy. Feel free to contribute to the project.
