What is this Todo thing?

So before we show it, let me regale you with a boring tale...

Historically in other tools whenever I have wanted to create a clip on twitch I have had to do some variant of:

  • Make some sort of trigger to listen for something
    • i.e a !clip command from a mod/broadcaster on chat, or a button press on some client device
  • Then I would make the clip via some task in whatever software
  • Then I would need to somehow build a clip edit url and store it as a variable
  • Then I would need to append that edit url to a file somewhere on my computer
  • Finally once I stopped streaming I would need to REMEMBER to open the file
  • Then copy and paste each edit link into the browser until I had tweaked and named all the clips

Are you bored reading that? as I used to get bored actually doing that, so with this I thought we needed a better way of handling these sort of "things to do after the stream has ended" situations.

So thats where TODO items come in!

How do they work?

So there is a task that lets you create todo items for anything, and they will get put onto the board, so you can react to pms, channel rewards, whatever. The twitch create clip task has auto todo functionality built in, so if you tick the new box at the bottom, every time a clip is made it will auto register a todo for you with the edit link setup etc:

Going forward we can add this functionality into other tasks that make sense.

Now we have covered how to make them lets take a look at what a todo looks like (Design may change as app evolves).

So we have the title, how long before it expires, the action button and the delete button, for the twitch clip example the Load Link button will take you straight to your clip edit url in your default browser. No messing around, no having to capture links in files etc.

Expiry is the notion of how long a todo should be actioned within, i.e a clip can only be edited within 24 hours, so it makes sense to give some urgency to the user if you only have 1 hour left to edit your todo file, you may have DAYS to action some todos, and some may need to be done within an hour etc.
