    @afewbugs I currently use Vikunja, which absolutely has recurring tasks, but is a bit limited mobile app wise.

      @afewbugs @jtx tbh i've been able to keep track of my recurring tasks in my mind, but it really sucks. also for things like taking medicine on a regular schedule it would be so great to have recurring tasks

      @kate @afewbugs if it helps you can create a recurring task in jtx Board and set it up as you wish. You can then click on "detach all instances", this would take all recurrences and make standalone entries out of them. These entries should then also show up in Nextcloud. However, keep in mind that the series is gone and you can't update all instances in one go anymore.

        https://donetick.com/ is self-hostable and very specifically aimed at managing housework. Also US-based though

          Because if there isn't I am developing a very strong suspicion that NextCloud developers aren't the ones who do the housework in their households

          @afewbugs relatedly, I'm pretty sure the people who design kitchen and bathroom fittings and furnishings have never cleaned a bathroom or kitchen, and don't do much cooking either

              @suearcher @kitten_tech my fun story about architecture is I used to work in a university building designed by a famous and award winning architect. It had a recessed light well in the roof with a glass skylight at the bottom. The problem was there was no outlet pipe at the bottom of the light well, so when it rained it filled up with water like a huge suspended swimming pool

                @suearcher @kitten_tech this was obviously a somewhat alarming state of affairs for those who had to work underneath it, trusting the strength of the glass, so it was drained and a sort of greenhouse like contraption built over the top to prevent it from refilling.

                  @suearcher @kitten_tech This was all before my time so I didn't witness it, but we did have to live with the consequences when I was working there which were that the top floor of the building was unbearably hot every summer due to being encased in a hastily erected greenhouse

                    @suearcher @kitten_tech @afewbugs As a lawyer I can tell you that the IT "designers" used by the courts, CPS, solicitors and counsel, have no idea how any of us work, what information we need and in what form.
                    I used to be handed all the papers at court for the cases I was dealing (up to 15+) could scan them, hand them to clients to read, and go back and take instructions. Easy. Now we get it on line at court (eventually). I can't pass my laptop over can I..FFS.

                          If any @nextcloud developers happen to be reading this and want a feminist perspective, actually especially if they're reading and don't want a feminist perspective: there are two types of tasks, one off achievement tasks like build a website, write an article, paint a room where once it's done it's done, and recurring maintenance tasks: do the laundry, change the sheets, water the plants.

                          This reminds me of when I expressed surprise on their forum about the health app (now abandoned) not having an option to track menstruation. The obliviousness about the significance of that omission was disheartening.

                              @pdl The web interface not having that functionality sucks, and I think there should be feature parity between the app and web interface. Especially if the assumption is that only Android and iOS get that feature from official Nextcloud clients. @vfrmedia @emily_s @afewbugs

                                @ljrk @afewbugs i've kind of moved away from NextCloud's tasks and for a long time now using NextCloud's deck feature, but more recently I've been moving to QOwnnotes and using next cloud notes for sync.

                                @KayEllen We use Deck for shopping lists and I know the items can have deadline/expiration, but recurring tasks? I dunno. @ljrk @afewbugs

                                  @worik You wont believe how useful automated reminders are and how often my partner encourages me to make more of them. She also uses them a lot. But yeah, it actually is useful to have for example a tri or bi-weekly recurring timed reminder to change the bedsheets etc. To be able to set them from the web interface is just neat because that's the closest to platform agnostic you can get with nearly no effort. @ljrk @afewbugs

                                    @suearcher @afewbugs @PeterMLittle hah yes. I work in IT and just a few days ago was reflecting with somebody on how often user workflows are ignored (in the context of systems where you log in to see some protected data having poor support for showing others that data; I was congratulating them on having a good mechanism for making a share link!)

                                      @worik Sometimes writing it down with a pen on a paper helps to remember, and that's something you may or may not get with a computer. Sometimes a sticky note on the door works the best. @ljrk @afewbugs

                                        @afewbugs @suearcher my favourite repeat offender is having unsealed chipboard or MDF edges butted against a tiled floor, which is tiled because you expect (a) people to spill liquids on it and (b) it to he mopped regularly... Those edges soak up gross liquids and the wood expands and rots... In my home I've run a fat bead of silicone caulk around the edges of the kitchen and bathroom floors! Also turns the acute 90° grime trap into two 45°s so easier to clean!
