About Mitta

Mitta is a project I started in October 2014. The goal is to create a simple tool to manage todo items.

After having used Hivemidner™ for some time I've become a huge fan of organizing my tasks using this tool. Sadly Hiveminder will be shut down end of April 2015. Mitta tires to become a replacement.

Mitta will be hugely inspired by how Hiveminder works. An important objective will be to import all existing Hiveminder data.

Goals

• Replacement for Hiveminder
• File based, human readable data store (so it can be read and manipulated without any software)

Current status

• 2014-10: Planning and prototyping - in progress

Roadmap

• 2014-12: Basic features should be available:
  • Creating tasks
  • Marking tasks as done
  • Setting due date
  • Hiding tasks until later
  • Showing current tasks
• 2015-02: Import of Hiveminder data should be possible
• 2015-03: Final testing
• 2015-04: Hiveminder will be turned off - Mitta needs to be usable
• Future enhancements and additions

Technology

• Implemented in Java
• Version controlled using Git

Architecture

• Data should be stored in simple text files
• This files should be versioned (with Git?)
• Should be fast enough for a lot of tasks
• When performance becomes a issue (or there is nothing else to do): Build a cache using a database

Future ideas

• Hiveminder-like review
• Mitta server
• Hiveminder-like IM integration
• Android application
