Having todo lists on github

[njoyard]

Hey,

I've not seen that suggested before, so here I go: it would be nice to have a todo list on github, kind of like starring repos but for issues and pull requests.

The idea would be to add a button to issues and pull requests to say "I have to handle this thing sooner or later", and maybe a reminder icon next to the "new notification" icon that flashes when your todo list is non-empty...

The part that is missing is a "view" that aggregates the tasks from a issue together into a single list.

@njoyard oh hey, reading more closely, and wondering whether this might be what you want:
https://github.com/dashboard/issues/assigned

The downside is that, right now, you can only assign issues on projects you have push access to (not pull), and here is a feature request for this to be possible for anyone: #100

Or alternatively: #153 (for allowing those with pull to set assignee)

If that fits the bill, feel free to close this and add your +1 in the appropriate issue(s) :)

we got tired of waiting and hacked together a Chrome extension, that implements something along this lines: very similar to gitlab, one can manage a todo list within github.

For this, the extension injects a button on every issue and pull request page with "Add ToDo". Also, it adds a button to the main toolbar at the top, that simply displays all ToDos in a grouped list. All data is stored in the browser's local storage so no data-hoarding on our side ;).

We are open to feedback of course! Open an issue or drop us a message!

This already exists. blog post. What's the difference between the one which already exists and yours? @DavidBadura

@caffinatedmonkey a issue checklist isn't the same as a global todo list. This extension address @njoyard feature request.
