;;; todo.el --- Bespoke task management system -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; Commentary:
;; Marriage of my personal task-management system, which I've been using for 18
;; months and is a mixture of handwritten notes, iOS notes, and org-mode files,
;; with Emacs's famous `org-mode'.
;;
;; For me, I'd like a live, reactive state management system.  I'd like
;; `org-mode' to be a nice way of rendering my TODOs, but I think the
;; relationship with `org-mode' ends there.
;;
;; Intended to supplement my org-mode workflow.
;;
;; Wish-list:
;; - Daily emails for standups
;; - Templates for commonly occurring tasks

;; Dependencies
(require 'dash)
(require 'f)
(require 'macros)
