Show HN: ZenTasker – Open-source, calm GTD task manager (pre-code launch)
I’ve struggled with task management tools that feel cluttered, overwhelming, or misaligned with how I think and work. So I’m starting ZenTasker — an open-source, self-hosted GTD task manager designed for simplicity, accessibility, and focus.\n>\n> Why ZenTasker:\n> - Built-in GTD structure: Programme > Subproject > Next Action\n> - Gradual reveal to reduce decision paralysis\n> - Designed from day one for neurodiverse inclusivity (energy tagging, sequential focus views)\n> - Minimal UI, with optional advanced features via plugins (Kanban, Eisenhower Matrix, Time Blocking)\n> - Personalization via file-based settings\n>\n> This is my first open-source project and I’m currently in the pre-code phase. I’m looking for input from developers, designers, and accessibility specialists who’d like to help shape it.\n>\n> Here’s the repo and discussion space: \n> https://github.com/walshd1/Zentasker/discussions I’d love your thoughts on the idea, architectural suggestions, and advice for building a great contributor community. Any feedback or questions welcome!\n>\n> Thanks for reading.

I'm assuming you won't have to understand or use the command line even if taskwarrior's utilization is pretty straightforward? Id imagine that simple cross-device synchronization might be a target area similarly? Just some random thoughts that come to mind
