About a week ago, I realized there was a gap in tasks managers for immediate small tasks that needed to be done whilst I code on larger projects.

I sat down and whipped up something that is almost eerily similar to what you published here.

I will give it a go and might potentially publish my minimalist version too

That was my observations as well - created this to satisfy the non-stop stuff life throws with a baby.

I went over the existing ones (e.g. taskwarrior) and couldn't find something super simple + had ability to store record separately from tasks.

Still super fresh and expect lots of QOL improvement/bug fixes. But functionally I'd like to keep it as simple as it is now.
