Superproductivity cli?

[antlosolutions]

Hi, first, thanks so much for this app. I was using several tracking and todo apps but by far this is the best and easy to use.

Does Superproductivity has a cli option so I can create tasks using the terminal or other programs?

I trigger some actions from external software and I need for some of them to create a new task and it will be great if I can do it automatically. Also I have some recurrent tasks but I do not know the exactly day to do it. I have several tasks to do and I want to add it all with a script the day I need to do it.

Hi there! Thanks for your question! This has been discussed before #173. There is currently no option for this. I'd like to see this as well and I would gladly accept any PR dealing with this.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I do not know much about Electron, but,
Is it not possible to send to the app when starting a parameter? For example:

superproductivity.exe "Task +Project 15m" /q

Then the app could parse and add the task to the Project and instead opening the interface closing the app (/q)

Theoretically yes, but technically we have two different instances of the app, so there needs to be some sort of interprocess communication. Not sure if this already works via ipc.

BTW you could have a look how Atom or VSCode do the same thing. They are both Electron apps, too, and they have special CLIs to do stuff like open a project or so.
