To do: add an in-progress state?

This is pretty nit-picky, but I’d love to see to-do lists support the optional ability to have an in-progress state. As I’m working through to-dos for myself or a project, most tasks don’t instantly go from to-do to done. I start them, often have multiple in progress as I wait for people to get back to me, do things, etc.

I work around this in 2 ways:

  • sometimes I’ll add the text “- in progress” to an item
  • sometimes I’ll create a separate part of the list and move in progress things to it

It’d be awesome to have a “in progress” state. The markup could be

To do:

- [ ] invoice michael

In progress

- [*] invoice michael

(or ‘.’, or something)

Done

- [x] invoice michael

UI treatment I leave up to you :slight_smile:

+1 to this. Also, a canceled state. Otherwise, my todo smart search will be cluttered.

While this feature would be interesting, it would compromise the Markdown compatibility of To-dos, which we’re actively trying to maintain.
