Filesystem in User Space for Favro.

Synchronize your local notes and your Favro.

Uses python-fuse library.

• Local access to cards in todolist.
• Read card features:
  • Title
  • Description
  • Tags
  • Assignees
  • Dependencies
  • Custom fields
• Change card features:
  • Title
  • Description
• Obsidian compatibility:
  • Mountable within your vault.

Usage

1. Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Setup secrets: FAVRO_ORGANIZATION_ID, FAVRO_USERNAME, FAVRO_PASSWORD.
3. Run python -m favro_sync <MOUNT_DIR>. Use the --help argument to get an overview of all supported flags (there is a lot, because python-fuse implements a whole bunch automatically.)

Work in Progress

Following features are work in progress:

• Frontmatter: Writable Tags
• Frontmatter: Writable assigned members
• Frontmatter: Writable Tasks.
  1. Save updated TaskList along with card (using PUT cards)
  2. Get the Card's TaskList.
  3. Remove all TaskList's except for the latest (how to determine latest?)
  4. That's three requests just to save a freaking list of tasks!
• Frontmatter: Writable Dependencies.
• Usability: Richer directory structure
• Usability: Allow users to toggle Obsidian mode, instead of being default.
• Precision: Get the correct last-modified date.
• Performance: Improve cache behaviour. User and tags can have much longer cache times.
• Performance: Parallelize requests.
  • Paginated pages can be easily parallelize.
• Frontmatter: Arbitrary structured data (Custom Fields)? Read-only.
• Frontmatter: Readable Dependencies. As vault links in Obsidian mode.
