Feature Requests: plugin architecture and de-duplication

[ghost]

Totally agree with the roadmap for:

• plugin architecture
• multiline entries

Would also be great to have duplicate detection so it won't upload the same file twice. Looks like @ttscoff might have something started.

My wishlist of apps I'd especially like to see plugins for would be these (in order of preference):

1. Moves App

Has an API and loads of fantastic tracking data to bring in, including:

• number of steps walked/ran
• distance walked/ran
• speed walked/ran
• mode of transport
• location
• distance traveled
• speed traveled
• activity performed at location

Some work has been done on bringing Moves to Day One here but Siftter integration would be awesome.

2. Reporter

Nicholas Fenton's app. Basically lets you track anything really easily and then automatically export JSON files to dropbox. A way to parse different questions to individual Sifttter files would allow for a lot of flexibility.

3. Amazon Purchases

Could be cool if you could parse email confirmations from Amazon in GMail into "Today I Bought" type entries.

4. Goodreads

Would be great to be able to automatically detect when you change your 'currently reading' and "finished reading" etc

5. Plex

Such an amazing media centre. Logging any tv shows/movies as being watched would be cool.

Great list, Alex! Very much in line with my thinking.

Hi, I would like to see a todo.txt plugin to add my finished tasks to my dayone entries. It basically should read the files todo.txt and done.txt (for me the latter is enough since I automatically archive the completed tasks in there) and search for the pattern "x YYYY-MM-DD" at the beginning of the line an take the rest as data to put on the entry. It would be nice to have some reformat:

• the second date on the line, if present, is the date the task was created;
• keywords beginning with "@" are context (or if you use simpletask on android like me they are list names)
• keyword with "+" are projects (in simpletasks they are tags)

There's already a ruby library to parse the todo.txt format: https://github.com/samwho/todo-txt-gem

Daduplication is also a nice feature to see, but since I'm running srd on my mac laptop, I was wondering if there's a way to detect when was the last time the program ran to automatically catch-up with days when I boot my computer.

EDIT: I've put up a script that translates the done.txt into a sifttter parseable file, but it still lacks the dropbox capabilities to download and upload them to their folders. Having a plugin architecture would be great in order to avoid a double passage (download, parse, upload, download, parse, upload)!
