Streamline Your TODOs with TODO Notifier for Python projects

Are you tired of manually tracking your TODOs in Python projects? Do you wish there was a tool that could scrape and summarize all your TODOs for you? Look no further than TODO Notifier, an open source project available on GitHub, PyPi, ProductHunt and SourceForge.

At my last company, I had the pleasure of using a tool that automatically summarized all the TODO items in a Python project and sent periodic reminders to individual developers to complete them. The tool was incredibly helpful, especially since it could identify expired and upcoming TODOs with an expected completion date in a recommended format.

When I moved to a new company, I realized how much I missed that tool. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and develop a similar tool myself. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and Im excited to share my journey of building a Python TODO management tool.

With TODO Notifier, you can easily set up automated summaries of all your TODO items in code by module, as well as lists of all expired TODO items and upcoming (to be expired) TODO items based on expiry date. Plus, you can customize the tool to automatically generate and send these summaries over email, keeping your project clean and reminding individual developers (not yet implemented) to finish their TODO items before their expiry date.

Setting up TODO Notifier is simple. Follow the detailed article on Medium and you will have TODO Notifier ready in no time. If you want more information, please check out the GitHub or PyPi page.

Lets see the TODO Notifier in action. I will be using TODO Notifier on itself to generate the default summaries. Please note that I am not using any notifier for this demo.

TODO Notifier is designed to be flexible and customizable. Its open source and free to use. You can adjust the date format to match your projects needs, as well as specify the email addresses to which you want the summaries sent. You can even exclude certain modules or files from the summaries, so you can focus on the most important TODO items.

Overall, TODO Notifier is a powerful tool for Python developers who want to streamline their TODO management. With its easy setup and customizable options, its a must-have for any project with multiple developers and lots of TODOs to track.
