[BUG] Documentation mentions DASHBOARD, while it should be dashboard

[Felix Kratz]

Hi there,
first of all thanks for the awesome update to v1! I am currently migrating and am super impressed by the new features.

I have found that the documentation states that the variable for the dashboard is DASHBOARD (https://github.com/kraanzu/dooit/wiki/Configuration#dashboard), however it really should be dashboard, as seen in the default_config.

Additionally, the example shows

ART = some_ascii_art
QOUTE = some_qoute
STATS = [
     f"Completed: {completed}",
     f"Pending: {pending}",
     f"Overdue: {overdue}",
]
PAD = " "
DASHBOARD = [ART, QOUTE, PAD, STATS]

but it is not a priori clear how to acquire the variables completed, pending and overdue, making the onboarding a bit frustrating.

Thank you so much @FelixKratz !

My bad!!!! I'll fix this.

but it is not a priori clear how to acquire the variables completed, pending, and overdue, making the onboarding a bit frustrating.

Yep, I'm working on it to make a better starting config that would be present at the default location!

I have since managed to get the dashboard running:

Again, great work!

[Murli Tawari]

Damn, that looks coooollll!

This made my day. Thanks @FelixKratz !

[Murli Tawari]

I'll make it much easier to get those numbers
Note: In the README images you might see the numbers in the status bar which are getting refreshed constantly, I noticed that it might result in a slow response time of the app which will be fixed in the next release

Also, the University Workspace you made is getting warped by an ellipsis (...)
This will be changed in the next release too!

@kraanzu , Big thanks for creating this awesome app! 🎉 Love it! I have a question about the dashboard. Not sure how to configure it to quickly see my todo list state. 🤔 Any tips on that?

Also is there a way to copy paste dates and tags, because every time typing entire date time and tags to each todo list item is a bit cumbersome

[Murli Tawari]

Big thanks for creating this awesome app!

Thanks a lot @satishjasthi! Really glad to hear that!

configure it to quickly see my todo list state.

Do you mean info about completed/pending/overdue tasks?

Also is there a way to copy paste dates and tags, because every time typing entire date time

This will be implemented in the next release! ( which should be in a few days)

[SATISH J]

Yes, oh nice, will be eagerly waiting for the next release.

@FelixKratz could you share your setup/basic_config file?

I'm stuck on how to find the following variables:

STATS = [                                                                                                                                
     f"Completed: {completed}",
     f"Pending: {pending}",
     f"Overdue: {overdue}",
]

and I like your dashboard message ;)

Sure, I have added them to my dotfiles: https://github.com/FelixKratz/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/dooit

Awesome config @FelixKratz ! Really happy to see that.
Refreshing might slow down the app but there's a fix in the dev branch.

The development stopped because my motherboard is dead T_T. Will push updates soon!
