Keeping track of what I learnt and scheduling compaction efforts have become such a pain that I need an issue tracker for it.

Issue Tracker

What it does

• Read through daily log of items and backlog review items to generate a review items sheet
• Write review items sheet to Google spreadsheet, pick todo items for today from review items
• Pick a quote from my bank of quotes, concatenate with todo items for today and send a daily reminder email

Why issue tracker

• Accomodate personalized and evolving data model and prioritization
• Integrate with configuration-driven Ebbinghaus memory curve

How to use

• Install dependencies

pip3 install --upgrade --user google-api-python-client oauth2client

• Create src/conf.json looking like this

{
    "quote-url": "https://xxx",
    "email-user": "[e-mail]",
    "email-pwd": "xxx",
    "email-recipient": "[e-mail]",
    "email-sender": "zzz"
}

• Set up Google oauth2 client secret (expects src/client/credentials.json to bootstrap, and keeps src/client/token.json for authentication)
• Example crontab -e setup
