What Will Be Done actually does
Will Be Done is an offline-first task management tool designed as an alternative to proprietary services like TickTick and Todoist. It offers features such as weekly planning, project boards, real-time synchronisation, Vim keybindings, and desktop quick add capabilities. You can also import existing tasks from other popular task managers.
Best fit: Power users who prefer keyboard-driven navigation through Vim keybindings and want a self-hosted task manager with offline capabilities.
Worth knowing: With a relatively small community and low repository stars, you may encounter edge cases or a lack of third-party plugins compared to mainstream alternatives.
Deployment notes
As a Dockerised Node.js application, you will typically need to map a persistent volume for your data storage and place the container behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
