I have been using OmniFocus, which is OK, but I may go back to Toodledo.
One thing I really like about OS is the ability to hit a keystroke and have it pop up a little form that when I type and hit OK, it's added to my todolist. I would like to code something that would do the same thing only the backend would be Toodledo. I can access the Toodledo web service either via email or API - either is fine.
I've never written an app for OSX, though I have extensive experience writing Python, non-GUI Java, perl, etc. I've done some light C# in Visual Studio.
I'm wondering what I need:
- does this need to be a full-bore OSX app written in Xcode?
- is there something I could do with AppleScript?
- or should I try to hack something together with Python?
Again, all I need is "hit a hotkey, bring up a text-entry box, do an web API call (or send an email) when I hit OK".
