Hey there 👋,
Keeping track of tasks in your code just got more efficient! The latest release of Imdone (1.53.1) introduces card templates, a simple but powerful way to standardize your workflow and reduce repetitive work.
What Are Card Templates?
Card templates are just plain markdown files stored in your .imdone/templates directory. Once you add a new file to this folder and refresh your board, it becomes available as a variable for string interpolation.
For example, let’s say you create a template for new feature work:
.imdone/templates/feature.md
[Feature Description]
## :ballot_box_with_check: Tasks
- [ ] Add tasks here
<!--
#feature
created:${timestamp}
-->
Now, whenever you create a new card, you can reference this template:
New Feature
${template_feature}
Imdone will interpolate the template, generating a fully structured card:
#TODO New Feature
[Feature Description]
## :ballot_box_with_check: Tasks
- [ ] Add tasks here
<!--
#feature
created:2025-02-12T17:53:48-05:00
-->
Why This Matters
- 🚀 Standardize Your Workflow – Ensure consistency across tasks, whether you're tracking features, bugs, or research notes.
- ⏳ Save Time – No need to rewrite common card structures—just use a template and get to work.
- 🔍 Keep Metadata Organized – Use custom tags and metadata fields to make filtering and tracking easier.
This is a game-changer for developers who rely on Imdone to manage work inside their code. Give it a try and let me know how it fits into your workflow!
