Amazing Marvin Reviews

   Extremely powerful todo list manager

   I used Remember the Milk for years, but they were slow to fix bugs and new features hardly ever appeared. Marvin is, as the name says, Amazing. Very powerful 'smart' lists of tasks, searching, customisation. It does take a while to get to grips with the huge range of features.

• OpenCode Hit 140K Stars. Why Terminal Agents Won 2026.

  First, remote dev environments became table stakes. GitHub Codespaces, Gitpod, and self-hosted dev containers became how serious teams worked. Every engineer I know who ships to production now SSHs into a box they didn't provision, edits files with whatever editor is installed, and commits from a terminal. An IDE-bound agent requires you to also forward your IDE to the remote box, which most people don't bother... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Introducing codespaces.el: The Best Way to Use GitHub Codespaces

  This package provides support for managing GitHub Codespaces in Emacs and connecting to them via TRAMP. It provides a handy completing-read UI that lets you choose from all your created codespaces. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Don't get scammed on an interview.

  GitHub Codespaces provides 60 hours of free compute time every month, which is more than enough for scoped home assignments or interviews. It’s a full VSCode in the browser at github.dev or vscode.dev. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Show HN: I built a task manager that separates "Do" & "Due" dates

  I highly recommend you checking Amazing Marvin. I was looking for the same thing and found this app a few months ago (I am not affiliated to them in any way). https://amazingmarvin.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Taskwarrior – CLI Task Management

  Bad form to recommend something else... But I had some of the same issues that people have described about synchronizing across multiple devices with notifications and all that jazz, and ended up landing on Amazing Marvin (https://amazingmarvin.com/). It is the single, closest thing I've found to the same paradigm of Task Warrior's prioritization systems, and incredibly customizable, which is lovely to see as a... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Struggling with life, infp struggle the most? Please help?

  Again there are many great free ones out there, but my personal recommendation is definitely this one. It is paid, but the cost is not far off a pint of beer these days and you can customise it however you want (you could think of it as an investment in terms of the value it brings into your life vs the cost).

• How do you get over the hurdle of desperately wanting to start using a task manager but feel totally overwhelmed and panicked about trying to remember and input all the many things that should go into it, not to mention deciding which one? (AuDHD)

  I have recently realized that there will be no perfect tool you will find just by looking things up. You literally do have to try around w a few apps (or more traditional methods) and see which one you enjoy. It took me a while but I found smth called Amazing Marvin. I love it because it’s very customizable. I think when we try to look for the “perfect” tool, we really are looking for tons of customizability so we... Source: over 3 years ago

  Amazing Marvin: https://amazingmarvin.com/. I love it. Super steep learning curve, but once you get it, it's so smooth. Source: over 3 years ago
