Stumbled upon a problem: Couldn't integrate a single Github Repository, resulting in hundreds of Issues on my task screen. Having a filter for that would be extremely useful. Nonetheless great app :)
@felix_hau thanks for using Taco, Felix. Taco can do this. For GitHub, filters can use repo name, repo owner (an easy way to say "all work-related repos"), and issue labels.
These can also be mixed and matched, like to only retrieve your tasks with the "UI" label from your work repos, plus all of your tasks from your personal repos.
The filter-worthy attributes are specific to the connector, so Basecamp has project name and Zendesk has ticket status, among others.
If I can help craft a filter (or Taco doesn't find your ideal tasks for any reason), please email me at support@ or via the app.

I've definitely had this problem. Work tasks are in one system and personal in another. I usually end up putting all my tasks in one system (Omnifocus) and then putting dummy tasks in the work system so the team can track what I'm doing. It's not a great solution. Great to see you tackling it and a fantastic list of programs that you're integrating so far.
@eric3000 I've also seen folks (me included..) resort to creating artificial deadlines for tasks that don't have real deadlines. This works about as well as you'd guess, which is to say, it doesn't. When there's only one of you, it's productivity theater. The value is not in having 75 "prioritized" tasks, it's in choosing which of those truly deserves my attention right now.
With an across-the-board view that's quick to use, "prioritizing" is pretty simple: there's one of you, so choose what thing you're going to do now (OK, maybe there's 2 or 3). Do it for a while. Repeat.
Taco does its best to facilitate this and stay out of the way.

Props. Props. Props. I have a softspot for powering cross application search, prioritization and organization (see our work at Simplist www.producthunt.com/posts/simplist). LOVE the promise here. Just getting started but I hope AnyDo becomes another data source/connector. You may have just leveled up my productivity to scary levels and +1 to Helen's comment on realizing how much overlap there is in my notes/tasks.
started using this, fantastic chrome plugin! Also like how it pulls names of Github repos directly when giving examples of how to use filters. Very smart idea to make the UX feel more personalized.
@mrvladnov Thanks! We just added better Asana filters (like: today OR upcoming) and Sprintly filters (like: (in-progress OR accepted) "My Big Project").
The example filters now consistently use quotes, too. They only quoted the examples which required quotes, and I think that was more confusing than helpful.
Up next, mostly based on where folks ran into problems:
* Optional bigger fonts
* Smarter Trello support. In addition to Trello cards you're added to, Taco should be able to treat all cards in certain boards & lists to be your tasks (like for personal boards).
* Automatically retrieve changes more often. While Taco can't and doesn't need to be realtime, it can and should be current - like an hour or less while you're working. Right now, Taco updates daily, when you click "Sync," and when you have the site open for a while.
* ToodleDo and Freshdesk

Just started using. First pull in very messy. Still figuring out, when I have time (will put that on my to-do list, haha!). But first glance, looks great, very useful - exactly what I need. Great job to the team!
LOVE the idea. Was looking for something like this a while back. Ironically, in the absence of a solution, I pared down to just using Gmail starred emails as todos.
