 Update: My old versions of Gtasks and TeamTasks have quit being functional with Google, in that I cannot sort the list items reliably.  Perhaps the latest Gtasks has been adapted to the new Google API.  Whatever changes Google made, they probably weren't necessary.  In any case, I switched to using a text file that I store on Nextcloud, running on my shared-hosting server.  No more worries of tasks being a future addition to [[https://gcemetery.co |Google Cemetery]] or [[https://killedbygoogle.com |Killed by Google]].
-<del>I sync with Google for tasks.  I have been using TeamTasks, which can no longer be found on the Play Store, since the time of Gingerbread.  I'm amazed Google has allowed something to keep working for so long.  After using TeamTasks for a few months, I found that tasks don't work too well for compositions.  The tasks app would become sluggish/slow if I had tasks with a large amount of text/paragraphs.  So I looked for a Notepad app for that purpose (see the section below).</del>
+++++ No longer using Teamtasks and Gtasks |
+I sync with Google for tasks.  Teamtasks and Gtasks were compatible with the Google Tasks API.
-<del>I also found Gtasks which is very similar.  The TeamTasks app was abandoned, but Gtasks continues to exist in the Play Store.  I use an older version of Gtasks that doesn't require a subscription for use on multiple devices.  I actually use both TeamTasks and Gtasks, since they stay in sync anyway.  TeamTasks lets me hide completed tasks, and view them in a separate list.  In Gtasks, if I "clear done", the completed tasks are actually deleted instead of hidden.  The one redeeming feature of Gtasks is that it is quicker for accessing the different to do lists, if you have many.</del>

+++++ Sad deprecation of standalone Google Tasks url |
 On Windows, you used to be able to have a browser window with your tasks by navigating to https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig.  However, Google [[https://www.ghacks.net/2019/02/06/google-is-shutting-down-the-classic-google-tasks-web-interface |took that away this year]].  Now you can only access tasks by loading one of two much heavier interfaces: gmail or google calendar.
