asana-all-tasks-across-organizations

Update from maker - June 2019

I (the developer) am no longer maintaining this project. Feel free to use the code. Modify, expand, remove, improve as you wish. If you have any questions, just send me a message.

About

A basic app for Asana to load all tasks you are assigned to accross all workspaces. Asana does not provice a global ‘my tasks’ overview, but does offer a nice API to create this yourself ;)

What you can do with it now:

4 columns overview with my tasks: Today, Upcoming, Later and New
Each task shows the title, the projectname (incl. asana color), workspace and due date
Drag and drop tasks to change priority (move from Upcoming to Today for instance)
Complete tasks
Click on tasks and it will open the task in Asana
You can even add new tasks in the bottom
The sidebar provides links to all your Asana workspaces.
See it all, stay focussed. Yay!

What I still would like to improve:

Linking to a task within a project works just fine. But linking to a task that does not belong to a project or to the workspace overview ‘My Tasks’ page is not so easy. For some reason the workspace ID returned by the Asana API cannot be used for the workspace URL. So I coded these links manually in my code in the config file…
Mobile… I tried also to make it look nice on mobile, yet this part is still a bit buggy. Just needs some love.
Authentication. Using an access token makes it not safe to use online (or somebody else could complete your tasks, haha). So right now I host it locally. But it would be nice to include proper authentication.

Installation

Get an API key by first logging in to Asana. In the topright click on your workspace name > My Profile Settings > Apps > Manage Developer Apps. Create your Personal Access Token.
Open the file config-example.php and rename it to config.php. Paste your Personal Access Token
(optional) Expand config.php with workspace ID - URLs conversion to be able to use quick links to workspaces (see config.php comments for more info)
Host locally (or online, but beware! Someone else can update your TODO list…)
