Two weeks ago I tooted:

Lord help me I'm back on Obsidian Tasks again

I came up with a nice solution for what I wanted. Show the first todo item in each of my project files using Obsidian Tasks query language:

path includes projects
group by function task.file.path.split('/')[1].replace('.md', '')
limit groups 1
not done

I had to add some rules to the css to hide the note titles which are shown when you use grouping:

.tasks-group-heading {
    display: none;
}

ul.plugin-tasks-query-result {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
}

div.task-count {
    margin-top: 10px;
}

Turns out, this works but just it doesn't work for me. So I deleted it all (after noting the config down because Obsidian Tasks can be complicated).

Godspeed is my best friend now. I won't attempt to go into everything Godspeed does but the UI is simple and works for my brain. Their big selling point is everything can be done with the keyboard which I like. It's also one of the reasons I signed up to Setapp (expect a post about this soon). If you want to know more Matt has a great video about Godspeed which is how I found out about it in the first place.
