Alfred and Wunderlist

I just thought I would drop a little note for all the Alfred users out there that have been wanting a Wunderlist extension. I fired a tweet or two back and forth with the guys at 6Wunderkinder and asked if there was a 3rd party interface that I wasn’t aware of or if they have plans to add one. Just as I thought, there currently is not a 3rd party interface and they don’t have anything planned to add one right now. I believe this is primarily due to the fact that Wunderlist is built with Titanium. If you aren’t familiar with Titanium, its a framework that allows you to build native iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc, etc apps using Javascript.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. There isn’t a 3rd party interface, however, the tasks are stored locally in a simple SQLite database. So, once again, I’m gonna poke around at it with a little PHP and see what I can come up with. The only thing I see being a potential problem right this second is an “online_id” field in the database. I’m not sure how it’s generated or what Wunderlist does if a task is entered that doesn’t have one. Otherwise, I think adding tasks in Wunderlist should be pretty easy. I can already read tasks from the database. 

As always, keep watching here or on Twitter for updates on this..
