Tasks.org is an amazing app but it's android only. I've got the back ups showing up on my linux machine via syncthing, but is there a tasks app that can use them?

I use errands https://github.com/mrvladus/Errands

I'm not sure about import, but I use CalDAV as the backend for both so they synchronize nicely.

Yep, same here. Works well.

It looks like the dev is working on porting Tasks to other platforms, including desktop. Though it's still in development, so not a solution right now.

Syncing tasks app with Thunderbird using CalDAV rather than your json method is one way of doing it. There may be other tasks apps out there though?..You'd need a CalDAV service for hosting the tasks..I use Posteo (email/calendar) and it supports this.

DIY!

I'll write one for you when I'm bored if you can give me an example json file.

wow! that's quite a serious undertaking..... especially if you need to be able to interact with it e.g. create new tasks, change due dates, mark as done/not done.

you sure?

I'm not sure, but those 3 features sound very basic and easy to implement. Sounds like a simple tasks app to me unless there's more advanced behavior I'm not aware of. I've been cranking out pyqt projects lately and got decent at doing it pretty fast, I'm between projects at the moment :)
