[Media] Task Manager with Vim-ish Motions - First Rust Project!

Hello happy to share my first time taking a shot at Rust!

Feel free to check it out: https://github.com/RohanAdwankar/taskim

The idea was for the past couple months I have used a task manager I made in React, but since learning neovim I wanted to have a task manager which i didn't have to use the mouse to work with. I also wanted to try out Rust so this was a good excuse :)

Overall it was a lot of fun. Before this I was writing Go which was fine but I really like being able to use pattern matching again which Go doesn't have. My main observation was that in my opinion there's a bit of an over exaggeration about the steepness of the learning curve for Rust. I don't think there was that much of a productivity difference though maybe that's more credit to the quality of the Ratatui crate and its extensive examples and documentation that made it easy for me as a beginner.

I think this fills 90% of my needs and so I'll keep learning as I tweak it as one does, but if you do think this could be useful to yourself feel free to let me know and I can prioritize adding those features!
