with Go 1.21 (stable) but should compile with earlier versions after changing go.mod respectively.
Future versions will use the latest stable Go version.
Everdo must be configured to allow external tools adding tasks into the inbox.
everdoadd needs to know the IP address and the API-key of your Everdo program to work. everdoadd gets this information from two environment variables named EVERDO_IP_ADDRESS and EVERDO_API_KEY respectively.
EVERDO_API_KEY is necessary. EVERDO_IP_ADDRESS needs to be set only if the default localhost:11111 should not be used.
