kristianwindandClaude Opus 4.8 e94d731c30 docs(site): lead with the Rune, and drop the Todoist comparison from filters
Yggdrasil is self-hosting too, so labelling only the Docker page
"Self-hosting" was misleading and put it above the Rune it was built for.
Reorder "As a Rune" above the Docker page, rename that page "With Docker",
and make the landing hero's primary call to action the Rune, with Docker
beside it.

Also drop the "the grammar is Todoist's" line from the filters page — the
factual import/export interoperability keeps naming Todoist, but the
positioning and soft comparisons do not.

Saved filters

A filter is a small expression describing a slice of your tasks. The grammar will feel familiar if you have used query-based filters in other task apps.

today & p1
#Firma & @regnskab
overdue | (today & assigned to: me)
7 days & !@venter

What you can write

Term Matches
today, i dag Due today.
tomorrow, i morgen Due tomorrow.
overdue, forsinket Due before today.
7 days, 14 dage, 2 weeks Due between now and then. A window, not a single day.
no date, ingen dato No due date at all.
p1 … p4 That priority.

Combining them

Operator Means
& Both.
` or,`
! Not.
( ) Grouping.

& binds tighter than |, so overdue | today & p1 means overdue | (today & p1). Use brackets when you mean otherwise.

Some that are worth saving

today & p1                      What has to happen today
overdue                         What slipped
7 days & !@venter               The week, minus what you are blocked on
#Firma & assigned to: me        Your part of a shared project
p1 & no date                    Important, unscheduled — usually a mistake
recurring & overdue             Habits you have stopped doing

Why an expression is refused

A filter is compiled before it is saved. A filter that cannot run is worse than none: you would find out later, from a list that is empty for a reason nobody can see. If you get an error, it names the part it could not read.

!!! note "Labels are personal" @regnskab matches your label of that name. Somebody else using the same word on their own tasks is a different label, and your filter will not find it.
