TODO items marked DONE but with CLOSED timestamp

I love the easy TODO/DONE swipe-switching in the TODO view of the app. The drawback is that in beorg when a TODO is converted to DONE, no `CLOSED: [timestamp]` is inserted, like it would be in Emacs.

That's so exciting to hear. Looking forward to the next release!

I'd written the code for this when adding support for CLOSED timestamps and notes it just needed a little more testing. This should be available in the next update.

Thanks @Matthew Kennard for adding the CLOSED timestamp line for DONE tasks in the latest update. Beorg is now so close to being  an app that I live in. I still handle all task completion in org-mode since there's no automated way to log state changes for repeating tasks, so I end up not using beorg all that often. The ability to log DONE for repeating tasks would be a total game changer.

Also +1 on this logging. I basically just want to have a good story of "what kinda tasks did I complete on a given date". I'd even send tips for this. I tried setting TODO keywords in settings to TODO and DONE(!) , but this was taken literally. Then tried setting org-todo-keywords in init.org. Didn't work. Then also tried to put a line "#+TODO: TODO | DONE(!)" into inbox.org. Didn't work either :/
Awesome—looking forward to this. I think task completion logging, including repeated tasks, would be a huge help. Logging other state changes, e.g., TODO -> WAITING, is a much lower priority that can certainly be relegated to Scheme methods. Thank you so much for this project!

I'm going to take a look at this relatively soon. I'm probably going to delegate this to a Scheme method and provide a sensible default implementation - then users with a more custom workflow can replace the Scheme implementation with their own as they see fit.

@Kevin good points about more general state change logging and repeated tasks.

+1 for task state change logging, including for repeated tasks.
