In plain words

Dstask is a task management tool designed as a lightweight alternative to Taskwarrior. It runs as a single executable file and uses Git for version control and synchronization of tasks. The tool is intended for users who want a command-line based task manager with built-in version control capabilities. It's particularly suited for developers and technical users comfortable with Git workflows who need simple, portable task tracking without complex dependencies.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
