noted VS todo.txt

This is really cool. I am endlessly fascinated by the proliferation of "productivity apps" when I find the same thing as you: that they are quite unnecessary.

My approach is similar. I already take notes via a Bash script. I configure a particular "label" for any todos and (essentially) just grep for them, excluding those that are crossed out (with Markdown tildes). This approach works great for me as a Staff Engineer in a large tech company. Reference: https://github.com/scottashipp/noted/blob/main/subcommands.m...

I also wanted to mention there are several related ideas / movements around the web. One of the biggest is todotxt. In case you hadn't heard of it: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt

I have created my own note-taking tool after experimenting with all of the different note-taking apps for many years.

It's a shell script.

Speaking of which, the documentation has been improved, so take a peak at the README file.

I actually have set up both of the main text editors I use, IntelliJ IDEA and TextMate, with the same template that my Noted cli uses to produce time-stamped note entries.

What is that "n?" As I mentioned, I use a lightweight cli called Noted which is nothing more than a simple shell script. The alias for noted in my shell is n, to cut down on keystrokes.

It would be awesome to have an option to sync to/from a text file in the todo.txt format. This is a plain text format for tasks which can be read by different apps on different platforms.

For this project: Make a todo.txt file in the root. Don't go overboard, just note the tasks as you realize them as "(B) Add Audio System". Break them down into components when you realize tasks will take more than one sit-down, "(A) Put AudioDefs into an array \n (B) Load each of the filedata into a stack". Personally, I use (A) for "This is on the schedule", (B) "Do this today", etc.

Another way is to use the todo.txt approach and add context tags like "@work" to the text of the task, and then filter the big Tasks list by searching for that context tag.

todo.txt on linux (format definition, tool -- available in most package repos also I think, though the name is not always the same!)

Actually, it's org-mode. But for the rest of us non-Emacs users, there's todo.txt:

Otherwise, maybe go old school and use a todo.txt type workflow?
