Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers
I wrote a small Ruby TUI which works like this called Rodo (Ruby Todos). Pressing CTRL+t will get you a new Todo list (it's just markdown) at the top of a file.

A plain-text file format for todos and check lists
I am almost using this format for my markdown todo app written in Ruby:
https://github.com/coezbek/rodo
Differences:
I use unicode symbols such as ⌛ or for paused or priority items.
I use dash for obsolete/canceled items. I find this more in line with bullet journal which inspired the development of Rodo.
I do use markdown bullet lists.

Show HN: A plain-text file format for todos and check lists
Nice! I also have this pain of the file losing shape quickly. My take is to have a a CLI tool to "carry over" all todos which aren't solved into a new heading. This way the old/resolved items are moved to the back/lower in the file.
I call it Rodo (Todos in Ruby): https://github.com/coezbek/rodo
It uses Markdown for syntax.

My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file
Definitely true, but sometimes the lack of sane tooling makes it harder to follow rituals. I used to use the same format as the OP in a text editor, but struggled with the daily grind of copying items around and carrying over todos from the last day. Paper is much better for this, but messy (even with scanning).
In the end I wrote a small tool to assist with starting each day with a blank journal and all remaining items from the last day. Syntax is primarily markdown.

Note Taking in 2021
I have recently developed my own terminal-based UI for day journalling and todo/task tracking [1] in markdown files because I was sick of rearranging todos in other tools and just needed something which provides a standard template for each day (journal, high priority, todos of the day).
The main advantage is that you can "migrate" all unfinished todos to a new page/day and thus get a clean start each day. This idea comes from bullet journalling.
To get it done I had to dig a bit into ncurses, which turned out more interesting than I thought. For instance, Windows Terminal just gained support for bracketed paste a couple of months ago and my tool supports it.
Long term I would like to add generated views (for instance: last year this time one of your highlights was...) and support recurring tasks to be inserted into he daily log.

Ask HN: What products other than Obsidian share the file over app philosophy?
FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.
https://fsnot.es/
todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.
http://todotxt.org/
And of course pretty much all of *nix.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!

Looking for a note taking app with inline tags.
That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

Using Acme with Inferno's Shell as a pkm tool
For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.

Looking for PC and mobile "to do list" software
The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.

Yet another To Do manager written in BASH. Simple and colorful.
Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

TaskTXT The Todo List for Hackers
Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

Wish to start cli apps development
There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.
What are some alternatives?
logseq - A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.
taskpaper.vim - This package contains a syntax file and a file-type plugin for the simple format used by the TaskPaper application.
NotePlan_Themes - Official collection of custom themes for NotePlan 3
taskwarrior - Taskwarrior - Command line Task Management
xournalpp - Xournal++ is a handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support. Written in C++ with GTK3, supporting Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, SUSE), macOS and Windows 10. Supports pen input from devices such as Wacom Tablets.
