My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I love the idea of using plain text files for note taking and task tracking. As others have commented on specific tools and workflows that make this easy for them to stick with, I thought I'd add mine. I use textnote [0], which is a tool I built for exactly this workflow but is hopefully flexible enough to accommodate many of the similar processes mentioned here. It simply opens a plain text file in your terminal and provides lightweight tooling for tracking by date and rolling up previous notes into archives if desired.
Thanks for opening another great discussion of plain text note taking as a productivity tool!

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.

todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

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.
