todo.txt VS GitJournal

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?

It crossed my mind to do a daily Jupyter notebook but I typically don’t need them to be interactive code. The closest solution that I’ve found looks like: GitJournal does anyone have experience with this or other solutions?

GitJournal comes to mind, "Mobile first Markdown Notes integrated with Git".

If you are working with text files and git, gitjournal works well for me. It defaults to Markdown, but if you just edit in raw mode, you can do anything in the text file.

I've been searching for a while for something that would let me simply publish from my phone. I actually saw GitJournal in the Play store a couple of times, but I assumed it would only use GitHub to back up its own proprietary file format and so be useful.

There are plenty of desktop/mobile apps for working with markdown. (I've been using Notable (desktop) and GitJournal (mobile ) for an Evernote-like experience.) And markdown is often extended with support for internal links like a wiki, attachments, diagramming (see Mermaid), and easy export to other formats like HTML.
