...It's a great convention on how to do common stuff in plain text. Plain text. Let me repeat: plain text.
(I'm accidentally doing "a different todo list approach" now due to it, and it is so surprisingly awesome; sorry, busy doing stuff off of my "weird todo list"!)

- dev_stdout 3y agoWow, my mind is kind of blown. How did I not notice that before?
- drbig 3y agoDon't worry, you're not alone. And I think we didn't notice because... there are no markup tags anywhere to be noticed!
- listenallyall 3y agoNotepad.exe does plain text. Markdown adds all kinds of extra.
- gavinhoward 3y agoHey, can you describe your surprisingly awesome approach? I am curious.
- drbig 3y agoInstead of thinking in terms of "list items" think in terms of... days. There is only so much that can be done in a day but it is very reassuring to see just at a glance what was actually done. Also, this makes never-ending lists pruning super easy and peaceful - "if this item has been carried over for a month and I haven't touched it then it means it's not needed". And all I use for this is gedit (which is notepad.exe with syntax highlight if you so desire) and have the .txt files sync to my Nextcloud instance. (Note: So far I use it only for personal projects mixed with day-to-day chores.)
