As long as we're being opinionated, I think it would be better to just call this what it is: a Taskpaper plugin for ST2. By the way, same thing for vim: https://github.com/davidoc/taskpaper.vim https://github.com/davidoc/taskpaper.vim

  I actually am still waiting for one that fits Ubuntu + Android + Browser nicely. p.s.: and extra-feature I want is integration with google calendar
  - jrajav 14y ago
    Google Tasks (The task mini-app in Gmail and Calendar) seems like it's been neglected for a while now. Before asking for workable Android and web clients, I would want tagging in addition to or instead of nested lists, and a little more effort integrating it with both Gmail and Calendar. Search integration a must, too. It's a shame, because except for those caveats I would have been on board with it a long time now, and I still haven't found anything that truly works for me, either. I've mainly been using Gmail for my inbox and a single taskpaper file in Simplenote or Dropbox, but I migrate and try something new every odd month. The other Google teaser that's a great concept but needs fleshing out in vital areas: The Scratchpad Chrome extension. Why does it seem like Google is bored with the simple stuff? Edit: Wunderlist doesn't have tagging either. Another one that got away.

      The GTasks app available in Play Store is the most expensive and most useful app I've ever bought. It receives consistent updates and has been around since before the Google Tasks API existed. It's very easy to make a task into an appointment. It also has search. Tasks are already available from GMail and Calendar web interfaces. I don't see the need for nested lists or tagging, I think that overcomplicates a personal task list.

  Yes we do. Personally, I still haven't found a workflow that works well for me. I've been looking for over 10 years now too.

  I understand your fatigue, but it doesn't do much good to have opinions for other people. Me, I think "we" have almost enough. I just want one more. One that works exactly the way I want it to.

Nice. I've been making my own tasks in sublime for awhile.

I'm using this plugin for a while, and I think it's really great. The only flaw was that it lacked documentation, which is not a problem anymore.
- mkuhn 14y ago
  Yes, I can only recommend it. I use it both on my laptop and my desktop and the list is synced by Dropbox. The best thing that I can say is that it just works and fits very well into my workflow but instead of a simple text-file I now have a nicely formatted list.

For people that want this outside of Sublime you can get TaskPaper, same thing (I guess this plugin was based on taskpaper). Available at the apstore. I use it daily as my todo manager.

  If you like TaskPaper—which by the way it's awesome—you should check [FoldingText], by the same developer. It's currently in alpha, and expand on the idea of TaskPaper adding some interesting features, like the builtin timer. [FoldingText]:http://www.foldingtext.com http://www.foldingtext.com

    I just did and I like quite a bit. It is very interesting. How much interesting it will stay really depends on the price. I don't intend to ever spend $25 for TaskPaper, so unless it is a $4.99 purchase, I will pass.

    Sounds interesting. Cool that it's build in HTML/CSS/JS, and apparently 1.0 was just submitted to the App Store today: https://plus.google.com/103835916412808164341/posts/fC3RZ4LpvvZ https://plus.google.com/103835916412808164341/posts/fC3RZ4Lp...

This looks pretty useful. I don't have to leave Sublime to check for my coding tasks now. I would definitely recommend this.

I am using Simplenote for my todo list using Markdown. nvPY on Ubuntu and Flick Note on Android. It is nice and simple setup.

When I read "opinionated" these days, I automatically translate it in my head to something like "This software only does part of the job, but that's by design".

Thank you, I really enjoy this. I spent so much of my time in Sublime Text these days that not having to leave it (even to go to as great a program as Omnifocus) is really nice.
