Thanks and a question about alternatives

[amariusz]

First of all, thanks to the @davidoc (and all the contributors) for the plugin. I’ve been using it from time to time for many years, and I still appreciate the elegance of this solution and its wide range of functionality. However, I’m not a fan of the TaskPaper format itself, so it never fully caught on for me.

I see that a few years ago you were also using the todo.txt format.

I assume you’ve eventually abandoned both of these solutions, and I’m curious why and what worked better for you instead — and whether you’re still staying within the lightweight plain-text domain for managing your tasks, projects and lists in general.

@amariusz I am glad you have found the plugin useful! You are right that I have abandoned these. I'm currently using Logseq for todos, notes and personal wiki. It is based on Markdown files (although I very rarely edit the text files directly). The developers are working on a DB-based version - not sure what to think about that.

Thank you for your reply and the information about LogSeq. It's an interesting choice, I didn’t expect that one :) I hadn’t really looked into this application before, as it was hard for me to imagine it as a main notes / markdown editor. After taking a closer look today, I can see that it has a lot to offer in terms of outlining, as well as in its attempt to bring org-mode concepts into markdown.

If you're wanting to stay in the Vim world, check out VimWiki, I use it as my personal knowledge base and task tracking system. It's quite capable, especially when synced between all of my devices (I use syncthing for this task).
