GitJournal

I’m switching my task management from Google Tasks to “plain text” with the GitJournal Android App.

This allows me to more easily edit/move/delete tasks both on Mobile and on Desktop in e.g. my Visual Studio Code (VSC) text editor - integrated together with my longer MD ToDo Notes. (Plain “text” here means Markdown (MD) - it IS 2024 and not 1999, after all… 😄)

GitJournal, unlike Google Tasks, doesn’t have details, end-dates, sub-tasks, repeating tasks - but I’m thinking that’s a great ✅ KISS Feature, not a Bug… 😸

PS: gtasks-md seems great to transition, or possibly even continously reconcile! Maybe I’ll hack some little tool to convert Google Tasks Lists to MD files (similar to e.g. @vHanda’s google-keep-exporter but for Tasks instead of Keep, or @thethales’s GoogleTasksJSONtoTXT but for MD instead of TXT)…
