Looks beautiful, but its electron ☹

As someone really new to Linux and all of that, can you explain me what is and why is a thing to evade?

A classic article on the problem: https://josephg.com/blog/electron-is-flash-for-the-desktop/

I decided against todo.txt a while ago, because it didn't have multi-line tasks.

So, I just checked if that's still the case, and yep, it's issue #2 in the todo.txt repo and still open almost 4 years later.

Really annoying, because there's a fair number of todo.txt compatible apps. I guess, this is one of those cases where it "won", because it is worse in this regard, as that simplifies parsing.

I resorted many years ago to begging the app developers to support it, since the spec maintainers are long gone. They also refused ☹

Right, yeah, I saw your comments on that issue #2 and how no one responded.

My solution was to adopt (a small subset of) the Emacs OrgMode syntax. There's decent mobile apps available, which I use for setting up and receiving reminders. And then on the desktop for the simpler stuff, I just edit the files with my editor (which is not Emacs).

Personally, I think it's not that bad, that it's just a single line. It forces one to keep the description short and doesn't make it to a notepad.

hmm 🤔 never heard of todo.txt. Thanks for the hint. I'll definitely take a look.

There is a lot of apps for it and the dot txt file has a nice simple syntax and can be synced across devices http://todotxt.org/

A nice-looking todo app. Personally, I'm using Planner right now but this also looks like a good option.
