Sync notes/todos in Markdown files

Open hkdobrev opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Several desktop and some mobile software apps export/sync their notes and todos in a folder of Markdown files. I've worked on something similar as well: https://github.com/hkdobrev/notetaker

If FocusedTask could export to a Markdown file with GFM support for todos syntax, then it'd be compatible with a relatively wide range of apps and use cases.

I miss being able to access FocusedTask on my mobile. Having it write to Markdown files which I can push to GitHub and view and check on my phone would be great.

If FocusedTask could even sync the todos back from the file into the app would be great! I think this format would be much more useful than the JSON export even though it's less structured.

Making export/import from markdown could work. Since app was originally a markdown file 😇

For now, I don't want to build a full sync service. Will do export and will see how todo import.
