I jumped on this bandwagon about 6 months ago and I love it. Like many others I had some levels of success with other apps (trello, RTM, Todoist, Toodledo, etc.), but a single text file is a whole new world. I've been do
My setup is a single .md file with typora as an editor. Some things I love about it are:
- Markdown checklists that (with custom css) can be faded when checked
- When I copy/paste an image in (often a screenshot of a whiteboard or sketch) it creates a local copy in ~./resources.
- Outline view on the side (I used headings to separate days, weeks, quarters, and year).
- I keep goals for the week/quarter/year near the top so I see them when I'm setting goals for the day/week/quarter.
The other nice things that's grown out of it is that I've started to create a knowledgebase (popular to discuss these days [0]) that is a collection of .md files (for example injection-molding.md, antennas.md, etc.). Having the same format for it and my todos makes adding to either seem more seamless. Just in the past 6 months the collection has become much more useful than the enormous pile of content I'd collected in evernote over the years.
At the end of the day I commit+push and that's it.
I don't see myself going back (although will maybe change to a FOSS .md editor once it has enough features).
I never really used typora but been trying out marktext and notable the last while and they both look very promising. both can be found on github. notable is new enough so it still needs a bit of work though
