I quickly played with the demo. I'm more a note-taking kind of guy than a todoist. I love the UI but yeah, since everything is a list it's not for me. For my use, Google Tasks is enough for me.

I've tried Evernote, Boostnote, Simplenotes, Notion, even a bunch of markdown files inside a Github repo and so far nothing was 100% perfect for me. :)

I tried. So. Many. Apps.

Same. I always go back to using the file system:

- it has a hierarchy

- I can use whatever file format I want, mix in images, odt, pdf, md, etc

- I can backup and sync

VSCode is a pretty good editor to manage it all, and I played with the idea of creating an app with the new editor view feature of the last version just for that. Support some metadata, create an automatic encrypted sync server and that's it.

So ironically... An electron app.
