The only issue with paper is links. Hyperlinks are nice and makes notes (and task list) a true knowledge base.

If there's really a hyperlink I need, I might e-mail it to myself, add it to a text file in an appropriate place in the appropriate project, leave the tab open in my browser, or just do the task now.

But IMHO none of that is related to the todo list, which is stuff like "7 · Fred's birthday". It's about remembering things that I need/want to do, and in a way that's tactile and I can reflect on it whether I'm using the computer or not, not trying to maintain a knowledge base of everything.

For me, it’s not about remembering what I have to do. It’s mostly about capturing the context and track what I have done.

I recently tried out Task Warrior for tasks and this is why I switched back to Obsidian + DataView.

Forgetting to check TW is the big reason it didn't work, but the secondary reason is that I take a lot dev logs on context and the `annotate` command is too clumsy to be practical for that.

I like the idea of a CLI tool for todos, but it needs to integrate with my notes.

A4 maxi. surprised to find this here - and yea, you can 1) take photo 2) easily index later via vision llm types cheap now etc even local (99% time never do, essence of todo lists ie ack wont ever need to index most items)
