This guy aziz (https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks) create a plugin for SublimeText to manage ToDos. I know the format of the file is different, but instead just highlight could be a screen working as GUI with boxes and check marks.

Technically, yes, but that would probably pervert the point behind having a plain text TODO.

mhalano commented 8 years ago

That's a valid point, but if you think this way even todo.txt CLI program is a perversion. The idea, I think, is if you want, you could read and edit the file in a simple text editor. The idea is create a interface using todo.txt format as backend so you can use shortcuts and so on to manage easily the file.

Which is not what a text editor is for, right? I mean, if you want to have a GUI, you'll probably avoid Todo.txt/org-mode/etc.

I don't think so. Backend isn't the same as GUI. I like todo.txt because the simple and portable format. I use GUIs to manipulate the todo.txt file (DayTasks on Linux and SimpleTasks on Android). The idea is create a GUI to make easy manipulate todo.txt using shortcuts and etc. on Sublime Text style in a integrated way. Org-mode is a interface to plan events, create notes, etc. but do the things on Emacs style.

Did you understand my point?

Yes, but I actually like the Emacs approach of having text formatted as text... :-)
