I could see adding a customizable color to due dates, to set them off like contexts and projects are set off.
I am pretty adamant at requiring the due date format to be "due:YYYY-MM-DD". The reason is that the goal of the project is to be compliant with the todo.txt format spec, and to be compatible with the Windows app Todotxt.net and the command-line tools. The due date tag is defined as an addition to the spec on the Todo.txt format specification page. That's about as far from the canonical spec as I would like to go.
That's reasonable - I also might not mind the format as much if that space is added and I can make them grey instead of black!
Thanks for the quick reply!

@geebru I am working on the due date coloring. The "due:" text has to touch the date, however, because that is how the tag spec addition to todo.txt is structured. Sorry, but I can't change that aspect of it. We have to maintain compatibility with similar todo.txt apps.
Interesting - that's a strange spec to have. Anywho, thanks for working on the coloring! Awesome app!
This feature was added in Version 1.1.3.

Currently due dates are a little iffy looking. "Due:" touches the date and there's no way to style the dates (would love a custom color for them).
A stretch goal might be to allow us to edit how the date is shown (year isn't relevant for my uses so something like "Friday, April 26" would be better or just "Apr 26".
