What Hacker News says
4 sourcesAs long as we're being opinionated, I think it would be better to just call this what it is: a Taskpaper plugin for ST2.
By the way, same thing for vim: https://github.com/davidoc/taskpaper.vim
In PlainTasks - opinionated todo-list plugin for Sublime Text 2Direct link: https://github.com/davidoc/taskpaper.vim
In Task tracking for nerdsIf you're a hacker in need of a Mac/iOS todo list, I couldn't recommend TaskPaper (http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/taskpaper/) enough. It's a hybrid outliner and todo list, but scales from simple lists to multi-project, tagged lists with loads of notes and documentation.
Best of all, the file format is plain text, so you can keep it in source control, edit it in Vim (there's even a vim plugin - https://github.com/davidoc/taskpaper.vim), or whatever you want.
