@Jopp-gh, "why a text editor is needed" - several reasons I can think of. One is: the editor one chooses is one which is or can be configured to users' tastes. Say I choose an editor which, by configuration or macro, can swap the current line with the line above or below, bound to keys like, say, Alt-Up and Alt-Down, thereby allowing the user to "bubble" the current line up or down. As it moves along with the cursor, apparently sticking to it, swapping tasks on the todo list, becomes a simple task indeed: Prioritize any other task: Move cursor to it, then bubble it up to the top. Delegate a task to someone else: bubble it down to that person's tasks section. How likely would it be for an integrated editor to either provide or allow configuring such a feature? Fairly slim, is may guess. Using an editor of choice doesn't only have disadvantages.

Awesome idea! However, I don't get why a text editor is needed to add tasks. It should be able to edit tasks in-place, right now it feels like a personal prototype. For a broader accceptance you should add a popup menu to at least view and possibliy edit (if possible) notes in-place. Right now this applet shows only the first line of our task note, that is bad. Finally, please support markdown. Txt is very antiquated and too bare-bones.

Thank you for making something so simple and easy to configure! This is just the kind of applet I was hoping for, and the implementation is better than I imagined. Thank goodness it does NOT have a wilderness of options.
