Hi, bumping this thread, I’d be really happy to see an implementation of todo.txt in Obsidian.
To explain my workflow, I have a todo.txt file in my Obsidian vault that I can open and edit with the txt as md plugin. That works fine except I don’t get any features specific to todo.txt like syntax highlighting or treating @context as #tags like @trashhalo’s now abandoned plugin did.
As a starting point, a functioning plugin would be a combination of @trashhalo’s plugin and the ability of plugins such as txt as md or Obsidian Org Mode to open non-md file formats. A more complex version could have some basic UI for sorting tasks, editing them, marking them as completed, etc.
As to why this would be cool to have: it would allow me to sync my tasks inside Obsidian with mobile apps like Markor, Todo.txt or Simpletask for all sort of neat functionality. For, example, I could add a task in Obsidian on my laptop and have it send me a reminder when the task is due on mobile, which would be really useful.
I have some basic understanding of JavaScript, so I’d be happy to help with what I can if someone were to work on this. Thanks!
