Adam KeysOn the upside, I’ve finally settled on a task list app and no grass seems greener.
To the status quo, the notes/writing app grass always seems greener elsewhere.
takeo@therealadam so… you settled on taskpaper?
@toby 🙃 there's definitely an alternate universe where I did. Grosjean makes nice software and I respect the heck out of saying "this is basically done". And, Bike is pretty excellent.
But, Things is definitely the best software I use on a daily basis.
@therealadam Ah, I didn’t catch a mention of Things in there! It’s funny, the Things subreddit is just full of people complaining they haven’t added a shit ton of features, speaking of software that is “basically done”
@toby redditors gonna reddit 🫠
I would eagerly try a Things/Cultured Code spin on notes. But the chances of success here seem so small, I wouldn't blame them for not trying.
Inside baseball: I had Things, TaskPaper, Acorn, and TeX 🤓in mind when I wrote this: https://therealadam.com/2025/06/02/i-was-talking-to-a.html (even though Acorn still sees feature releases!)
@therealadam man, if they just went a bit further with the markdown support in the task notes it could be so close
@toby yes! Tasks that live forever and have no checkbox feels like a great FAFO prototype.
