Within my projects like nvALT and Marked, as well as some smaller scripting projects, I’ve been keeping bugs, feature requests and general todos in TaskPaper format text files. They sync nicely in my Git repos and are easy to manipulate with or without the TaskPaper application. TaskPaper’s built-in scripting and filtering capabilities make it very easy to handle advanced views of my tasks. So much so that I’m switching my entire todo system to TaskPaper for while to see how it goes.
When I thought I’ve found the (almost) perfect one, Brett Terpstra reminded me of an old friend and that made me think that maybe I’ve missed out something.
In this case it’s the advanced query support in TaskPaper: project = Bugs and @v > 1.2 or @v = 1.3 and not @maybe and project != Archive 1.2 +d.
