I started writing this mostly for myself, because my head is always full of ideas while I code, write or read, and the best piece of advice that I got from David Allen's Getting Things Done was that you can't let go of a thought until you've stored it into a safe place.. and then you can instantly forget about it!
I've always loved the simplicity of plain text todo list managers, like Task Paper, but then you're locked into an ecosystem. Markdown isn't perfect, but it has the benefit of being simple, low ceremony and universal. The tool comes with a "source" editor that just does some light highlighting, as well as a visual Notion-style editor, but you never have to see any of them if you don't want to.
Since I'm a developer, I keep todos in my project files, so there is good support for having multiple files open at the same time, you can type your thought straight into the Command Window without ever seeing an editor, or use Navigation mode to open the editor with the cursor already in the right place. You can use the copy and paste modes to copy fragments stored in your markdown files, or paste them directly into your current app.
There's a bunch of templates to get you started and I'm excited to see how you will use and abuse my latest tool!
