There isn't a decent client for Android that can edit a Gist very easily. I keep my to-do list either on Google Tasks or as Gmail draft.

#62Shameless plug here, check out my iPhone app Begin: http://beginapp.co/ It's goal is to be an extremely simple to-do list. I'd love to hear what you guys think.
This looks super impressive. Angry I just left my iPhone in a cab :(

#63I haven't used it in years but this reminded me of TiddlyWiki [0], which will work whether you have Internet access or not. [0]: http://tiddlywiki.org/
Tiddlywiki used to be my favorite thing for keeping todo lists and notes about whatever I am working on. It has not aged gracefully though. There have been several issues as web browsers have tightened permissions surrounding file:// URIs. It works on mobile but its very clunky. I wrote a simple http back end for it but every time I request the file ornsave I am sending 1MB+ of data across the network. The author of Tiddlywiki is working on a next gen version but its still lacking some things I want too see like offline use via indexeddb.
All that being said I have been doing something similar to the OP but using Google Keep. It works offline, on mobile, or on the desktop.

#64I'm continually astonished by the number of HN posts on what the best tool to do something is. The reality is that there are often different tools for different needs and there need NOT be just one tool to rule them all.
I find that I keep short-term notes--need to know in in the next hour--in a notepad on my desktop. Tasks that need to be accomplished in the next day+ go into Google Tasks. Things that need elaboration, depth, detail go into Workflowy [0].

#65Correction: The Best To-Do List: Org-Mode http://orgmode.org/
Combined with dropbox or some other remote storage and sync tool across multiple devices, this works wonders. There is an org-mode app for mobile devices as well. Of course people who dislike emacs might have a problem but it's quite hackable and there is nothing to keep one from associated .org files with emacs and using emacs just for todo lists (theres only about 5 or 8 commands in org-mode that you really have to…
What's the accepted most mature Vim equivalent or clone for org mode? Is there any?

#67The best to-do list: a raw text file
A line = a task
Deleting a line = task finished
A text file = a list of tasks related to some context
The best and fastest editor for this on a Mac: NValt
This is the most efficient and simple solution for managing plenty of todos, no cumbersome rules, check boxes, markdown, web interfaces.

I have a hard time using Org mode , more than I used to, because I've realised that it encourages a lot of subdivisions, and deep trees only serve to confuse my mind ( see http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/03/trees-treeviews-and... )
What are you using instead?
