Because "any developer" of course uses a system with a motd. Or wants to be reminded of all todos whenever opening a terminal. What's with this HN hype of turning "Hey, look, I do X" into "if you're a Y, like I am, you should do X"?

#43Even better for developers: Todo.txt http://todotxt.com/ Free, open, plain text, with lots of optional tools for the command line and also mobile. And for more power, emacs org mode is amazing.

it has import scripts from several things including todo.sh, and several export scripts including ical. there's a decent third party android app if you really want that.
it has task undo support, and generally seems much more powerful than todo.sh.
obviously main advantage of todo.sh is that you can edit the file in a plain text editor.

I use it and I hope someone else will get something from it. Based on todo.txt but simpler imo.

#49The main advantage of this approach is that having to keep a pad of paper around tells me that my life is getting too complicated and I do whatever I have to to cut it back down to basics, ditching the tools. I would loathe it if I had to institutionalize this complexity in the form of an app.
Re: The best todo list app for any developer
#50What if your todolist is too large? Store it somewhere else (in you homedir, no need for a sudo) and add head -n 10 ~/todo.md to your .bashrc/.zshrc to show 10 most prioritised tasks on each session startup.
This may break scp when copying from a remote host which has this in the .bashrc.
