It's so sad to see cool Linux tools without a Windows version:( I get why; I'm just sad - especially because some Linux users are annoyed by "Windows only" tools and then they use linux only features, that never can't be ported to other operating systems as well(not because lack of people, but incompatibility). Planner is one of those amazing niche tools that doesn't exist for Windows. It looks amazing - congrats!

I get where you're coming from but Linux exclusive desktop apps are so rare that it is probably worth it using tight platform integration as a way to convince users we have quality, nicely designed desktop apps too, especially considering Todoist have a Windows app but not a Linux one[1]. 1 - https://todoist.com/downloads/windows?lang=en

The files are also pretty git-friendly. I'd actually been thinking of moving back to it, since it's lower friction to edit than Instag…

I wish someone would pick it back up. It was pretty useful. It took some work to get it to run on Modern Fedora and I had a lot of stability problems with it.
