Is there a "perfect" GTD app?

    I've personally gone through the entire process to its inevitable conclusion, starting with plain reminders on my phone, moving to text files (infinite customizability! But also very little functionality!), then 2Do and GoodTask for iOS which both had tons of customization options, and finally culminating in basically making my own todo app in TiddlyWiki. I've got an advantage in that I'm a software engineer already so it was a fun experience and not a frustrating one, and I was able to build up a little ecosystem of scripts and hacks around it to flesh it out and integrate it with the other systems and devices in my life.

  2. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
    Obsidian is a text editor, and I don't think it has a web interface despite being an Electron app, but it's so insanely customizable with plugins that it might be worth a look. I know you can do tasks and Kanban boards, it looks like there is a plug-in for calendars that at least will read entries, it might be possible to put together something very close to what you want there. And your data's always just stored as plain text so you don't have to worry about lock-in.
