iMDone VS The Archive

Imdone is the closest option fitting your requirements, as it saves cards in a Markdown text format with special syntax. You can either have all cards in one text file, or individual files for each card. It's pretty flexible, and development is very active. Source: over 1 year ago

I work full time as an advising consultant and software engineer, so I really need to automate a lot my work on imdone. For starters, I use imdone to plan and manage releases of imdone. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

I use Obsidian (or, rather, the single top-level directory of markdown files) for my customized GTD process. Essential to me are the Imdone app (https://imdone.io) and the Tasks community plugin. They work well together. Source: about 2 years ago

I’m personally using imdone which is also note-centric and extremely flexible but has a steep learning curve. Source: over 2 years ago

I used to _love_ this program. Alas, it is very out-of-date. The best alternative I've yet found is [The Archive](https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/). Why is this trending now? - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

I currently use The Archive app (Zettelkasten style) : https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

You're worrying too much about this. First, you're confusing a Zettelkasten (ZK) with a PKM. You don't need a PKM to have a ZK. And, yes, there are examples of text based ZKs. Agreed with u/FastSascha - the Archive is probably the best example: Https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. Source: 10 months ago

I used to use nvALT quite a bit. These days I use The Archive[1] instead. [1]: https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

But relatedly, I would kill to have tabular numerals in the sidebar, so files beginning with date stamps or any numbers line up. See The Archive sidebar for reference. Source: over 1 year ago
