I don't need complicate Kanban SaaS on the market, so I built this vscode extension to simply manage tasks in TODO.md

- It can manage tasks in TODO.md - a plain text markdown file. - The syntax is compatible with Github Markdown - TODO.md file is portable and can be committed with Pull Requests (PRs) to any git repositories.

Congrats on shipping, looks great for small projects. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of items moving around when their status changes though. Diffs won't be as useful to track tasks — for example, did this task get removed from the scope or did it move to another state? If the item stayed still, it would be a one-line change, if the item moves around, you have to see if it's elsewhere now.

    Thanks for your inputs! I will think about this more. Typically users want to move tasks between boards in a Kanban board UI. But I get your idea about keeping tasks in a task list.
