A Markdown app for "ToDo.md" - connected with Google Calendar and GitHub issues

Hello, I'm developing a Markdown note-taking and task management app, "Tasquet".

It is an online Markdown editor, but also has features like followings):

  • When you paste a GitHub issue URL in a list item with a checkbox, the checkbox begins to be synced with the issue state (open/closed).
  • When you create a list item including a time range, a corresponding Google Calendar event is automatically created and its title and time are synced bidirectionally.
  • You can click the checkboxes, and drag and drop the items like task management tools or outliners.

Let's see an example below. Don't you usually write such todo.md files for your daily task management?

# My tasks
## 2020
### 03/20
- [x] Implement login form.
- [ ] Discussion with John from 12:00 to 13:00

And don't you think it is great if the listed items and tasks are synchronized with GitHub issue and Google Calendar automatically?

To organize tasks, I have tried tools like Asana, Jira, Quire, etc and admit their benefits, however, I finally ended up with Markdown - that is simple and lightweight.
So, I decided to develop Tasquet - a Markdown editor with features like Asana.

How do you think about this idea/app and do you want to use it?

    Hard to say. I dont want to use a separate tool for that but if you were to somehow integrate it into GitHub directly, via their API, there could be some potential.

      Thank you for the reply.

      if you were to somehow integrate it into GitHub directly,

      Yes, I plan to do that.

      I created a demo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-JWTGDao_g to explain the concept.
      Could you check it and give a feedback?

        Looks pretty interesting. I myself don't have demand for it but I can imagine that people would be interested in this. However, I think it's hard to create a feature that GitHub could potentially implement easily by itself at some point ..

          Thank you!

          Do you have something else that you want to do inside a Markdown Editor?

          I think it's hard to create a feature that GitHub could potentially implement easily by itself at some point ..

          That's right. Only the GitHub & Markdown integration can be done by themselves easily (and it's already partially done in GitHub issue).
          Beyond that, I want to make a Markdown note app which acts as a hub connected with several tools including GitHub issue and Google Calendar (and others maybe)...like Asana

            A markdown note taking app was actually something I'm kind of missing
