Feature description

Add a setting to use the todo.txt format instead of JSON for saving/exporting task lists. (Even partial support of the format would be great!)

Why do you want this feature?

It would enable to use a plain text editor to modify the task lists. Task list files can be synchronized to other devices using Syncthing.

The only existing alternative app SimpleTask is not actively developed any longer.

I also got annoyed by this so I wrote a bash script that takes two filenames as parameters representing the native Notes file and a clear text format, respectively, and convert the newer one of the two to the respective other format. The conversion from clear text to Notes'/JSON is not super fast (and runtime should rise approximately with the number of elements) but it's more than enough for my groceries list :)
