TODOTXTaaS

My Hack Upstate Idea

Basically, write an app to fix the dropbox syncing problem of todo.txt. The idea is to write a service that has standard CRUD operations for each item, and integrates well with todo.txt projects and contexts. Also, there probably should be a frontend of some sort for the whole thing, ala bootstrap.

Outputs the full todo.txt file.
