Tasks.md - Self-Hosted Markdown Based Task Manager

I'm completely honest when I say that organization just doesn't come naturally to me. Notes are scattered all over the place, reminders are stuck to random surfaces, and my calendars feel like wishful thinking rather than actual planning tools. It's as if my brain is a black hole for tasks and deadlines and anything that goes in seems to get sucked down and never makes it back out again! And let's be real, cloud-based solutions can be intimidating too. I get that they're supposed to make life easier, but I'm just not comfortable entrusting my entire life to some company's servers. So, what I really need is a self-hosted solution that lets me get organized (or at least pretend to!). And that's exactly what Tasks.md is, the perfect antidote to my organizational chaos!

What is Tasks.md

Tasks.md is a self-hosted, Markdown file-based task management board.
