Comments (or timestamp progress mechanism)

[benjaminapetersen]

Not sure what this would look like given each task is just a markdown file, but progressive updates on a task is handy when you can do something like:

[+] add comment

Then write the comment and have an automatic timestamp. I believe a number of Markdown implementations utilize a Header or Front Matter block, like Yaml that could be used for tracking right within the document:

---
title: Metadata stuff
author: me
things:
- hi
- mom
comments:
- timestamp: 2021-07-03 16:21:12.357246
   text: This is a comment
- timestamp:  2021-07-05 14:05:12.357432
   text: Yet another
---

# This Task

is a task I shall do
1. first
2. and then second
3. and of course third

Keeping a good minimalist approach, I would't expect threading or anything like that as Tasks.md seems well-suited for a self-managed task system running locally. Having your own progress log on a task (auto-tracking timestamps, something like moment.js' moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'); // December 6th 2024, 4:49:52 pm) would be a really helpful feature.

Yeah, I also use Planka primary for this reason. I hope I can see this in Taks.md

Planka looks nice if you want a similar UX and are good with data in a PostgresDB instead of .md files.
