+  A while ago, I wrote how I use plain text files for my project to-do lists. Today, I found an example whilst looking at an open source project repository.

+
+
+In January, I wrote about [using plain text files for to-do lists][3] instead of larger and more complex project management tools.
+
+I found an example of this in the code repository for st, [the simple terminal from suckless.org][1].
+
+They have a [TODO.html file][0] which is a plain text list of todo tasks.
+
+There are [a lot of examples on GitHub][2], too.
+
+Something I like in st's file is this command:
+
+```plain
+grep -nE 'XXX|TODO' st.c
+```
+
+This finds TODO comments in the st.c file so those can be included.
