Idea: build a little webapp that can read a local file (any markdown file) and display the contents as a Trello board.
Features:
- [ ] If the item has a URL, unfurl the URL to show a social preview (for example, a Github Issue)
- [ ] Two-way sync - edit in a text editor immediately updates the board. Edit in the board immediately updates the text file.
- [ ] Graceful degradation, somehow? Info in Board that's not in text file. Info in text file that's not displayed in board?
Take a look at [Trellis](https://github.com/automerge/trellis) from [[Ink & Switch]].
## Markdown-powered Task Runners
There are some interesting task runners (CLI tools) that embed their tasks inside well-formatted markdown files. Similar ideas there. See:
