I am loving the latest Emacs Renaissance! All you can eat buffet, but you can take your lunch (and dinner) home :)

OTOH, org-mode already does this, without any need for external package and minimal config. It works really well, too!

Came here to say this. I use org-mode to do what OP's package is doing. But OP provides some features like

Not sure if we can make such specially-marked lines using org-mode. Never needed this feature myself. But for those who want a workflow like this the new package could be useful. But again maybe there is a way to do this without an external package with a little bit of elisp?

This repository hasn't been updated in 6 years, and is over 12 years old.

And as someone pointed out, Org mode could already do this.

Not really part of the Renaissance.
