Really nice project! Thanks for sharing with us!

Having structured timekeeping capability in plain text (due dates/deadlines, work estimates, time tracking) is also a core feature of org-mode. Do you have a sense for how your approach compares?

I haven't used org mode. I should probably look into it. If you know how it compares, though, I'm all ears. Always looking to improve.

org-mode is fairly structured by default. It's hierarchal with built in support for properties on nodes. There's a built in format for dates.

Not sure how well any of the non-emacs parsers work though.
