I use the task notes extension in obsidian. I would like you to make me a lightweight desktop app that runs on the markdownfiles that tasknotes uses in obsidian but can be opened separately from obsidian. I would like to have cutting edge elegeant graphic design –choose some 2020s typefaces (or type face). It would be very light weight, and i would not need a calendar view but would like to be able to organise things by tags and dates and deadlines.

I'll build this for you. First let me look at how TaskNotes stores its data in your vault and what toolchains are available on your machine, so the app reads your real files correctly.
### Assistant
Tasks live in `TaskNotes/Tasks`. Let me check the actual task file format and the custom statuses/priorities config.

Now the UI — a single-file front end, editorial design: warm paper ground, Instrument Serif display, Inter for the interface, hairline rules, no chrome.
