I created EncryptedGist [1][2] to cover part of this use case. It gets me Vim backed by GitHub Gists on any machine I happen to be working on. Adding localStorage would be easy [3], but undesirable for my main purpose - I do not want any of my personal information remaining on the machine.

Edit: And just in case it wasn't obvious, I prefer to maintain my todo list/logs/notes/projects/bookmarks in a single plaintext file. Grows about 30k lines/year. Vim search/grep and some basic structuring/naming conventions go a long way.

Top of the file is my todo list with priority order of top 3 tasks. Next is a 'Waiting For' list. Last is a 'Projects' list for longer term, high-level categories. This fits on a single screen. Completed tasks, meeting notes, logs, bookmarks, etc., go below in chronological order and are all associated with a date. This system has worked well for the last decade or so with minor changes.
