Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Have you given any thoughts to allowing additional storage providers? I've been wanting to build a similar CLI task management tool, backed by GitLab issues using the API. But now I'm thinking...what if we expand taskbook to allow for N number of storage providers.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Decouple storage from the file system, allowing anyone to write a shim between the taskbook data model and an external storage provider (think GitLab, GitHub issues or Trello/JIRA or S3, etc.)

**Additional context**
Spoiler alert: I work for GitLab 😄 🦊

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating taskbook's data model and filesystem storage implementation, then determine how a GitLab issues provider could fit the proposed provider boundary. Done criteria and the provider interface are not specified and would need agreement before implementation.
