Tasker

My version of a todo app

TypeScript
pwa
todoapp
webdev

A todo app called tasker that prioritises useful functionality and low-friction access. Some key ideas/features I want to implement include are:

  • A centralised hub of tasks that syncs to other platforms (eg. Jira, Google tasks, ...)
  • Unobstructive widgets/extensions/notifications.
  • Local first storage with the option to sync with other devices using a storage solution of your choice
  • Tasks, Groupings, Projects, and Habits

Tasker

A centralised hub for creating, viewing, and completing tasks. Aims to minimize the friction of usage, and maximize the ease of access.

Main features

  • Provides users with a single hub to view all tasks from different sources (eg. GoogleTasks, jira, GitHub)
  • Users own their data and can choose where to store it. Users can store data with a cloud storage of their choosing (Bring your own storage, BYOS)

Mission

  • Provide users with a frictionless experience when using the app. Prioritising ease of access, usability, and inspiring accountability. (eg. Nice widgets, interaction through notification hub on mobile, cross-platform)
  • Puts users in control of their data and data storage
  • Be powerful enough to satisfy the needs of a power user

Bootstrap init message

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
