Last week’s project was a task tracking app! It’s local first but integrates with [sync], which acts as a shared data layer with notes. This means you can create tasks in notes, and view, modify, and update them in the tasks app.

besides that it’s a pretty simple app. you can tag notes with hashtags, you can set due dates by typing due:tomorrow, due:02/03, due:monday, or even due:+4.

I’ve also laid the foundation for API integration for future hardware projects, such as pebble watch integration or a fridge mounted todo list. But I’ve otherwise kept tasks very simple, sticking to the “that’s it” theme.

An Evolving Process

You might notice that notes and tasks look nearly identical. This is because I’m using the same template and UI components for both. By doing this, previous projects benefits from innovations or fixes made in the current project, and the time from idea to product becomes shorter with each project. Notes and sync took nearly the full week to ship, where as tasks only took a couple hours.

As I refine this process, I feel confident it’s ready to take on more ambitious projects, Like fitness/calorie tracking, expense management, and AI services.
