🧠 Bliq — Project Story

💡 Inspiration

As developers, we constantly juggle between local todos, GitHub issues, and Trello boards. This context-switching slows us down, fragments our focus, and creates redundant task lists. I wanted a workspace where everything lived together—fast, offline-first, and tailored for developers. That idea became Bliq.

⚙️ What It Does

Bliq is a sleek, Notion-inspired task manager that unifies:

  • ✅ Local Markdown-style tasks (instantly added)
  • 🐙 GitHub issues (view, comment, close)
  • 📋 Trello cards (push local tasks, track progress)

You can add tasks fast, sync seamlessly, complete with comments, and stay focused—all in one clean, offline-capable interface.

🛠 How We Built It

  • React + Vite for a lightning-fast dev experience
  • IndexedDB for local-first storage and offline support
  • GitHub & Trello APIs for sync and task management
  • Tailwind CSS for clean, accessible UI
  • All scaffolded from a single Bolt.new prompt, then expanded with micro-animations, smooth flows, and PWA support

🧱 Challenges We Ran Into

  • Keeping UI smooth while syncing Trello tasks asynchronously
  • Designing a “complete with comment” flow that works across platforms
  • Managing integration states (local vs GitHub vs Trello) in a simple UX
  • Avoiding a backend while enabling smart data persistence

🏆 Accomplishments We’re Proud Of

  • Fully functional MVP built from a single Bolt.new prompt
  • Seamless, async task creation + Trello push
  • Offline-first architecture with instant local cache
  • A genuinely clean, fast UI devs love using
  • Intuitive task flows across multiple platforms

📚 What We Learned

  • Great UX = fewer features, more speed
  • Bolt.new + the right prompt can generate solid foundations
  • Offline-first makes task managers 10x more usable
  • Developers want one workspace, not five apps

🚀 What’s Next for Bliq

  • 🔗 Integrate Notion & Linear
  • 🎙 Add voice capture for tasks
  • 🐙 GitHub issue creation from local tasks
  • 📱 Build a mobile PWA
  • 🧪 Launch to dev communities for feedback
