Inspiration - I've always wanted a way to track efficiency completing various tasks in my life. I also wanted to get an idea of truly how I spend my time so that I can improve my life. Life Timer was born in 2016 while I was in college, originally developed using Wolfram Mathematica. I decided to take it to the web this time and I integrated it with web3 to allow users to benefit financially using it. Web3 is not yet integrated, however it will be completed during this hackathon.

What it does - Life Timer is a very simple and efficient GUI designed to make it easy to time activities throughout your day. Once you start building data, Life Timer will provide a selection of graphs, data and other metrics to help analyze how you live your life.

Integration with Web3 is a coming feature. We will mint a token "Life Timer Token" where you will 1. Only be able to access certain app features if you hold tokens (creates demand) 2. Will be able to earn tokens by utilizing the app 3. Will be allowed to pay tokens to mint NFTs of your charts (i.e. a pie chart showing how your day went).

How we built it - This was built over the last 6 years first utilizing Wolfram Mathematics and now on a simple web app utilizing Javascript, jQuery, PHP and web3 technology. The flagship of the project is the simple user interface which has been optimized to select activities as quickly as possible so that activites can be continuously timed with low friction.

Challenges we ran into - Web3 technology has a learning curve, however the roadmap is clear and the needs of our project are very simple. The application is fairly simple, however I a lone developer without significant free time. The hardest part is carving out time to develop the application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of - Having this application on the web has been a goal of mine. I want people to use this app and optimize their life.

What's next for Life Timer dApp - Web3 integration is coming SOON. At first, no web3 is available. By the end of 2021, functionality will be there only to check balances of accounts with Life Timer Token and allow them to use the app and gain tokens from activities. Functionality will be built out early 2021 to allow users to mint NFTs of their daily pie charts.
