Inspiration
Our inspiration stemmed from our shared student experiences, where relying solely on phone notes for deadlines left us wanting a more organized approach. Existing to-do list apps lacked the ability to prioritize tasks effectively, sorting only by date, and we wanted a system that not only managed deadlines but also provided a tangible sense of accomplishment after finishing an assignment.
What it does
TaskFeed is a comprehensive to-do list and task management application. Users can input assignments, include brief descriptions, and assign a daily priority level from 1-3, 1 being highest priority and 3 being lowest. This app is aimed at curbing procrastination by dividing up large tasks into daily sizable chunks, where it encourages tackling large projects in a set amount of time each day. The app consists of three main sections: a daily task list that you can add to, a general task list encompassing all assignments, and a social feed where users can connect with friends, creating a sense of mutual accountability. This combination ensures not just task completion but a shared celebration of achievements.
How we built it
Prototyped in Figma, built using CSS, HTML, JavaScript, React GitHub Link: https://github.com/blloop/taskfeed
Challenges we ran into
There were some miscommunications on the design, but we were able to resolve them through sketching out different iterations and mutual discussion. The frontend is functioning well, but we weren't able to write to our database due to CORS issues that we could not figure out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud to have been able to complete something that works during this hackathon.
What we learned
This is our first time collaborating as a group for a web app, and we learned a lot about working in a team of designers and developers to create a web app product.
What's next for TaskFeed
We didn't have time to build out the entire social system, so next steps include building the comments system, friends system, and possibly gamifying it to help make completing tasks a more fun and engaging experience.
