Inspiration

We were inspired to create TASKYNG because pandemic has completely changed how we use technology to work and learn from home. Even as we are shifting slowly back to in-person, these changes are here to stay and so are some of their challenges. One challenge would be staying focused and productive on the work we need to get done when distractions are just a few button clicks away. Another challenge would be keeping track of all our tasks, habits, and ideas as we adapt to our changing lifestyles. TASKYNG is our attempt to address some of these challenges in a simple and effective way.

What it does

TASKYNG serves as a productivity dashboard, where users can access a variety of features, like a task tracker, a habit tracker, and a quick notes section. These features allow users to better organize their lives and be more productive. Users can add multiple habits to the habit tracker and add multiple tasks to the task tracker. Users can also clear the task tracker itself with the click of a button.

How we built it

  1. We started a Google Chrome Extension and looked at the “Getting started” with Chrome extensions documentation.
  2. We made the extension open a new web page.
  3. We split up 4 different components and worked on them (time, tasks, habit tracker, and note taking).
  4. We integrated the 4 parts and formatted accordingly.
  5. We finished for now!

Challenges we ran into

One challenge that we ran into was how to store the data locally so that when we closed the tab, we would be able save the information when we reopened it. Another challenge was how to format the elements so that two elements could be put side to side. Another challenge we ran into was when we realized one of our ideas was unfeasible in the current time constraints and had to come up with something new on the spot.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being able to navigate through the chrome extensions documentation to create our very first chrome extension

What we learned

The biggest thing we learned was how to create a google chrome extension. We also learned more about how to work with HTML element lists.

What's next for TASKYNG

For TASKYNG, we would want to integrate our daily schedule from Google Calendar into the dashboard in the Chrome extension. To do this, we would have to use a Google Calendar API and OAuth 2. We would also want to use the Unsplash API to integrate a daily changing background onto the dashboard page. We would also make the elements on the screen more versatile for other screen sizes.
