🥧 TaskPie 🥧

TaskPie is a time management and task planning app for Android and iOS, intended to help users visualize how much of the day is devoted to different tasks and better estimate how long a task will take via recording tools.

The first version of TaskPie was developed by Theo Moon (he/they), formerly known as Lee Higgins, using Flutter SDK and Firebase from July 6-24th, 2020 to satisfy his Capstone project for Ada Developers Academy, Cohort 13. This app is a work in progress with future enhancements planned. Check back later for updates!

🥧 Features

Current features are marked with a check, and planned features will be completed as time allows.

As a user...

• I want to be able to log into the app using Google or email/password. (MVP)
• I want my calendar to look like a circle representing a 24-hour clock, which is split into "pie slices," each representing a single task, so I can see all of the day's activities and what percentage of the day they take up. (MVP)
• I want to be able to create and update tasks via a form. (MVP)
• I want to be able to view task details by tapping on a pie slice, including buttons to edit or delete the event. (MVP)
• I want to be able to assign categories to my tasks (e.g., sleeping, eating, socializing, etc.), so I can view how much of my day those categories take up (with color coding).
• I want to be able to record how long it takes to complete a task, so I can better predict the time needed for that task in the future.
• I want to be prompted by push notifications when a task is approaching and ending, so I can be reminded to record time.
• I want a stats page that shows me my daily average time spent in each category, given a date range.
• I want a settings button in the top bar that opens up a menu where I can see my name, a logout button, a button to access my task stats, and be able to switch between day and night mode.
• I want to be able to import my tasks from Google Calendar (or from a CSV file), so I do not have to recreate tasks I've already entered elsewhere. (Note: Overlapping tasks are not yet supported.)
• I want to be able to set a custom start and end hour for my calendar, so I can define the boundaries of my day (e.g., day starts when I wake up at 8am)
• I want to be able to share my calendar with friends by superimposing their pie chart over mine, so I can easily see where our free time aligns and plan tasks together.

🥧 Acknowledgements

This app would not be possible without the support of the following individuals and organizations:

• Ada Developers Academy, a non-profit, tuition-free coding school for women and gender diverse adults, which focuses on serving low income people, underrepresented minorities, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

• Cohort 13, the fiercest, most tenacious bunch of software developers I have ever known. We completed our capstone projects in just three weeks during a global pandemic, national protests for Black racial justice, and countless personal hurdles. Many of us had zero experience with coding prior to entering Ada Developers Academy. I am so proud of us and all that we have achieved!

• The Flutter Capstones Slack channel, a.k.a. #geniuslevelideas, who kept each other company with jokes, laughter, commiseration, and development support throughout the process.

• My roommate, friends with ADHD, and teachers at Ada Developers Academy, who inspired the idea for this app and helped me bring it to life.

• My family and friends who contributed to my crowdfund and made it possible for me to move to Seattle to attend Ada Developers Academy.

• And Freepik, for providing this cute icon for the app logo!
