Task Tactician

A task management application for adding, organizing, and tracking tasks. Features include marking tasks as important or completed, setting due dates, and organizing tasks into groups.

My Role

As the sole developer for the To-Do List application, I handled both frontend and backend development.

Tech Stack

This app is built using the MERN stack, with React.js for the frontend, Node.js and Express.js for the backend, and MongoDB for data storage. I handled all aspects of development, from design to deployment.

Pain Points Found

At first, the fixed sidebar was a big issue for small mobile screens because it took up too much space and made using the app harder. To fix this, I added a toggleable sidebar that users could show or hide as needed. This made the app much easier to use and worked well on all screen sizes.

What I learned?

Working on this project taught me how to approach problems with a solution-driven mindset. I gained hands-on experience in building responsive designs, managing full-stack development, and optimizing user experience. It also reinforced the importance of continuous testing, user feedback, and adapting to challenges to deliver a polished final product. Feel free to take a look at this working app demo:
