Overview

The Challenge

TaskBuddy is a personal task management app I built for my own day-to-day organization: capture tasks quickly, group them into projects, and see at a glance what needs attention next. It's not launched publicly — I use it myself.

Process

How it was built

01

Designed Around Quick Capture

The core loop of any task app is capture, organize, complete. TaskBuddy keeps the capture step as close to zero friction as possible so tasks actually make it into the system instead of living in my head.

02

Built with Vanilla JavaScript

The app is built from scratch in vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS with no framework, which kept it lightweight and let me move fast on a tool that's just for personal use.
