A task application

WDDM Task Manager

A better way to manage our tasks, to be renamed.

Planning

Let's start by planning our application

Consider

• How do you track your: Daily tasks? Long-term tasks?
• Can we improve the way we're storing information in our daily lives?

Applications

What we're currently using:

• Evernote
• MS "To Do"
• Vantage
• Calendar (Google, Apple, Outlook)
• Apple Note
• Apple Reminders

Conclusion

Task management (for us) is a combination of:

• "To Do" lists
• Calendars
• Notes

Data

What points of information do we need to keep track of?

Consider

• What information do we need to capture when defining a task?
• What does a "task" mean to you?

Your Job

1. Write a list of data points required make a task application useful
2. Structure those data points into properties/values of a JS object called task
3. Add sample data to the task, then add the task to an array called tasks

Data Points

Some possible datapoints we came up with:

• taskname
• startdate & starttime
• enddate & endtime
• repeat
• notes
• category (seperate calendar?)
• assignedto
• members
• priority
• complete / status
• reminders

Use Cases

To help with date and time, determine a few cases:

1. A start and end TIME that fall on the same day
2. A start and end TIME that fall on different days
3. A start date with no start time

Misc "To Do"

• User settings:
  • 24hr vs am/pm
• Type checking for new appointments
  • throw, possibly some try/catch?
