A Simple Productivity App built on Quasar and Firebase

EDIT (2020): I've created an updated version of the app that works offline using Quasar v1. You can check out the app over here. Also, it's open-s...

Hi Yev,

That's pretty good work - sometimes thinking about an idea and actually building it requires more than a push - kudos that you went through it. The UI looks very good, does it come bundled with Quasar?

Cheers!

You're totally right! It starts out fun but then when you can already see the end game, the remaining work looks like a chore. Thank you for appreciating that one out.

The UI elements indeed comes with quasar but I think it's not really bundled, you can select only the components you want. In my case I selected some and modified them to achieve that UI. The default UI components looks more like dashboard components to me so I modified them a bit to suit my taste.

Hi Yev,
Mi first result is, today, in the context of an old cell phone, ran out of battery long before usual. That's not, however, entirely attributable to your app.
But my question is how to get the desktop app. It would be much more useful for me in desktop.
Saludos,

Hi,
It might have contirbuted a little, it prevents the phone from sleeping. Although I also implemented a background persist feature so that you could just click the home button, let the phone sleep and it will just alert the user via push notifications once a sprint is done.

Unfortunately, I haven't implemented a desktop version yet. I originally wanted try building an app and share my experience, I didn't really think that some people would find the actual app interesting.

But I will be releasing a desktop version and will probably make it open source in the next week. Once done, I'll reply to you again if ever you're interested playing with it again.

Awesome. Good job :)

Was wondering if you could provide some more info or resources about the things you mentioned: how to keep the app running in background + local push notifications and also keeping it always active?

I’m planning to create an app that will require all these.

Once again, nice to see cool apps being built with Quasar!

Very cool. I hope you will release a web or desktop app. I really want to try this but the mobile keyboard is a UX killer considering the amount of ongoing typing required.

Looks great! Would be great if you could post it to github, I like the way you've customised the components.
