CakeTasks

This is the source code for CakeTasks, Alpha Version 0.a.1

CakeTasks is being built with Electron and ReactJS

Public Alpha

This application is in development. This is the Alpha prototype which will be used in user testing, specifically to gather design ideas and usability data around the main feature, which will be a visualization of prioritized tasks.

Operation:

The UI consists of the header, Toolbar on the left, and the main task list area.

In the Header, you can type letters in the search box to quickly filter the task list Sort by: allows you to choose TaskName, DueDate, Subject, Effort and Notes, which you may sort in Ascending (A-Z / 0-9) or Descending (Z-A / 9-0) order Tap New Task and fill in the form to create a new task Mouse over your tasks in the main task list and you will see a small action menu

• The green checkbox allows you to track completion of a task without deleting it from your view
• The blue edit icon allows you to update the text, but currently only works for the most recently created New Task

Known issues as of February 16, 2017

• Import and Tell a Friend pages have not been implemented -- they currently invoke the About page.
• ABC order does not properly alphebetize uppercase with lowercase text.
• Sort by: DueDate does not sort with consideration for DueTime
• Edit task form should be pre-populated with values from the selected task.
• Edit task feature currently only works on the most recent task you create.
