Sqrte Tasks – A Task Management App – Local-First and Privacy Minded

Hacker News

I have surveyed many personal task management applications but have always been left wanting. Of the ones I have tried, I appreciated the dashboard view style of Google Keep the most, but I'm not a fan of big tech owning my data and using me as a product. So, I set out to create something I could appreciate using. It solves my own problems so I'll appreciate wherever it lands, but hopefully it will solve others' problems too. This has been a pet project I've chipped away at here and there for quite a while. I believe I started even before Local First software was a thing. However, it turns out that if you're passionate about privacy and performance, you end up self-discovering many of the Local First principles. I found out later that Local First was a thing and that what I had been doing lined up with it's principles very nicely. See "Related Reading" below for more info on what Local First is if you're not familiar. The Sqrte Tasks front end can operate independent of a backend when running on a single device. Your data is stored locally in the browser and can be exported at will. I decided to open source the parts required to run standalone like this. The "premium" parts required for syncing across multiple devices (with e2e encryption) remain closed at this point but many of these parts reside in the public repo (under a different license) so that people can still see how it all works. Check out the brochure page for more info: https://tasks.sqrte.com/info Launch Sqrte Tasks Here (no account required): https://tasks.sqrte.com If you have ideas, feel free to reach out on Github: https://github.com/SqrteSoftware/tasks I hope you like this take on what todo lists can be. I would love to hear any feedback you may have. Have fun! --------- Related Reading: Local-first software: you own your data, in spite of the cloud https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21581444 https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/
