An eisenhower matrix based to-do list.
I used to have a text file that was a todo list, and it worked well, until it grew far beyond control. Then I tried out Wunderlist and while an elegant presentation, I quickly lost track of what was important. Then I spent a weekend trying out angularjs to build a todo list just for myself, and this is it.
- The Eisenhower matrix is the most effective I know for prioritizing, it was integrated in the design level
- A big list of tasks, similar to Wunderlist is a great way to view them
- Most big tasks have a lot of little pieces, so every task can have any number of subtasks
- A little note pad to jot random notes.
- I was designing for my own use, so flexbox was an elegant approach to modern layouts.
- I was curious about testing AngularJS in a real but simple scenario, so I did.
- I like Compass & SCSS, so I used that.
- I didn't want to setup a database for something so trivial, so I googled for free nosql databases in the cloud, MongoLab arbitrarily chosen.
