Every developer, literally every developer, dreams of building something that will help boost their productivity.

Well, last weekend I made that. Hopefully, it will make me (and other users) productive. 👻

Requirement Analysis 🤪

• It should be easy to use - most important! 😇
• Design should be !ugly - wait, this is most important! 🎨
• Should have DARK theme - I'm a fan 🖤
• Simple Notes feature - to hold phone numbers, web links, adresses, etc 📝
• Simple Task list - Quickly create, check, delete tasks from the list ✅
• Should give me a daily inspirational quote - just in case I'm running low on fuel some day 😔

Technical Requirements

• Reactjs - because I wanted to learn it 🙈

Options on what to build

• Website
• Web Extension

Website is good option, but several constraints would creep in. Of which, following 2 bothered me the most:

• where to store user data
• is a website an accessible option to serve the purpose?

After giving in some thought, I decided to build a Web Extension instead.

• Data is stored in Browser (syncing across multiple browsers is taken care of)
• Web Extension can be a "New Tab" replacement. It cannot get easier than this.

Hence, minimylist was born!

Screenshots?

Here are links to the plugin:

minimylist just serves the right purpose for me, hoping you guys will like it. Please share your thoughts in comments and all suggestions are welcome. Ciao! 👋🏻

The best way to learn anything in Tech is by building something!
