Development Approach

I built TCHECK TODO CLI as a passion project after finding most task management apps either too visually complex.

The design philosophy was “simplicity” - ensuring that every action could be performed efficiently without spending time on planning but on doing them.

Challenges & Solutions

One of the main challenges was creating a command-line interface that would be intuitive for both technical and non-technical users.

The project continues to evolve based on user feedback, with a focus on maintaining the minimalist terminal aesthetic while adding powerful productivity features that users request.

Lessons Learned

This project reinforced the value of designing for specific user preferences rather than trying to appeal to everyone. By focusing on users who value minimalist interfaces, I was able to create something unique that resonates strongly with its target audience.

I also learned valuable lessons about balancing aesthetics with functionality - maintaining the terminal look while ensuring the application remains intuitive and accessible to users who might not be familiar with command-line interfaces.
