Daily Tasks

One-liner: A beautiful, minimal daily to-do list — flat task list plus a “weekly focus” theme you can set per day of the week.

Origin: daily-tasks repo, React + Vite, deployed to GitHub Pages. Last pushed 2026-02-10 — the most recently touched of the small personal-tool repos.

What it actually does:

• Simple task management: add, complete, delete — a flat undated list, no per-day task assignment
• “Weekly focus” is just renaming each weekday label (Sun–Sat) to a custom word/theme (e.g. relabel “Monday” → “Deep Work”) — not a calendar or planner
• LocalStorage by default; falls back to working fully standalone with no setup

The genuinely interesting part — no backend, syncs via a GitHub Gist: Instead of running/paying for a server, you paste a personal access token + a private Gist ID into Settings, and the app PATCHes a tasks.json file in that gist on every change to get cross-device sync. A neat zero-infrastructure pattern worth reusing for other small personal tools, more than the to-do app itself is worth as a product idea.

Status: Functional, working, in personal use. Not a business idea — a genuinely useful personal utility. Captured here mainly to note the Gist-as-a-database sync trick as a reusable pattern.
