Lately, my days (and nights!) have been all about managing a talented team of developers at the Joy of Coding Academy. It’s a wild ride—long hours, a whirlwind of tasks, and lots of caffeine. But it’s also some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever done. And here’s the kicker: we’re not just building any app; we’re creating a game-changer (literally) for all you task managers and game enthusiasts out there.
After several intense weeks of mastering Python, I decided to dive headfirst into a new challenge: a React-based game app. But this isn’t just another to-do list app—oh no. This is a fully customizable To-Do List that rewards you for checking off those pesky tasks. Forget about gold stars or virtual badges. We’re talking bonuses in a built-in dungeon crawler. Every completed task powers up your character, giving you the tools and skills to conquer the next dungeon level. So, doing laundry? That’s an attack boost. Finishing that report? Say hello to extra armor.
It’s been a fun blend of project management and creative problem-solving as I help our team bring this vision to life. I’ve learned the ins and outs of React (turns out, JavaScript and I are becoming fast friends), and every new feature we build feels like adding another puzzle piece to an epic adventure.
Stay tuned, because soon enough, your to-do list might just be your new favorite game.
