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!
