Notely - Work Notes | Shine to you manager in 1:1's

What I built

I built an application for people to log their work day in terms of tags, highlights, and detailed report. That way you can have a good record of everything you did when you start that promotion conversation.

Category Submission:

Search No More I am utilizing the search capabilities to help users search by tags, and hopefully more in the future.

Description

Create a log of a work day whenever you see fit and then have an ability to quickly search for it and remember what you did that day at a quick glance.

This is an MVP, I plan to add so much more to make this app even better. For example: custom tags, search by highlights, attachments (praise/good comments etc), tasks accomplished. That way your boss can't say that you have not done enough for a promotion 😇

Still deciding since I want to keep working on this. Just don't copy the code and claim its yours.

Background

I built this application because I often find myself scrambling last minute to remember what it is that I did in the past week/s before my manager 1:1s. Which hinders me getting a promotion if I am not constantly showing all of the amazing things I do, and how I participate in company culture 😎
This app solves the problem. You log a day with:

  • Tags - for search purposes
  • Highlights - quick glance reminder
  • Detailed report - treat this as a work journal, you can go in detail of your day, what you did, how you felt etc.

I plan on continuing to work on this after and add many more things and features. Ultimately turning this into an ideal lifestyle app for myself.

How I built it

  • Mongo - DB and ease of search
  • Express - server and API
  • Vue.js - front-end
  • Element Plus - component library
