About the Project

I sometimes struggle with focused, goal-driven productivity. A well-organized ToDo list doesn't necessarily lead to focus and actually getting stuff done.

Over time, I tried out many methods and ended up typically using a mix between GTD, overengineered ToDo lists, excessive note-taking, and Pomodoro. Nevertheless, I always felt the need for a tool that supports all these approaches properly, which led to the creation of Tempus.

Tempus will embody my vision of an optimal app to manage and productively handle tasks from different sources.

Features

Tempus Productivity will offer several key features to enhance productivity:

• Time Management: Combines elements of Pomodoro, GTD, and minimal ToDo lists.
• Task Integration: Supports tasks from various sources for comprehensive management.
• User-friendly Interface: Designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
• Customizable Workflows: Allows users to tailor their productivity methods.

Technology

Tempus is built using the Redwood.js framework and Supabase. Redwood is a full-stack framework for building React apps, offering many helpful capabilities. Supabase is an open-source alternative to Firebase, built around PostgreSQL. It provides Database, Auth, Logging, Storage, Edge Functions, and more.

The UI is built with TailwindCSS and based on Shadcn/ui blocks.

Architecture

• Frontend: Built with TypeScript and Redwood.js, utilizing React Server Components for dynamic rendering.
• Backend: Powered by Supabase for database management, authentication, logging, and storage.
• Analytics: Integrated with Posthog to track user interactions and gather analytics data.
• CMS: Uses PayloadCMS for content management, providing a flexible and user-friendly interface for managing content.
