It may say more about me than the person writing these type of README's, but if I see more than one or two emojis in a README, I immediately assume it was fully generated rather than written.
Congrats on the launch.
However, task management apps are so unbelievably common nowadays. Nothing that can't be solved by notepad on PC, or the clock/calendar app on my phone / and if I really need a task app, I'll use google's or build my own.
Your next step should be to take what you have learned from building this app, and focus on fixing a real problem that people around you face.
I for one think it’s refreshing to see someone just posting a cool project they worked on without it being the next coming of Jesus or some AI-powered/coded nonsense people only pretend to care about so they can feel they are “on top of today’s tech”.
HN nowadays is too LinkedIn-like for comfort, with people posting their larger-than-God projects and humble-brag filled articles.
Kudos to the author of this project.
Never mind the self-appointed greybeards using this as their own little podium. Hope you had fun making it (and learning with it!).
And yet, there are still basically no good task management apps for desktop. Todoist is the only one that comes to mind, but it's closed source and cloud/subscription based.
I'm really waiting for the desktop tasks.org client to come out. Until then, I can only manage my tasks from my phone, because no other FOSS apps come even close.
First time I've seen "we let you change your password" advertised as a feature
what gives you the confidence to express judgment that this is a low-stakes vibe-coded app, rather than something lovingly put together by a human?
Sure it's not open-source, but none of the open-source tools are as polished as that.

That is the most important value Linear brings to me. There are other tools that can achieve similar effects, but I learned how to do it with Linear at work so I stuck with that. On top of this, Linear has priorities, deadlines, task blocking relations, etc., that naturally reflect how I prioritize issues in life. This is the same as how I prioritize tasks to do at work. Once again there are tools to do this outside of Linear, but none of them are as polished to use and just work.
Habitica got me started on flossing and made me quit Reddit (did eventually lapse on the Reddit thing, so maybe I need to reopen my account)

Key features: - Task creation with date/time scheduling - Local notifications for reminders - Real-time sync across devices via Firestore - Category-based organization (work, vacation, events) - Clean dark theme UI with Material Design 3
Tech stack: Flutter/Dart, Firebase Auth, Cloud Firestore, local notifications.
The app is still under active development, but the core functionality is working. I built it to solve my own need for a simple, privacy-focused task tracker that works across platforms (Android, iOS, Web, Desktop).
What I'd love feedback on: - The notification system implementation - UI/UX improvements - Feature suggestions - Code quality and architecture (it's my first larger Flutter project)
The codebase is MIT licensed and contributions are welcome. I'm particularly interested in feedback from Flutter developers on best practices I might be missing.

What do you think? What features would make this more useful for your workflow?

Consider also supporting remoteStorage <http://remotestorage.org/>, both so that you don't have to operate (admin/provision/whatever) services, and to make it easier for contributors (they don't need to prop something up, either, even if it is just Firebase). And just general user control over data.
If you run into any serious issues, you're likely to get a fair bit of interest on the remoteStorage community message boards to help work things out.
PS: add screenshots somewhere.
