TLDR version: ProgressCove, my calm, multiplatform task manager that has a glass half-full perspective, avoids red texts and past due anxiety as it only leads to procrastination.

I talk about: - Brief origin story: How I started writing middleware for another to-do app project status display for Echo Show screen and didn't stop there. - Backend architecture choices: Network segmentation, frameworks and sustainability as a solo dev. - App stack: Expo React Native, WatermelonDB offline first storage with online sync, Cloudflare workers to serve web app, Python FastAPI, PostgreSQL/PgBouncer - AI coding without the slop: How I use Claude as my junior developer under strict technical oversight. - Smart task prioritization: Task and project ordering by a combo metric based on completion percentages, helping users focus on tasks closer to completion and a U-shaped task age decay to surface new items instantly, drop mid-aged tasks, and eventually float old backlog projects. - Smart Home: Home Assistant integration, chores as buttons that dim/highlight based on due status for wall tablets with 10 second debounce window to avoid mistaps. - Soup Mode: Recurring tasks with variations (useful for rotating meals, movies or workout routines) that will randomize your next task. - Advanced options: Keeping things simple and clean for anyone with anxiety and providing secret power user options, such as 8 level deep nesting and ability to name your task tiers, where a project can be a donkey!
