I'm happy for you building this app, it's tremendous effort to build a flutter application, and this should feel like an achievement for you.
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.
"To Do" or "Task Manager" apps seem to be just the most common thing to build after "hello, world." They are simple, easily scoped, something most people can intuitively understand, yet include all the basic features needed for any other app. So you can focus on how to implement rather than understanding what you are building.
Seriously! "Look at my new to do app" is how you say "I'm a junior dev who just learned how to program" without saying "I'm a junior dev who just learned how to program" ;)
So what. If we allowed posts from only the most enlightened programmers whose elegant architectural energy allows them to hover 6 inches off the ground HN would be empty.
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!).
Haha tysm for a positive feedback. This was my second project in Flutter (made this for sake of learning). Also I've built more advanced projects in Flutter but those a proprietary apps and one of em are on Play Store too :).

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.
The thing about Warhammer is there are so many ways to experience it and an unbelieveable amount of content. I've never set hands on the codex (guide books) nor the actual miniatures (too expensive) but I've read so many books from the dark library, and engaged most of its community through its lore. I've spent the last 3 years just within the circle of the Horus Heresy, I don't know anything about the Tau nor the Orks... The game has so much to offer its actually incredible.
I've always wondered about the licensing on their video games. There are just so absurdly many of them. Somebody could have a game collection just made up of Warhammer and it'd be more than enough to last many years!
Totally agree. Took me a while to get there though – early versions were very "here's a blank canvas, good luck." Turns out parents don't want to search through millions of songs. The Browse tab with curated stuff made a big difference. Thanks!
My favorite book this year has to be The Divine Farce, I haven't been gripped by a story like that in years. A short stay in hell falls in the same category. I'm still reading a book by Barbara Kingsolver: Demon Copperhead. It's really good and I like the story, but I have not finished it yet since I can't seem to find the time for it. Some other short stories like an inhabitant of Carcossa...
I was looking to add a few posters to my room, and this came at the right time.
The only one that interested me was: Colossus: The Forbin Project, as I love Michael Colombier's OST in that. Other than that, it's hard for me as a 23-year-old to find movies I've seen here. The earliest I can think of is Indiana Jones, and The Rocketeer, and those are in the 90s.
++ for reference to "Colossus: The Forbin Project"
I only discovered that film about a decade ago, and it quickly became a favorite.
What’s wild is how it’s shifted from pure sci-fi to something that feels eerily plausible, especially with how tech has evolved in just the last five years.
Colossus: In time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love.
Dr. Forbin: NEVER!
Bay Photo, https://bayphoto.com. Good prices, great service; I use them for my own work, at sizes beyond what I can do in my own shop. Next time they disappoint will be the first.
Recently discovered this movie. I still can't believe it was done in 1970! The visual props of the huge mainframes, tape drives, blinking lights, etc were real-computing gear from Control Data Corporation (CDC). Probably one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.
The poster for Colossus:Forbin was very disappointing. The title sequence graphics for the movie were great - but the poster doesn’t show a computer at all, although the movie is all about them.
