Case study

TaskOrbit

A live productivity system I use to manage tasks, planning, and workflows — shipped solo from auth to deployment.

TaskOrbit is a productivity application for organizing tasks, tracking status and due dates, and managing daily workflows through a single workspace.

01 — Problem

What problem does it solve?

Scattered tools break focus. I needed one workspace for tasks, status, due dates, and planning without slowing down daily use.

02 — Origin

How the idea took shape

During busy weeks at Omniful, I was juggling deadlines across multiple tools. I built TaskOrbit as the system I would actually open every day.

03 — Role

My role

  • Owned end-to-end product design, UI implementation, API integrations, authentication, and production deployment.
  • Architected reusable components and custom hooks to reduce duplication and simplify feature development.
  • Built task creation, editing, status management, due-date tracking, and filtering workflows.

04 — Challenge

The challenge

  • Keeping task-heavy screens responsive as filters and data volume grew.
  • Designing predictable state across create, edit, and status-change flows.
  • Balancing a simple daily workflow with enough structure for planning.

05 — Approach

The approach

  • Built a feature-oriented frontend with shared UI primitives and hooks to avoid duplication across modules.
  • Used TanStack Query for server-state caching and Zustand for lightweight client workflow state.
  • Deployed on Next.js + Supabase with PostgreSQL for auth and reliable data persistence.
  • Designed mobile-first layouts so task entry and review stay fast on any device.

06 — Outcomes

Key outcomes

  • Live production deployment with authenticated user journeys and core task management flows.
  • Reusable frontend patterns that made adding new productivity features significantly faster.
  • Open-source repository documenting architecture decisions for recruiters and collaborators.

07 — Differentiator

What makes this different

  • Full product ownership beyond employer work — authentication, APIs, performance, and responsive UI.
  • Solo-shipped SaaS with live URL and GitHub source, not a tutorial todo app.
  • Modern stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, TanStack Query) aligned with current product engineering standards.
