Created a PRD for My Task Tracker Project (Focused on OSS Devs)

Ankesh Sharma — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:39:18 +0000

Hey devs,

I’ve been working on a Task Tracker / Project Management Tool, and this time I started with a PRD before coding to get more clarity.

What this project is about
It’s a tool designed for individual developers and OSS contributors who struggle to track:

GitHub Issues
Pull Requests
Todos across multiple repos

All in one place.

Problem I’m trying to solve
Right now, there are very limited options that centralize OSS work (PRs, issues, tasks) into a single dashboard. Most tools are either too heavy or not focused on individual workflows.

Core idea

GitHub-based authentication
Fetch PRs, issues, and tasks across repos
Unified dashboard for tracking everything
Individual mode + Team mode
Email reminders for deadlines (must-have)

Key Features

Project Board (Kanban + Table view)
Custom columns (todo, in-progress, done, etc.)
Task detail panel with markdown support
Timeline view (like git history of work)
GitHub issue-based tracking
Email notifications/reminders

Tech Stack

Frontend: React + Tailwind (Vercel)
Backend: Node.js + Express (Render)
Auth: Firebase + GitHub OAuth
DB: MongoDB Atlas
Email: SendGrid

Goals

Simple UI, better-than-average UX
Centralized task visibility
Build something useful (and actually used)
Learn while building

Known Risks

Email limitations (especially Gmail domain restrictions)
Dependency on SendGrid free tier

I’ve shared the full PRD here:
iamankeshsharma/Task-Tracker

Would really appreciate your feedback on:

Feature scope (too much / too little?)
Missing use cases
UX flow improvements
OSS-specific needs I might’ve missed

Let’s build something useful for developers, not just another tool.

Stop Repeating ESLint & Prettier Setup in Every Project

Ankesh Sharma — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:50:25 +0000

While starting new projects, I noticed I was repeatedly doing the same setup — configuring ESLint and Prettier every single time.

It didn’t make much sense.

Setting up linters and formatters repeatedly across projects is not only time-consuming but also inefficient. Most projects share the same base rules anyway.

So I created a shared configuration package that I can reuse across projects.

With this setup:

You install the package
Extend the configuration
Add project-specific rules on top if needed

And that’s it. The whole setup takes just a couple of minutes instead of repeating the same configuration again and again.

This helps keep:

Code style consistent
Setup time minimal
Configurations centralized and easier to maintain

I’ve open-sourced the configuration so others can use it or suggest improvements.

GitHub Repo:
https://github.com/iamankeshsharma/eslint-config

If you check it out, I’d really appreciate feedback on how it can be improved.

Always open to suggestions 🚀

How should we remember syntax?

About Me

I'm a web developer, Developed this to express my technical proficiency in developing websites.

Portfolio

How I Built It

Used react, python flask.
Used antigravity for most of the base setup and bug resolution.
other things are written by me.

Design for portfolio is complete.

Just completed design of portfolio little late but yeh now it complete.
Will start implementing.
