WLH Challenge: Building with Bolt Submission

This is a submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: Building with Bolt.

Inspiration

I wanted a productivity tool that helps plan the day realistically — something focused, not overwhelming. Inspired by sprint planning, ToDo Today turns each day into a mission: prioritize, execute, and win. It’s built for clarity, not clutter.

What it does

ToDo Today is a web-based productivity app that guides users through daily sprint planning, helps them focus with a timer, build habits, track long-term goals, and review progress over time. Clean and intuitive, it’s built for people who want to do more — without doing too much.

How I built it

The app is a full web experience built with React 18, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I defined clear models for Tasks, Goals, Sprints, Habits, and Settings. Features include a planning wizard, task execution view, recurring task logic, offline support via localStorage, and custom user preferences — all managed with React Context and useReducer.

Challenges I ran into

Designing the 3-step planning wizard while keeping it flexible and intuitive was tough. Managing recurring task logic, state syncing across sprints, and keeping the UI delightful without bloat also took iteration. Micro-interactions took time but made a big difference.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I built a full productivity system in one shot — from brain dump to focus mode, with sprints, habits, goals, stats, and a smooth UI. No filler. Just focused execution.

What I learned

Real productivity needs just enough structure to guide action, but not so much it becomes a chore. A system with goals, habits, and daily flow can be simple and powerful — especially with thoughtful UX.
