Someday (The Evasive To-Do List)

This is a submission for the DEV April Fools Challenge

What I Built

Someday is the world’s first "Procrastination-First" task manager. It looks like a minimalist productivity tool, but the checkboxes are sentient and terrified of commitment. Every time you try to check off a task, the box calculates the vector of your cursor and flees in the opposite direction.

How I Built It

I wanted to explore the boundaries of user frustration through DOM manipulation. The logic uses a mousemove listener that calculates the distance between the cursor and the checkbox using the Pythagorean theorem. If the cursor enters the "danger zone," the AI-generated logic triggers a CSS transform: translate() to move the box. I architected it so that the "Delete" button works perfectly, proving it's always easier to give up than to get things done.
