TaskManagingWebApp Project

A task managing web app that helps you organize your tasks and events. Built using Python Flask and FullCalendar.

This project is my first attempt at making a web app. It was originally inspired by Google Keep, and as Google Keep doesn't have a calendar, I decided to make my own task managing app.

This app allows you to do the following:

• Create events
• Create checklists
• View and move events on a calendar
• Set priority for events
• Sort events based off priorities

Known Issues

This app does not have pagination implemented. Therefore regular clean up is needed if you don't want the web pages to be extremly long.

Email Configuration(Password Reset)

To enable password reset emails, set the following environmental variables:

EMAIL_USER = "youremail.com"
EMAIL_PASS = "your_app_password" 

NOTE: an APP Password is not your normal Gmail Password. You can check it by: manage your google account --> search for app password ---> type in Gmail's URL ---> an app password will be generated for that URL's app

Update Notes:

1. Added light and dark mode.
2. Implemented some JS code for the account page.
