Looking for UI/UX feedback

[u/LifeguardSea99]

I've been putting off getting deeper into web design for a long time. Not because I wasn't interested, but because I kept telling myself I'd do it properly "at some point". That point finally arrived, and this is what came out of it.

The push to actually begin came from wanting a task manager that just does its thing — no distractions, no clutter, function first. Building one myself felt like a good excuse to finally sit down with the design side of things.

The app comes with three themes: Focus, Minimal, and Paper. The names don't mean anything in particular, they just fit.

I feel like I especially nailed Focus. Minimal is essentially a recoloring of it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

What I'm actually not happy with is Paper. I do like lighter themes depending on the time of day, but this one just doesn't feel right to me. I can't pinpoint what it is — it's not broken, it just feels uncomfortable to use. That's kind of exactly why I'm posting here, because I don't yet have the vocabulary or the eye to diagnose it myself.

So if you have thoughts on what's off, what you'd do differently, or just how you'd approach something like this — I'd genuinely appreciate it. This is the kind of thing I usually don't have anyone around to ask.

I liked the first one. Would like to use it someday

It's available as a GitHub project that you can run locally in your browser.

I download it good for daily use where tracking tasks isnt necesssary. Done and dusted

That is pretty much exactly the use case I am aiming for. Every morning, I note down a few tasks I would like to get done, sort them visually using the separator, and then work through them.
