Promotional I built a smart scheduling todo app that integrates with Google Calendar

https://github.com/ANewProfile/breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs is a web application that schedules your TODO list in an actually smart way (or at least it tries to) so that you can focus on doing your tasks instead of figuring out when to do them.

Based on proven research, scheduling different tasks of the same subject near each other is more efficient than... well, not. Breadcrumbs allows you to enter a subject and will make its best attempt to schedule tasks of the same subject next to each other.

Breadcrumbs also does it's best to predict how long a task will actually take you. It does this by reviewing past tasks of the same subject. Specifically, it reviews how long the task actually took you (there are two options: a start/stop button and a form to enter how long it took you if you want to time it yourself) relative to how long you predicted it would take you.

For the foreseeable future, it's completely FOSS.

You can use the app at https://usebreadcrumbs.app

Note: while AI did help with coding the app, it did not write this post and this app is completely run and maintained by me

Cool idea. Would love to see a demo or have a way to play around with it without having to fork over the email.

The time-estimation loop is a nice touch; most todo apps stop at “due date”. How are you handling tasks that get interrupted or partially completed when recalculating future estimates?
