Kairos

Devlog 2 - Refining the Day View

In the last devlog, I showed a working editable timeline where you can move blocks around to schedule them.

This time, I completed the full functionality that I want for my app to have with making schedules.

There are two things: blocks and tasks. Blocks are units that you can schedule in your day. Tasks are items that you can complete in a day.

The timeline now allows you to create, edit block name, edit block times, convert a block into a checkable block (like a task + block), and add associations.

Associations are what really makes Kairos super powerful as it allows you to connect how you spend your time (blocks) and what you do (tasks) to a particular goal or area of focus in life.

These associations are defined in separate markdown files, and they influence the color of the blocks on the page.

The app is far from done, but now I can use it to schedule blocks and define tasks for a day!

Kairos is greek for “the exact, critical, or opportune moment for action.”

Kairos is for people whose time isn’t fully their own (students, employees, or anyone juggling shifting commitments) who need to decide how they spend their time before it’s decided for them.

This applies a lot for me. When I’m in school, I feel like I’m constantly juggling with school work, clubs, and trying to have fun with friends. Sometimes it feel like I’m dropping a few balls while juggling everything.

I built this as a alternative to my other productivity plugin Holos because I realized that task-based planning is not as effective as time-based planning, where you actually have to specify when you are planning to do something.

I hope that this will be the last productivity app that I build (and that it works well for me and others!!!)
