Comet Pulse - Time-Aware Task Manager

Project Overview

Comet Pulse originated from the need for a more fluid and time-aware approach to personal task management. Many individuals, from students to professionals, struggle to balance their to-do lists with the actual time available. Standard Kanban boards track task progress, but often fail to connect tasks directly to time constraints. Comet Pulse addresses this by providing an intuitive, web-based Kanban task manager designed to help users visualize and organize their work within specific timeframes. It combines the simplicity of a visual Kanban board with integrated time allocation features, making it easier to plan focused work sessions and understand task feasibility within a given period. The goal is to offer a lightweight, accessible tool that transforms task management from a simple checklist into a dynamic, time-conscious planning process, all within a visually engaging interface.

Key Features & Solutions

• Visual Kanban Workflow: Implemented a clear three-column layout (To Do, In Progress, Done) using HTML and CSS Flexbox, allowing users to instantly grasp task status and workflow progression.
• Integrated Time Allocation: Users can define their total available work time and assign specific time estimates (using predefined blocks like "Quick Burst" or custom durations) to each task via an intuitive modal interface. JavaScript calculates and updates the allocated versus remaining time in real-time.
• Dynamic Time Visualization: A dedicated progress bar and time display provide immediate visual feedback on how much of the available time has been allocated to tasks currently in 'To Do' or 'In Progress' states, helping users avoid over-commitment.
