Task Terminal Interactive App Prototype
Task Terminal: App Design & UX Showcase
A minimalist project and task management app recently updated to improved UX/UI.
Problem Statement:
Small Teams and Solopreneurs need a workflow app that is fast, simple, and dashboard-like without the heft and complexity of features that they will never use because they most need to quickly understand the status and priority of their projects and tasks.
Interactive Task Terminal Prototype
Interactive App Prototype. This project and task management app design is based on an end-to-end UX process and recently updated for improved UI/UX.
MVP flows
• Returning user login
• Add a project
• Add a task to a project and independently

Future Features
Testing revealed the need to be able to group tasks in some way without having to create a folder. As a result, the next flow will be focused on creating a lean experimental prototype using a tagging solution. The ability to tag tasks and sort may be enough to satisfy user needs.
Taskly's New Look!
Task Terminal V2. (Formerly Taskly)
Here is the second version of Taskly that was just a UI update but held the same general layouts and patterns. This version was created four years after the original Taskly. I created a user survey and got some feedback from a new group of project managers, designers, and developers to update this app's look and feel.
Taskly 2020 UI Update with Inspiration Source
Taskly UI Update 2020
I gave Taskly a UI update for 2020 based on a new User Survey.
Updates Include
- Better accessibility updates for forms
- Easier social login options
- Better navigation

I took inspiration for my new UI approach from the cover of this super cool Dutch book I found featured on Muz.li.
