The logic behind Due Helper was to keep track of tasks that have due dates and fall under different categories.
Thus, tasks can only be created when a category is selected, and a due date is filled.
Each Task will contain the following information:
- a check box that represents completeness
- a tag that shows its category name
- the description of this task
- a list of subtasks (if any) that contains their completion status and description
- (if set) a tag of available date (hover to see time difference from current moment)
- a tag of due date (hover to see time difference from current moment)
The app will help you sort out all the tasks in the following manner:
- available tasks with the closer due date will be towards the top of the list
- unavailable tasks will be in the middle
- completed tasks will be at the bottom
