In the throes of Covid lockdowns, when days melded into nights, my productivity levels were so low, they would make a sloth look like an overachiever. But then, amidst the haze of takeout containers and unwashed laundry, the concept of Task Bingo took its first breath.
Frankly, our initial version wasn't winning any beauty contests. It was a scrappy mess hastily pieced together. The graphics? Primitive. The UX? Don’t even ask. But it worked, and that's what mattered.
As quarantine faded, our lives began to resume some semblance of normality. Energized, productive, and even a tad athletic, we drifted away from our creation. The Task Bingo files were cast aside, lost in the chaos of other fleeting aspirations.
Fast forward a bit. Motivation? Plummeted. Enthusiasm? Non-existent. As the days blurred, a ghost of an idea whispered, "Remember Task Bingo?" It wasn't so much an epiphany, more like stubbing your toe and finding a lost toy. However, this time, the bar was set higher.
Building the new version wasn't a walk in the park. More like trudging through a swamp with a backpack full of bricks. Between the coding hiccups and the occasional bout of good ol' procrastination, the journey had its fair share of bumps. But hey, nothing that a bit of elbow grease couldn't fix.
Here we are, a tad later than anticipated - the beta version of taskbingo is now a reality. Still rough around the edges, maybe has a bug or twenty, but damn, isn't it a sight to behold? Plans for development are brewing, but for the moment, taskbingo is taking a short intermission. Stay tuned.
