Twidge

A productivity app which is an extension to your mind

Twidge is a cross platform productivity app, powered by rust, tauri, prisma-client-rust

Twidge works entirely offline, the various features provided by twidge are listed below

Motivation

Due to my ever-increasing school work, I seldom had time to code. One day, I tried to see why I was getting so little time, and that is when I realized that a lot of my time was spent deciding what I should do next. The answer was obvious I needed a calendar app, I tried almost all of the calendar apps and realized that I was spending more than 30 minutes filling in my calendar, it was also clear that I needed something more than a calendar, something wherein I can throw all the links when I browse the web so that I can look at them later on, therefore twidge was born.

Features

Completed:

• Configuration - The structure for the source code of Twidge, built entirely on react, tauri and rust. The structure was inspired by spacedrive

In progress:

• Spaces - Spaces help you divide tasks based on a specific tag (say work, personal, junk etc)
• Infinite Scroll View: Twidge aims to offer an infinite scroll view where you can write everything down
• Todo List: Map all your tasks in a single list, these tasks can be linked with calendars and embeds.
• Calendar: You can map tasks to calendars so that you know what tasks have to be completed when.
• Embeds: Embed Youtube vides, Google searches, Twitter posts, etc. So that you never loose that resource which you found 2 months earlier.
• Global Keymaps: Ctrl+Shift+K and you have your powerful menu ⚡, create tasks, embeds, calendar events etc.
• Notification Handler - So that you are reminded 5-15 minutes before a new task starts.

Post MVP:

• Mobile app (IOS/Android)
• Sync between devices.
• Save all the tasks on the cloud
• Collaboration of tasks between different people

Architecture

We follow an architecture similar to that of spacedrive.

• Prisma, Rust, rspc, React, Typescript, Tauri, Stitches and Radix
• Tauri uses OS webviews, this helps remove the overhead of V8 (like in electron), and brings cpu and ram-usage to a minimum.
• We can use prisma on the front-end thanks to brendan who is the creator of prisma-client-rust
