Focalpoints is a personal project I started near the end of 2020 after giving up on an endless search for a task manager that I enjoyed using. Instead of trying another new app and ending up right back where I started, I decided to build one that could fit into the way I work and solve the problems I had with other task managers.

I started working on Focalpoints as a side project and used the opportunity to explore new software technologies and expand my knowledge in design and development spaces.

By the time I decided to build Focalpoints, I had tried what felt like an endless amount of task managers. Before I started designing, I wanted to reflect on my experience with other apps and research other solutions. I settled on the key problems for Focalpoints to solve to be a successful product.
