Fujit is an app for handling timeboxes inspired in Pomodoro technique. The main reason of this project is learning how to create a simple PWA app in Vue that could be really useful for me.
I like minimalist apps, and in the past I tried some Pomodoro apps. However, almost all of them were battery consuming. I did not know which processes were running behind the scenes, and the ads stuff is annoying when you only want to measure your performance. Then, a simple and minimalist app that could help me in my daily work is a good choice for a new project half learning, half creating.
My idea was creating a quick MVP that I could use, and here is the result. The tool is not perfect, but it is good enough for letting me save time and organize my tasks better.
You can use and see fujit on https://fujit.herokuapp.com.
This project is based on Vue.js and yarn. in case that you want to deploy by yourself you can clone, set up and deploy by folling these steps:
- Clone the repo.
- Run
yarn installfor seting up the project. - Run
yarn servefor development compilation. - Run
yarn buildfor production compilation.
As I said above, the objective of fujit is mainly learning. Having a useful tool that I can use is another objective. The result is this tool, fully functional, I use it everyday, which let me learn a little about PWAs and the workflow of building and deploying tools.
As a project with learning purposes in mind, I used Vue.js 2 for the PWA tool with Vuex as a persistence system. Also, I used Travis CI for CI/CD. Nothing else.
