“OG” Todo?
Loved exploring this app!✨
The overall simplicity and realtime sync feel amazing — especially the Pomodoro timer, it’s smooth and minimal.
Honestly, this feels like the kind of focus tool every dev needs.
Excited to dive into the repo and learn more about how the timer + todos sync with Convex in real-time.
Thanks @AmanX you just made my day.
