BigFuture is an open-source personal productivity platform that unifies tasks from multiple sources (Google Tasks, Asana, Trello) into a single, streamlined interface. It is written in TypeScript using Deno as the backend runtime and React/Vite as the frontend, with PostgreSQL as the database. The goal is to manage and track tasks across platforms, stay productive, and eventually contribute back to the community.
The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of BigFuture includes:
-
Task Importers
Import tasks from:- Google Tasks (by list)
- Asana (by project and section/group)
- Trello (by workspace, board, and card)
-
Unified Task Model
Store tasks in a unified structure that includes:- Title, description
- Source platform (Google, Asana, Trello)
- Task metadata (list, project, board, etc.)
- Due date, recurrence
- Comments and checklists
-
Task Viewer
- Display imported tasks in a unified UI
- Allow filtering by source, status, and metadata
- Support basic search
-
Status Update
- Mark tasks as completed in BigFuture
- Automatically update the status in the original platform via API (Google Tasks, Asana, Trello)
- Frontend: React, Vite, Tailwind, Zustand, NextUI
- Backend: Deno (with Oak), PostgreSQL, Redis (for background jobs)
- ORM: DenoDB or Obsidian
- Monorepo Management: Turborepo
- Deployment: DigitalOcean + Kamal (ex-MRSK)
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions (planned)
