Task-Master

Task-Master is a desktop application built with Python and Tkinter GUI toolkit. It allows users to manage their tasks efficiently by providing features like adding tasks with deadlines, marking tasks as complete, to do, or in progress, deleting tasks, and prioritizing important tasks.

Features

• User Authentication: The application requires users to log in with a username, which is stored in a configuration file.
• Task Management: Users can add tasks by specifying the task name, deadline date and time, and status (To Do, In Progress, or Complete).
• Task Treeview: All tasks are displayed in a treeview with columns for Task, Deadline, and Status.
• Task Status Manipulation: Users can mark tasks as complete, in progress, or to-do using dedicated buttons.
• Task Deletion: Users can delete selected tasks from the treeview.
• Task Prioritisation: Task prioritisation is now stored in the cloud database, ensuring it saves over sessions and devices.
• Edit Existing Tasks: Added support for editing existing tasks intuitively.
• Input Validation: Input validation has been implemented to improve data integrity.
• Error Handling: Implemented error handling for database operations to provide a smoother user experience.
• Improved User Interface: Improving the user interface and user experience with features such as resizable window and better layout.
• Code Refactoring: Refactored the code to follow best practices, including separating concerns and using functions/methods for better maintainability.
