TaskForge

A simple, community-maintained open-source task tracker. Add tasks, check them off, never lose them — everything is stored in your browser.

Status: Active development. We accept bounties via CodeBounty on tagged issues.

Features

• Single-page, zero-build web app
• Tasks persist in localStorage by default, with optional GitHub sign-in sync
• GitHub OAuth uses PKCE in the browser and an HTTP-only session cookie
• Keyboard-friendly (more shortcuts coming, see #5)
• Light & dark themes (dark coming, see #1)
• MIT licensed

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/CodeBountyOrg/taskforge-demo.git
cd taskforge-demo
npm start
open http://localhost:8000

GitHub sign-in is enabled when GITHUB_CLIENT_ID is set. If your OAuth app requires it, set GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET on the server too; the secret is only used by the backend token exchange endpoint.

Contributing

We welcome contributions! See CONTRIBUTING.md — TL;DR:

1. Pick an open issue with the 💰 Bounty Available label.
2. Apply on the bounty's CodeBounty page (linked in the issue).
3. Once accepted, fork → branch → PR. Reference the issue number in the PR body (Closes #N).
4. After merge, your payout is released via Stripe.

Maintainers approve bounties before they open and review all PRs before merge.

Tech

• HTML5, CSS3 (custom properties + flexbox)
• Vanilla JavaScript (ES2020+); no framework, no build step
• Built-in Node.js server for static assets, GitHub OAuth, sessions, and task sync
• localStorage fallback for unsigned users and offline edits
• ESLint + Prettier for code style
