Totes
Totes was a proof-of-concept exploration into the relationship between notes and todos.
It's common for todos to naturally emerge while taking notes in meetings, during desktop research, or on the fly. Unfortunately, while notes apps all but universally support checklists, they tend to do a poor job affording inline todos as distinct entities that can surface outside their originating documents. I've always wanted to be able to take notes as needed, organically creating inline todos along the way, and then later consult a todo list automatically populated with those and other related todos.
So I scratched that itch by designing and building a fully functional web app exploring how such an app might work.
The Svelte frontend used the TipTap rich text editor with custom extensions for authoring infinitely nestable inline todos and notes. The backend was powered by Appwrite.
