2. UI/UX Enhancements: Improve the user interface and experience by redesigning key elements to make the platform more intuitive and visually appealing, ultimately enhancing user engagement and satisfaction.

3. All basic and advanced features that a task manager or an event manager should have.

I am committed to working closely with you and the team to ensure that these features are implemented effectively and align with the project's objectives. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if there are additional features you would like to prioritize.

Looking forward to your feedback.

[kaushiksai711]

Hello Mentor @a2i-dpg,
I take this moment to thank you for this opportunity.
I would love to play a part in developing a Task Manager with various interfaces .I have experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, node.js, react.js, and am currently working on mongo db. I believe my idea can impact user experience of the platform and make it very user friendly.

(my proposal link is at end ,please do read the whole message if possible)

Basic Idea : Turn Task manager into a Game of Stages/Levels (came to this conclusion after trying out present task managers as they are complex and not appealing even though they have all functionalities)

Note:I would like your inputs on my idea below:

I would like to emphasize my thoughts on UI/UX enhancements and creating a fully functional chatbot, regression analysis for predictions ,leader board for competitive spirit:

1.UI UX enhancements: I want to create various themes using larvel, such as space theme ,guild hall theme ,fantasy world theme ,each theme targets different audience guild hall for organization , fantasy world for a team , and space for individual .They can be used interchange-ably. Each theme will function similar to blender(realistic 3d interface)
I have explained in detail about the themes in my proposal

2.Chatbot: This might feel additional but my intention is to reduce the strain on users by automating most of process such as creating tasks, submitting tasks ,etc using chatbot and it will be useful for introducing task manager interface tools to users and addressing any queries.

3.Regression analysis :To predict traffic of users so that system can inform whether it needs to scale to ensure there is no overload. Can use Google analytics.

Leader Board:
I am also planning to make a leader board for teams/organisation and rank users based on parameters like efficiency, amount of tasks completed ,time and some other factors , which can improve competitiveness and interest in website.

These are some of ideas i stated for UI/UX.

I am eager to learn other aspects of projects such as ensuring security and data privacy.
I would give my best if i was selected as one of the contributor for this project.

(I have kept the minimum amount of time a team needs to finish the project ,I am flexible to increase my work time if required )

Please do view my proposal for more details
