ChoreQuest
Household Chore Tracker - Mobile PWA
A household chore tracker where recurring chores are assigned points based on difficulty. Members complete chores, earn points, and compete on a leaderboard.
Process
- 1
Planning
Sketched out the core loop before writing code: assign chores, weight them by difficulty, and turn completion into points. The idea came from an actual need in my household.
- 2
Design
Kept the interface intentionally simple: a household join-by-code flow, configurable schedules (daily/weekly/monthly/seasonal), and flexible assignee modes (anyone, fixed person, or rotating).
- 3
Build
Built the app in Next.js and TypeScript with Firebase Auth and Cloud Firestore, including the leaderboard logic and PWA install support.
