# 'My Tasks' App
## Description
This is a simple React Native task management app built using Expo. Users can:
- Add tasks
- Mark tasks as completed or incomplete
- Update tasks
- Receive a notification reminder every 1 minute (until the task is marked completed)
- Delete tasks
The app uses the Expo Notifications API to remind users about incomplete tasks.

## Setup and Running the App
**Clone the Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tanmayvaij/my-tasks
cd my-tasks
````
**Install Dependencies:**
```bash
yarn
```
**Start the Development Server:**
```bash
yarn start
```
**Run on Your Device:**
* Download the **Expo Go** app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
* Scan the QR code shown in your terminal or on your browser window after running `yarn start`.

## Design Choices and Challenges
* **Manual Notification Rescheduling:**
Expo’s repeating notifications with seconds-based triggers are inconsistent across iOS and Android. To overcome this, I opted to **manually reschedule notifications** each time a task is toggled incomplete, ensuring consistent reminders every 1 minute regardless of platform.
* **State Management:**
Instead of using a complex state management library, I leveraged **React Context API** with `useState` to manage tasks globally, keeping the app lightweight and easy to maintain.
* **UX Considerations:**
I added **strike-through styling** to completed tasks and included a **delete button** for easy task management.
