• Enabling flexible sorting and filtering options for tasks based on various criteria, allowing users to prioritize and manage their tasks effectively.

Skills Gained

In the process of developing Compleat, I gained a variety of valuable skills in iOS development. These skills extend beyond just building a todo list app and are essential for any iOS developer. In this section, I'll outline the skills I gained, including user interface design, data persistence, notifications and reminders, handling user input, and app navigation. Each of these skills is crucial for creating user-friendly and effective apps, and I gained practical experience applying them throughout the development of Compleat.

• User Interface Design: Crafting an interface that is both visually appealing and easy to use, enabling users to interact with their tasks and lists seamlessly.

• Data Persistence: Implementing various techniques to store task data on the device, such as Core Data, plist files, and other storage technologies, to ensure data is available across multiple app sessions.

• Notifications and Reminders: Setting up local notifications and reminders, helping users stay on track with upcoming tasks and deadlines.

• Handling User Input: Capturing user input accurately and reliably, as well as handling errors and edge cases that may occur.

• App Navigation: Creating a clear and user-friendly navigation structure, allowing users to move smoothly between task lists and individual tasks.

These skills are highly transferable and valuable for any iOS developer. Whether working on a todo list app or any other type of project, these skills can help create a polished and user-friendly experience for the end-user.
