Users can unlock achievements such as:

• First Task Completed
• Complete 10 Tasks
• Complete 50 Tasks
• 7-Day Productivity Streak
• 30-Day Productivity Streak
• Complete 5 Focus Sessions
• Complete 25 Focus Sessions
• Finish All Tasks in a Day

Badge Display

• Total focus sessions completed

Persistence

Store achievement data using localStorage so progress is retained between sessions.

Benefits

• Improves user engagement.
• Encourages consistent productivity habits.
• Adds a fun and interactive element to the application.
• Provides users with a sense of accomplishment.

Suggested Tech Stack

• HTML/CSS/JavaScript (current project stack)

Hi @JIYAJAIN30 👋

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26.

I reviewed the requirements and believe this feature can be implemented as a scalable achievement system rather than a collection of hardcoded badges. As a Full-Stack Developer, my goal would be to create a reusable architecture that makes it easy to add future achievements without major code changes.

Proposed Implementation Plan

🏆 Achievement Engine

I will create a centralized achievement management system that automatically evaluates user actions and unlocks achievements when predefined conditions are met.

Example achievement categories:

• First Task Completed
• Complete 10 Tasks
• Complete 50 Tasks
• 7-Day Productivity Streak
• 30-Day Productivity Streak
• Complete 5 Focus Sessions
• Complete 25 Focus Sessions
• Finish All Tasks in a Day

The system will be configuration-driven so that new achievements can be added by updating a single achievement definition file.

📊 Progress Tracking Layer

Track and maintain productivity metrics such as:

• Total Tasks Completed
• Current Productivity Streak
• Longest Productivity Streak
• Total Focus Sessions Completed
• Daily Completion Statistics

Achievement progress will update automatically whenever user activity changes.

---

🎖️ Achievement Dashboard

Create a dedicated Achievements section featuring:

• Unlocked badges
• Locked achievements
• Achievement descriptions
• Progress indicators
• Completion percentage
• Achievement categories

This will allow users to clearly see both completed and upcoming milestones.

---

🔔 Achievement Unlock Experience

To improve engagement, I plan to add:

• Achievement unlock notifications/toasts
• Visual feedback when a badge is earned
• Smooth animations for newly unlocked achievements

This makes the reward system feel more interactive and motivating.

---

💾 Data Persistence

Use localStorage to persist:

• Achievement progress
• Unlocked badges
• Productivity statistics
• Streak information

Users will retain their progress after refreshes and browser restarts.

---

📱 Responsive & Accessible UI

I will ensure:

• Mobile-friendly layouts
• Consistent badge display across devices
• Accessible color contrast
• Keyboard-friendly navigation where applicable

---

⚡ Performance Considerations

• Efficient achievement evaluation logic
• Avoid unnecessary recalculations
• Real-time updates without affecting application responsiveness

---

✅ Testing & Validation

Before opening the PR, I will verify:

• Achievement unlocking conditions
• Progress calculation accuracy
• Persistence after refresh
• Streak tracking logic
• Responsive behavior on different screen sizes
• Edge cases such as task deletion and streak resets

Estimated Timeline

• Achievement system architecture: 3–4 hours
• Progress tracking implementation: 2–3 hours
• Achievement dashboard UI: 4–5 hours
• Persistence & notifications: 2–3 hours
• Testing, responsiveness, and refinements: 2–3 hours

Expected completion: Within 2 days of assignment.

I would be excited to contribute this feature and ensure it is scalable, maintainable, and engaging for users.

Could you please assign this issue to me?

Thank you!
