🛠️ Dev Task Manager — AI-Powered Task Administrator

🚀 Overview

Dev Task Manager is a robust and intelligent task administrator designed for developers who need a local, fast tool integrated with Artificial Intelligence. It combines the power of .NET 9 on the backend with the reactivity and performance of React 19 on the frontend.

Unlike traditional tools, it focuses on Agentic Insights, helping users prioritize subtasks and suggesting next steps for card execution.

🎯 Value Proposition

Privacy First: Support for local models via Ollama or external APIs (OpenAI/Gemini) — "Bring your own key".
Agentic AI: Generation and enrichment of subtasks, automatic descriptions, and execution suggestions.
Native Integration: Direct Windows notifications to maintain focus.
Daily Insights: Intelligent summary of what to prioritize and how to act throughout the day.
Modern Architecture: .NET 9 WebAPI (C#) and React 19 with Vite.
