Show HN: Llama – a fun, timed, task manager

10 months ago, I gave myself the challenge of learning to code, then to launch a product from scratch. Today I'm celebrating the launch of Llama v1.0!

Llama is a productivity tool that helps you power through lists, not just make them. It does this by letting you set a 'timer' for every task. Your goal is to finish before the time runs out.

The name comes from one of my favorite travel experiences to Peru where I visited a small town to learn about their culture. While I was there, Llamas were roaming around their village - those Llama's looked soo relaxed and were leading their best life

This is my attempt at leading a 'Llama life'. I built Llama because I found a huge correlation between my Mental Health and my Productivity levels throughout a given day. For me, if I don't feel like I'm making progress it significantly affects my mood. And during these Covid times and WFH, being productive has been all the more challenging.

It's been a journey - from knowing no code to learning html, css, javascript -> React, flexbox, styled components, bootstrap, webpack, git, node.js/express, Stripe integration for payments, Firebase for user authentication and database . But am excited to be finally releasing v1.0 of Llama.

Would love to hear your thoughts and any feedback.

Thanks!
