Show HN: TaskVenture–Break Tasks Down into RPG-Like Quests for ADHD Programmers

2 points by its_down_again a year ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

TaskVenture turns everyday tasks into bite-sized, gamified quests. As someone who gets easily distracted, I always found “just break tasks into smaller chunks” easier said than done—if I could do that, I’d probably have finished the task already. Without high pressure, tasks linger, but too much pressure burns you out. During marathon training, having pre-planned workouts with set distances, times, and heart rate targets helped me beat analysis paralysis. My watch kept track so I just showed up and kept running. I wanted the same simple guide for desk work.

- Breaks tasks into clear, actionable RPG-style quests with XP rewards

- Uses game mechanics like levels, XP, and achievements to keep you motivated

- Offers a distraction-free UI with dark mode

- Sorts tasks by complexity (Intern to Unicorn Status)
