Built a deterministic daily task and rewards system centered around task priority and same-day completion. Tasks are grouped into daily priority levels and rendered through a custom calendar interface. Completing all tasks for a given level on the day they are due earns a reward for that level. Rewards follow a full lifecycle (earned, redeemed, completed) and are tracked immutably for historical reference. The system prevents retroactive reward creation, avoids cross-level reward leakage, and enforces strict same-day eligibility rules. Recurring goals generate daily tasks automatically, and rewards are redeemed manually without overwriting prior state.
Project walkthrough for the Daily Task & Rewards System.
RewardsController dropped from 217 lines to 86.
SMART goal tracking using JSON fields.
The daily task system evolved into a deterministic, level based model.
Refactored Tasks and Rewards controllers to service-driven flows, moving business logic out of controllers for consistency and maintainability.
