Midori
Midori is a peaceful daily planner built with Next.js, Firebase, and Google Gemini AI. It treats your tasks like seeds in a garden: you plant ideas, focus with timers, and watch your daily progress bloom.
Midori Case Study & Architecture
The Midori Challenge
Many work apps feel loud and stressful. People jump between messy tools and lists. They never feel calm during deep work.
Engineering Approach for Midori
I built Midori around a digital garden theme. Completing focus intervals waters your garden. A Zen timer plays soothing nature sounds like gentle rain, forest birds, or fireplace crackles. Google Gemini provides thoughtful suggestions to help you plan your week without burnout.
Core Highlights & Architecture
Built a visual task board with real-time cloud sync using Google Firestore.
Added a Zen focus timer with four ambient sound tracks to block out office noise.
Integrated Google Gemini to give clear tips based on your daily work habits.
