Usability
  1. Blog post your field notes.
  2. Use Figma or Canva or some other mockup tool to mockup a better to-do list tool, where "better" means what you think is better.
    Or
    Try to get ChatGPT or make a better to-do tool. My original prompt was: "using JavaScript, CSS, and html write a To-Do script that lets a user add, mark as complete, delete, and sort items to a list and save that list locally." In retrospect, I think specifying drag and drop for the sorting mechanism would have been a good idea. The difficulty here will be in describing what you want clearly enough to get ChatGPT to make it for us. You may need to try again and perhaps again. If you get something cool enough, you might use it as the object for analysis for your final project.
  3. Upload your mockup to your blog or provide a link to your ChatGPT prototype.
    Don't have a website to run your To-Do script on? Get one.
