Usage

Task Notifications

The system sends email notifications for tasks that are due within the next 7 days. Notifications are handled using Flask-APScheduler.

Adding a Task

Navigate to /tasks to create or manage tasks. Each task includes a title, description, and due date.

Viewing Tasks

Tasks can be viewed in a calendar format. Filters are available to sort tasks by date, voley or priority.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Working Outside Application Context: Ensure the correct usage of app.app_context() when accessing Flask-specific functionality.

2. Circular Import: Avoid importing app in modules where app is already initializing.

3. Scheduler Already Running: Check for duplicate scheduler.start() calls and use scheduler.running to verify the scheduler state.
