Neural Tasks – 3D Task Management Reimagined
What It Is
Neural Tasks is an experimental task management application that reimagines traditional to-do lists through an innovative 3D spherical interface. Built in approximately 3 hours entirely with Claude Code and AI-assisted development, this prototype explores how spatial computing and three-dimensional interfaces can transform the way we organize, visualize, and interact with our daily tasks. The project demonstrates how AI development tools can rapidly prototype complex UI concepts that would traditionally require weeks of development time.
Features
As a rapid prototype developed entirely with Claude Code, the project showcases the potential of AI-assisted development for creating innovative user experiences. My role involved conceptualizing the 3D task management paradigm, guiding the AI through the technical implementation, ensuring design consistency, and validating the experimental interface concepts through iterative refinement.
Technical Highlights
3D Spherical Interface
Tasks are arranged in a dynamic 3D sphere that users can rotate and interact with, providing spatial context and visual hierarchy that traditional flat lists cannot offer. Each task exists as a point in 3D space, with proximity and positioning conveying priority and relationships.
Focus Mode
Innovative focus mode that isolates selected tasks in 3D space while maintaining peripheral awareness of other items, reducing cognitive load and improving concentration on current priorities.
Spatial Task Organization
Leverages three-dimensional space to organize tasks by categories, priorities, or custom dimensions, allowing users to see relationships and patterns that emerge naturally from spatial positioning.
Micro-interactions & Animations
Sophisticated animation system powered by Framer Motion creates fluid, responsive interactions that make the 3D interface feel natural and intuitive despite its unconventional approach.
Modern Tech Stack
Built with cutting-edge technologies: Next.js 15 with App Router, React 19 for enhanced performance, TypeScript for type safety, and Tailwind CSS v4 for utility-first styling.
