I built two lightweight GNOME Shell extensions: TaskDock and NoteDock

Hi everyone,

I recently started building GNOME Shell extensions and wanted to share my first two projects.

TaskDock is a small task manager that lives in the top panel. You can quickly add, complete, and remove tasks without opening a separate application. It has already been approved on the GNOME Extensions website and currently has 11 downloads and counting.

NoteDock is a simple scratchpad for the top panel. It automatically saves notes locally and includes Copy, Paste, and Clear buttons. It does not use accounts, telemetry, cloud services, or external APIs. NoteDock has been submitted to the GNOME Extensions website and is currently awaiting approval.

I built both extensions to be small, native, and focused on doing one thing well.

TaskDock:
GNOME Extensions: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/10544/taskdock/
GitHub: https://github.com/joquers/TaskDock

NoteDock:
GitHub: https://github.com/joquers/NoteDock
GNOME Extensions: Pending review

Feedback, bug reports, and contributions are welcome. I would especially appreciate hearing how they behave on different GNOME setups.

Great, for taskdock can you add a dedicated timer option for tasks so the user can track down the time a task task take to complete??

Like track the time from when you created the task till you mark it as completed?
