Project Machine

2025 – 2025

Placeholder text — full write-up coming soon.

Project Machine was a project management web app aimed at recording how long tasks take and storing those durations as lessons learned for future projects. The core idea was to close the feedback loop that most project teams never bother with: knowing, from real historical data, how long things actually take rather than relying on gut-feel estimates.

The app was built with Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend, Supabase as the backend database and auth layer, and OpenAI to surface intelligent suggestions when planning new projects based on lessons stored from previous ones. Users could create projects, break them into tasks, log time against each task, and then have the AI summarise patterns and flag recurring bottlenecks across their project history.

More detail on the build process, product decisions, and lessons learned will be added here once the write-up is complete.
