The Story

Denna's idea came from my own needs. I'm not punctual at all, so I needed a tool to make me care more about my time. So with the help of the whole team in MahStudio, we came across with a project named Plannel which then became Denna.

Denna is a name of a mountain in Iran. The idea of creating Denna, poped up to my mind, when I couldn't spend enough time to study, and failed to answer some of the questions on my test. The answer of one those missed questions them was "Denna".

Then with the help of the team and the community, we developed and released a lovely tool named Denna. The main goal of Denna is to help people to care more about their time. Because time flies!

Ease of access and productivity, are Denna's core values.

The theory

We think that all leading todo lists and task managers of the market suck too much! So we decided to make one with the help of community. We think only people can say what they want not the big companies!

What we offer in Denna

• Productive task management
• Offline-first sync
• Cortana interaction
• Action center integration
• Productivity analysis
• Simple but effective interface
• Fast support

Denna in press

Denna got a really good attention from users and some of the news websites. You can read some of Denna's reviews down below:

• Windows Central
• On MSFT
• All about windows phone
• MS Power User
• The win central
• Windows phone arena
• Softpedia

And so on ...

Design

This project is designed by Sr. architect and designer Aref M. Ahmadi and Sr. designer Mohammad R. Alidoost.

Also you can see the whole design files HERE

Contributing

Denna looks for new maintainers and contributors. The key feature that we need for next update is sync and the features that are into the design. As Denna is an open source project, all kind of contributions are welcome.

Roadmap

First let me explain what we are our plans for Denna:

• Make it as simple but productive. High UX values.
• Supporting UWP platform.
• Supporting Android.
• Supporting iOS.
• Supporting office extentions.
• Supporting web client.
• Adding collaborative task management.
• Keep learning from users and let them decide what features they want in Denna.

We currently need Android, Web and iOS developers to sharpen our team. Ideally a React/React native developer will help us to build everything we need.

Build Prerequisites

1. Windows 10
2. Visual Studio 2017 (latest build) with universal windows development features installed.
3. GIT for Windows (install from here)
4. Knowledge about C#, Xaml, Realm, MVVM, design patterns and Windows development

Build instructions

We use realm as our database and sync engine, so see Realm.net documentation first.

1. Clone the repo
2. Open Denna Solution
3. Open Realm cloud website and register for a realm instance for free. If you don't want sync, skip this step and open an issue and ask us for the solution.
4. Back into solution, there is a missing Constants.cs file. Replace it with following code. Remember that you should paste your realm instance URL in ServerUri.
5. Register for an app in Microsoft App Center and paste your app secret code in AppCenterSecret. If you don't want analytics you can skip this and write a random string there.

using System;
namespace Core
{
    public static class Constants
    {
        public static readonly Uri ServerUri = new Uri("My realm server URL");
        public static readonly string AppCenterSecret = "Your App Center secret" ;
    }
}

6. Hit F5 and run the project
