Could you build this?
Partial Basic todo apps are trivial, but building a highly polished cross-platform client (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android) with recurring re-firing OS-level alarms, task dependency resolution graphs, and offline sync across devices is notoriously complex.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a cross-platform client framework like Flutter, React Native, or Tauri/Rust with a local SQLite database and CRDT-based sync (e.g., ElectricSQL, Replicache). The hard parts are OS-level persistent notification scheduling (especially handling strict background throttling on modern iOS and Android) and building a robust directed acyclic graph (DAG) dependency solver offline.
