Reddit made me do it: Gamificiation of an app

In this video, I take on a challenge inspired by a Reddit post to build a task tracker app and gamify it using PowerApps. With no prior preparation, I walk you through the entire process of creating the app from scratch. We’ll explore how to set up a simple task list, allow users to log their completed tasks, and assign points to those tasks, turning the experience into a fun, competitive game. You’ll see how I implement key features like task logging, dynamic point updates, and even a scoreboard to track user progress. I’ll also demonstrate how to leverage PowerApps’ capabilities to capture and visualize data efficiently. Whether you’re new to PowerApps or looking to add some gamification to your apps, this video will give you practical insights and tips to apply in your projects. If you’re interested in trying out this app yourself, I’ve made it available for download through my training site.
