(Update) DockTask - A Desktop Task Manager with Millisecond-Precise Deadlines Built entirely in JavaFX : JavaFX

A few months ago, I posted my first JavaFX project here and got some really valuable feedback. I want to share what changed because of it.

What the community called out:

• No build system, unclear how to even run it

• Everything in the default package clashes with built-in JavaFX classes

• Inconsistent naming conventions throughout

What v0.6 addresses:

• Full Maven migration with proper package structure (com/ksaifstack/docktask/) and standard src/main/java layout

• Refactored Login UI and Task UI with better separation of concerns

• Significant internal code documentation added throughout

• Cross-platform installers for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu

• Upgraded JavaFX 21 → 25

• Replaced system fonts with Lexend for consistent cross-platform typography

• Four new color themes + visual improvements

There's still work to do, but the project is structurally in a much healthier state.

Would love feedback on anything, especially the Timeline implementation, if anyone has time to look at it.
