A microproductivity system integrated with Visual Studio Code (VSCode) that automatically generates mobile-friendly, short programming-related tasks, or micro-tasks, to support programmers’ needs and desires for task continuation. When a user decides to go mobile, Mercury uses the current state of their files to generate microtasks that can be routed to the user to make meaningful progress in their work while they are away from their workstation. Users access these microtasks from their mobile device using the Mercury mobile app and can complete their auto-generated microtasks at their own pace and leisure.
