Add progress bar/task completed counter

[alexandermendes]

Part of the drive to improve feedback.

Small text counter on the task page, showing total count of all tasks? For non-logged in users, display something like 'Sign up or login in to start saving your progress'.

Number of tasks only, no rank, leaderboard, etc!

So this came up again at the Nottingham workshops - various comments about how it seems like we're in and endless loop of tasks - I think some indication of progress while completing tasks is important.

Maybe we can revisit this as a countdown: n tasks remaining

Might encourage people to keep going to see what happens when they hit zero (they get some confetti).

@LibCrowds/playbills do we need to chat about this and agree a solution?

[alexandermendes]

I think either keep it very simple - something simple like n tasks remaining towards the bottom (or top) of the sidebar, or we drop it?

[mialondon]

I think a simple countdown, n tasks remaining in this volume (set, or something equally generic?) could work well.

Maybe under the 'Save and continue' button?

[alexandermendes]

Sounds good to me.

The easiest way to implement this would be with messages like:
1 task remaining
2 tasks remaining
...
99+ tasks remaining

We can make a single API call to get up to 100 new tasks for the user and then use that count. Hopefully that will do the job.

@alexandermendes sure!
