# Bevy Tasks - Project Plan

## Vision

A **local-first, cross-platform tasks application** inspired by Google Tasks. Built with Rust for high performance and true native support across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android.

**Core Principles**:
- **Local-First**: Your data, your folder, your control
- **Fast**: Sub-second startup, instant response
- **Cross-Platform**: Single codebase, all platforms
- **Flexible**: Multiple workspaces for different contexts (personal, shared, work, etc.)

**Data Format**: Tasks stored as markdown files with YAML frontmatter (Obsidian-compatible)
**Storage**: User selects folder location for each workspace (e.g., `~/Documents/Tasks`, `~/Dropbox/TeamTasks`)
**Sync**: Optional per-workspace WebDAV for cross-device synchronization
**Architecture**: Backend/frontend separation with CLI-first development

---

## Resources

- [Tauri Documentation](https://v2.tauri.app/)
- [Svelte Documentation](https://svelte.dev/)
- [Tailwind CSS Documentation](https://tailwindcss.com/)
- [WebDAV RFC 4918](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4918)
- [Google Tasks API](https://developers.google.com/tasks) (for importer reference)

---

## Phase 1: Core Library & CLI MVP

**Goal**: Build and validate the backend with a functional CLI

### Why CLI First?
- Test backend thoroughly before GUI complexity
- CLI useful for power users and automation
- Clean API boundaries
- Easy to write comprehensive tests

### Architecture

#### Cargo Workspace Structure
```
bevy-tasks/
├── Cargo.toml                    # Workspace definition
├── PLAN.md
├── README.md
├── apps/
│   └── tauri/                    # Tauri GUI (Svelte + Tailwind)
├── crates/
│   ├── bevy-tasks-core/          # Core library (backend)
│   └── bevy-tasks-cli/           # CLI frontend
└── docs/
```

#### Data Model

Tasks are stored as individual `.md` files with YAML frontmatter:

```markdown
---
id: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
status: backlog
due: 2025-11-15T14:00:00Z
created: 2025-10-26T10:00:00Z
updated: 2025-10-26T12:30:00Z
parent: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001
---

Task description and notes go here in **markdown** format.

- Can include lists
- Rich formatting
- Links, etc.
```

**TaskStatus values**:
- `backlog` - Task not yet completed
- `completed` - Task is done

**In-Memory Model**:
```rust
Task {
    id: Uuid,
    title: String,              // Derived from filename (without .md extension)
    description: String,              // Markdown content
    status: TaskStatus,         // Backlog or Completed
    due_date: Option<DateTime>,
    created_at: DateTime,
    updated_at: DateTime,
    parent_id: Option<Uuid>,    // For subtasks
}

enum TaskStatus {
    Backlog,     // Not yet completed
    Completed,   // Done
}

TaskList {
    id: Uuid,
    title: String,              // Derived from folder name
    tasks: Vec<Task>,           // Ordered by task_order, optionally grouped by due date
    created_at: DateTime,
    updated_at: DateTime,
    group_by_due_date: bool,    // If true, group by due date before applying task_order
}

AppConfig {
    workspaces: HashMap<String, WorkspaceConfig>,
    current_workspace: Option<String>,
}

WorkspaceConfig {
    path: PathBuf,
}
```

#### File System Structure

```
~/Documents/Tasks/           # User-selected folder
├── .metadata.json           # Global: list ordering, last opened list
├── My Tasks/                # Task list folder
│   ├── .listdata.json       # List metadata: task order, id, timestamps
│   ├── Buy groceries.md     # Title: "Buy groceries" (without .md)
│   └── Call dentist.md      # Title: "Call dentist" (without .md)
└── Work/                    # Another task list
    ├── .listdata.json
    ├── Review PRs.md        # Title: "Review PRs" (without .md)
    └── Team meeting prep.md # Title: "Team meeting prep" (without .md)
```

**Note**: Task titles are derived from filenames by removing the `.md` extension.

**`.metadata.json` (root level)**:
```json
{
  "version": 1,
  "list_order": ["list-uuid-1", "list-uuid-2"],
  "last_opened_list": "list-uuid-1"
}
```

**`.listdata.json` (per list)**:
```json
{
  "id": "list-uuid-1",
  "created_at": "2025-10-26T10:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2025-10-27T14:30:00Z",
  "group_by_due_date": false,
  "task_order": [
    "task-uuid-1",
    "task-uuid-2",
    "task-uuid-3"
  ]
}
```

**Task Ordering**:
- Tasks are always ordered according to the `task_order` array (manual ordering)
- When `group_by_due_date` is `true`, tasks are first grouped by their due date, then sorted within each group by `task_order`
- Tasks without due dates appear at the end when grouping is enabled

**App Configuration** (separate from task data, supports multiple workspaces):
- Windows: `%APPDATA%/bevy-tasks/config.json`
- Linux: `~/.config/bevy-tasks/config.json`
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/bevy-tasks/config.json`

```json
{
  "workspaces": {
    "personal": {
      "path": "/home/user/Documents/Tasks"
    },
    "shared": {
      "path": "/home/user/Dropbox/TeamTasks"
    }
  },
  "current_workspace": "personal"
}
```

#### Core Library API

```rust
pub struct TaskRepository {
    storage: Box<dyn Storage>,
}

impl TaskRepository {
    pub fn new(tasks_folder: PathBuf) -> Result<Self>;
    pub fn init(tasks_folder: PathBuf) -> Result<Self>;

    // Task operations
    pub fn create_task(&mut self, list_id: Uuid, task: Task) -> Result<Task>;
    pub fn get_task(&self, list_id: Uuid, task_id: Uuid) -> Result<Task>;
    pub fn update_task(&mut self, list_id: Uuid, task: Task) -> Result<()>;
    pub fn delete_task(&mut self, list_id: Uuid, task_id: Uuid) -> Result<()>;
    pub fn list_tasks(&self, list_id: Uuid) -> Result<Vec<Task>>;

    // List operations
    pub fn create_list(&mut self, name: String) -> Result<TaskList>;
    pub fn get_lists(&self) -> Result<Vec<TaskList>>;
    pub fn get_list(&self, list_id: Uuid) -> Result<TaskList>;
    pub fn delete_list(&mut self, id: Uuid) -> Result<()>;

    // Task ordering (modifies .listdata.json)
    pub fn reorder_task(&mut self, list_id: Uuid, task_id: Uuid, new_position: usize) -> Result<()>;
    pub fn get_task_order(&self, list_id: Uuid) -> Result<Vec<Uuid>>;

    // Grouping preference (modifies .listdata.json)
    pub fn set_group_by_due_date(&mut self, list_id: Uuid, enabled: bool) -> Result<()>;
    pub fn get_group_by_due_date(&self, list_id: Uuid) -> Result<bool>;
}

pub trait Storage {
    fn read_task(&self, list_id: Uuid, task_id: Uuid) -> Result<Task>;
    fn write_task(&mut self, list_id: Uuid, task: &Task) -> Result<()>;
    // ... more methods
}
```

```

---

## Phase 2: WebDAV Sync (Backend + CLI)

**Goal**: Enable cross-device synchronization via CLI

### Architecture

#### WebDAV Integration

Add WebDAV support to `bevy-tasks-core`:

```rust
// Update WorkspaceConfig to include WebDAV
WorkspaceConfig {
    path: PathBuf,
    webdav_url: Option<String>,
    last_sync: Option<DateTime>,
}

// AppConfig remains the same (workspaces + current_workspace)
AppConfig {
    workspaces: HashMap<String, WorkspaceConfig>,
    current_workspace: Option<String>,
}

// Add sync methods to TaskRepository
impl TaskRepository {
    pub fn sync_push(&mut self) -> Result<SyncResult>;
    pub fn sync_pull(&mut self) -> Result<SyncResult>;
    pub fn sync_status(&self) -> Result<SyncStatus>;
}
```

#### Sync Strategy
- **Trigger**: On app start (if connected), background timer (every 5 min), on modification (debounced)
- **Conflict Resolution**: Last-write-wins with timestamp
- **Offline Support**: Queue operations when offline, sync when online

#### Authentication

**Primary**: Platform Keychain via `keyring` crate
- Store WebDAV username + password in system keychain
- Key format: `com.bevy-tasks.webdav.{server-domain}`
- Works on: Windows (Credential Manager), macOS (Keychain), Linux (Secret Service), iOS/Android (Keystore)

**Fallback**: Encrypted local storage if keychain unavailable

### Dependencies

Add to `bevy-tasks-core/Cargo.toml`:
```toml
reqwest = { version = "0.12", features = ["json", "rustls-tls"] }
keyring = "3.0"
# TODO: Evaluate dav-client or implement custom WebDAV
```

### Features

- [ ] WebDAV client implementation in core library
- [ ] Credential storage (platform keychain)
- [ ] Bi-directional sync (push/pull)
- [ ] Conflict resolution (last-write-wins)
- [ ] Offline queue for pending operations
- [ ] CLI: `sync --setup` command
- [ ] CLI: `sync --push` command
- [ ] CLI: `sync --pull` command
- [ ] CLI: `sync --status` command
- [ ] Progress indicators for sync operations

- [ ] Tested with Nextcloud, ownCloud

---

## Phase 3: GUI MVP (Desktop)

**Goal**: Build graphical interface on desktop platforms

### Architecture

#### Frontend Framework: Tauri v2 + Svelte 5 + Tailwind CSS 4

**Decision**: Use Tauri v2 with Svelte and Tailwind for the GUI

**Why Tauri?**
- Native Rust backend — direct integration with `bevy-tasks-core`
- Svelte 5 for reactive, performant UI with minimal boilerplate
- Tailwind CSS 4 for rapid, consistent styling
- Small binary size (~5-10MB)
- Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS; mobile in Tauri v2)
- Web technologies for UI = rich ecosystem, easy to iterate
- Tauri commands expose core library directly to the frontend

#### GUI Structure

        ├── main.rs
        ├── commands.rs           # Tauri command handlers
        └── lib.rs
```

#### First Run Experience
- Show workspace setup dialog on first launch
- User creates first workspace with name and folder location
- User selects where to store tasks (e.g., `~/Documents/Tasks`)
- No default hidden directories
- Remember workspaces in app config

#### Workspace UI Elements
- Workspace selector dropdown in toolbar
- Quick-switch between workspaces
- Visual indicator of current workspace
- Settings panel to manage workspaces (add/remove/configure)

#### App Configuration (Phase 3+)

**Update AppConfig** to include UI preferences:
```rust
AppConfig {
    workspaces: HashMap<String, WorkspaceConfig>,  // From Phase 1
    current_workspace: Option<String>,
    theme: Theme,                    // NEW: light/dark mode
    window_size: Option<(u32, u32)>, // NEW: remember window size
    last_opened_list_per_workspace: HashMap<String, Uuid>,  // NEW: per-workspace last view
}

WorkspaceConfig {
    path: PathBuf,
    webdav_url: Option<String>,      // From Phase 2
    last_sync: Option<DateTime>,
}
```

### Performance Strategy

**Startup Sequence**:
1. Initialize Tauri window + load Svelte app (< 100ms)
2. Load config from disk via Tauri command (< 20ms)
3. Render UI (first paint < 150ms)
4. Load current task list in background
5. Update UI as tasks load
6. Start WebDAV sync in background (if configured)

**Target**: < 300ms cold start on desktop

**Optimizations**:
- Lazy data loading (load visible tasks first)
- Background operations for sync via async Tauri commands
- Efficient file I/O (stream large files)
- Svelte's compiled reactivity for minimal DOM updates

### Features

- [ ] Tauri v2 + Svelte 5 + Tailwind CSS 4 framework integration
- [ ] Workspace setup dialog on first launch
- [ ] Workspace selector in toolbar
- [ ] Quick-switch between workspaces
- [ ] Basic task list view
- [ ] Create new tasks
- [ ] Edit existing tasks
- [ ] Delete tasks
- [ ] Mark tasks complete/incomplete
- [ ] Settings screen (manage workspaces, WebDAV config)
- [ ] Sync status indicators (per workspace)
- [ ] Desktop support (Windows, Linux, macOS)

### Deliverables

- [ ] Functional desktop GUI app
- [ ] Sub-300ms startup time
- [ ] Clean, minimal UI
- [ ] Feature parity with CLI

### Build & Release

**Distribution**:
- Linux: AppImage, .deb, .tar.gz
- macOS: DMG
- Windows: MSI, portable .exe

**CI/CD**: GitHub Actions for automated builds

---

## Phase 4: Mobile Basic Support

**Goal**: Get app running on iOS and Android ASAP, validate architecture

### Why Early Mobile?
- De-risk mobile builds early in development
- Test cross-platform architecture sooner
- Tauri v2 has first-class mobile support — same codebase as desktop
- Get mobile-specific feedback early
- Can dogfood on mobile while building desktop features

### Architecture

#### Mobile Build Setup (Tauri v2 Mobile)

Tauri v2 supports iOS and Android natively. The same Svelte frontend and Rust backend are used, with platform-specific configuration.

**iOS**:
- Tauri generates Xcode project
- Bundle identifier: `com.bevytasks.app`
- Target: `aarch64-apple-ios`

**Android**:
- Tauri generates Gradle project
- Min SDK: 26 (Android 8.0)
- NDK handles Rust compilation

#### Mobile Adaptation

**Touch Support**:
- Tailwind responsive utilities for mobile-friendly layouts
- Larger touch targets (44pt minimum)
- Mobile-specific Svelte components where needed
- Test on real devices

**File System Access**:
- iOS: App sandbox documents directory + Tauri file dialog plugin
- Android: Scoped storage + Tauri file dialog plugin

#### First Run on Mobile
- Show folder picker on first launch
- Suggest locations: Documents, iCloud Drive (iOS), Google Drive (Android)
- User selects folder, path stored in preferences

### Features

- [ ] Tauri v2 iOS build pipeline setup
- [ ] Tauri v2 Android build pipeline setup
- [ ] Mobile-responsive Svelte/Tailwind layout
- [ ] File system access on iOS
- [ ] File system access on Android
- [ ] Folder picker for mobile
- [ ] Basic task CRUD on mobile
- [ ] Test on real devices

### Deliverables

- [ ] App launches on iOS
- [ ] App launches on Android
- [ ] Can create and view tasks on mobile
- [ ] Validates cross-platform architecture
- [ ] Foundation for future mobile polish

### Distribution

- iOS: .ipa for TestFlight (early access)
- Android: .apk (direct install / sideloading)

**Note**: This phase prioritizes getting mobile working, even with a simple UI. Polish comes in Phase 6.

---

## Phase 5: GUI Advanced Features (Desktop + Mobile)

**Goal**: Feature parity with Google Tasks across all platforms

### Features

#### Desktop & Mobile
