# ThoughtSync

Self-hosted personal thought-capture web app in the **FabledSword** family — a
Google-Keep-style **masonry post-it board** for capturing disparate thoughts in
under a second, designed to grow into a lightweight second brain (labels, search,
`[[wiki-links]]`, graph).

- **Stack:** Quart (async Python) + Vue 3 + PostgreSQL, Docker, Fabled-Git CI.
- **Auth:** native email + password (signed-cookie sessions). Multi-user with the
  family owner + direct-share + group-share ACL.
- **Web-first.** An Android companion is a later, conditional milestone.

## Layout

```
src/thoughtsync/     Quart app (app factory, auth, models, ACL, config, db)
alembic/             async migrations (schema built via `alembic upgrade head`)
tests/               DB-free unit tests (pytest)
frontend/            Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind SPA
Dockerfile           2-stage build (Vue -> python:3.12-slim runtime)
docker-compose.yml   local app + Postgres stack
```

## Development

Backend (needs a Postgres reachable at `THOUGHTSYNC_DATABASE_URL`):

```sh
pip install -e ".[dev]"
alembic upgrade head
hypercorn 'thoughtsync.app:create_app()' --bind 0.0.0.0:5000
```

Frontend (proxies `/api` to `:5000`):

```sh
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:5173
```

Or run it in Docker. **Hot-reload dev stack** (edit code, changes reload live) —
Postgres + backend + Vite dev server, app at http://localhost:5173:

```sh
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
```

Or the **full production image** (SPA baked in) at http://localhost:5000:

```sh
docker compose up --build
```

## Milestones

- **M0 — Foundation & Identity** ✅: Quart+Vue+Postgres skeleton, native auth,
  sharing-ACL spine, Fabled-Git CI.
- **M1 — Capture Core** ✅: note model + masonry board (quick-add, colors, pin,
  edit-in-place, archive, trash+restore).
- **M1.5 — Roles & DB-backed Settings** ✅: first user is admin, admin Settings UI,
  `DATABASE_URL` is the only required env.
- M2 — Organize: labels/tags, search, checklists, attachments.
- M3 — Second-brain seeds: `[[wiki-links]]`, backlinks, graph view, reminders.
- M4 — Launch hardening: responsive/PWA, settings UI, polish.

Work happens on `dev`; `main` is protected (PR-only).
