Give labels a color (migration 0011 adds labels.color, server_default 'default' so existing labels keep the neutral chip). The PATCH endpoint now updates name and/or color; note serialization carries each label's color. Frontend: a swatch picker per label in the Edit-labels modal, colored chips on cards + in the editor (LABEL_CHIP_CLASSES), and a color dot on each sidebar label. Reuses the note color vocabulary. (Graph node coloring rides this in the graph-liveliness task.)

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):
pip install -e ".[dev]"
alembic upgrade head
hypercorn 'thoughtsync.app:create_app()' --bind 0.0.0.0:5000
Frontend (proxies /api to :5000):
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:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
Or the full production image (SPA baked in) at http://localhost:5000:
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_URLis 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).
