TaskPlanner

What This Is

A personal web app for capturing tasks and thoughts with image attachments, accessible from any device. Replaces scattered paper notes and Samsung Notes by providing a single place to capture, organize, and find things — especially from laptop where Samsung Notes doesn't work.

Core Value

Capture and find anything from any device — especially laptop. If cross-device capture with images doesn't work, nothing else matters.

Requirements

Validated (v1.0 - Shipped 2026-02-01)

  • Capture tasks and thoughts from any device via web browser
  • Distinguish between tasks (actionable) and thoughts (reference)
  • Attach images to entries (from file upload or camera)
  • Organize entries with tags (emergent, not predefined categories)
  • Find entries by tag, time, or search
  • Add notes to existing entries
  • Digitize paper notes by photographing and tagging them

Active

(None — see v2 candidates in .planning/milestones/v1.0-REQUIREMENTS.md)

Out of Scope

  • Mobile native app — web-first, browser works on all devices
  • Real-time collaboration — personal tool, single user
  • Offline mode — online-first for v1
  • OCR/text extraction from images — manual tagging is fine for now
  • Calendar integration — focus on capture and retrieval first

Context

Current pain:

  • Paper notes scattered, hard to find
  • Samsung Notes works on phone/tablet but no web access for laptop
  • Finding things means manually scanning through piles

User profile:

  • Senior software engineer, DIY mindset
  • Comfortable with self-hosting and container deployments

Learning goals:

  • Vibe coding (AI-assisted development)
  • Container deployments

This project solves a real problem while serving as a vehicle for learning new approaches.

Constraints

  • Deployment: Container-based — user wants to learn/practice container deployments
  • Platform: Web app — must work in any modern browser
  • User: Single user (personal tool) — no multi-tenancy needed for v1

Key Decisions

Decision Rationale Outcome
Web app over native Works on all devices including laptop without app stores ✓ Validated
Tags over folders Flexible organization, items can have multiple tags ✓ Validated
Images from day one Core need is digitizing paper notes ✓ Validated
