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
(None yet — ship to validate)
Active
- 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
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 | — Pending |
| Tags over folders | Flexible organization, items can have multiple tags | — Pending |
| Images from day one | Core need is digitizing paper notes | — Pending |
