Phase 2: Core CRUD - Context

Gathered: 2026-01-29 Status: Ready for planning

## Phase Boundary

Users can create, manage, and view entries with a responsive, accessible UI. This phase delivers:

Entry list displaying tasks and thoughts
Quick capture for fast entry creation
Entry editing (title, content, type, completion status)
Delete functionality
Adding notes to existing entries
Mobile-responsive UI with readable fonts

Tags, images, search, and pinning are separate phases.

## Implementation Decisions

Quick Capture

Fixed at bottom of page (thumb-friendly on mobile)
Two fields visible: title and content
After submit: clear input, scroll to and briefly highlight new entry
Default type: remember last used (sticky preference)
Type toggle should be visible in capture UI

Entry List Layout

Mixed layout: cards on desktop, compact list on mobile
Info shown per entry: title, content preview (truncated), type indicator (badge/icon)
Do NOT show dates in list view (keep it clean)
Default ordering: tasks first, then thoughts (within each group: newest first)
Completed tasks: hidden by default with toggle to show

Entry Editing Flow

Inline expand: clicking entry expands it in place to show edit fields
No page navigation or modal for editing
Auto-save: changes save as you type (debounced)
Delete: swipe to delete gesture (mobile-friendly)
Adding notes: append to content field (no separate notes section)

Task Completion

Checkbox to mark complete
Completed tasks disappear from main list (hidden by default)
Toggle in UI to show/hide completed tasks

Claude's Discretion

Exact swipe gesture implementation
Auto-save debounce timing
Visual design of type indicators
Animation timing for highlight effect
Responsive breakpoint for card vs compact switch

## Specific Ideas

Bottom capture bar should feel natural on mobile — like messaging app input
Entry expansion should be smooth, not jarring
Type indicator should be obvious at a glance (tasks actionable, thoughts reference)
Font sizes must accommodate older eyes (minimum 16px base as per requirements)

## Deferred Ideas

None — discussion stayed within phase scope.
