# 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
(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 |
