📋 Roadmap

Long term vision for the project:

• 👷‍♂️ Improve current features and refactor to avoid tech debt
• ➕ Add additional small/mid-sized features with high impact (reminders, sub-tasks, etc.)
• 🚚 Work towards 1.0 release with features from the backlog like internationalization or a widget panel
• 🔍 After 1.0: Assess what direction to take (focus on offline-only features or add support for cloud sync and collaboration)

A granular list of priorities can be found in the roadmap.

This project is open for any contributions or feature requests as long as they are polite, provide enough context and remain patient (replies might take a few days).

[!NOTE] This project is still in active development and is provided "AS IS". Please make regular backups/exports to prevent any data loss.

🛠 Contributing & Build Setup

If you want to contribute, please take a look at the Contribution Guidelines. The main branch is equivalent to a dev branch where development is done on - submit PRs here. The release branch is similar to a stable branch with the code of latest release.

Build Setup: If you want to build the app, you need to install Node.js (latest LTS version recommended), a package manager like yarn and the ↗ Tauri development environment. Then, depending on your use case you can run the commands below:

# Install dependencies
yarn install

# Start debug tauri build
yarn tauri dev

# Build tauri for production
