## Project-Specific Instructions

# Product Requirements Document (PRD) Update - Notes Taking App - 2025-09-25T10:16:00

## 1. Executive Summary Update
This update refines the PRD to focus on a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a notes-taking application, prioritizing core functionality and local storage. Future iterations will expand features and explore cloud storage and user authentication.

## 2. Product Vision & Strategy Update
The product vision is to create a simple, user-friendly notes-taking application that enables users to efficiently capture, organize, and retrieve their notes. The MVP strategy focuses on delivering core note management functionality with local storage to validate the core user experience before scaling to more complex features.

## 3. Target Users & Personas Update
The primary target users are individuals needing a basic notes-taking solution.  Personas will be developed in a future iteration to more accurately represent this user base.

## 4. Problem Statement Update
The problem addressed by this application is the lack of a simple, efficient, and readily accessible notes-taking application for capturing and organizing personal information.  The MVP addresses this problem by providing essential note creation, editing, deletion, search, and basic organization features.

## 5. Solution Overview Update
This MVP provides a notes-taking application with a clean and intuitive interface, focusing on core note management features.  Notes are stored locally, ensuring data availability even offline.  Future versions will explore user authentication, cloud storage, and enhanced organizational features.

## 6. Functional Requirements Update
The following functional requirements are added/modified:

* **FR-001: Note Creation:** The application shall allow users to create new notes with text content, including basic formatting (bold, italics, headings).  A creation timestamp will be automatically added.
* **FR-002: Note Editing:** The application shall allow users to modify existing notes, including basic formatting (bold, italics, headings).  An update timestamp will be automatically updated.
* **FR-003: Note Deletion:** The application shall allow users to delete notes.  Deleted notes will be removed from local storage.
* **FR-004: Note Search:** The application shall provide a search functionality allowing users to find notes containing specific keywords in their title or content (case-insensitive).  Partial keyword matches should be supported.
* **FR-005: Note Tagging:** The application shall allow users to add and remove tags to/from notes.  Tags should be displayed with the notes in the list view and facilitate searching.  Duplicate tags will be prevented.
* **FR-006: Data Persistence (Local):** The application shall persistently store notes locally on the user's device using browser's `localStorage`.  Appropriate error handling for `localStorage` is required.

## 7. Non-Functional Requirements Update

* **NFR-001: Usability:** The application shall be intuitive and easy to use, with a clean and uncluttered interface.  Clear instructions and guidance will be provided to users.
* **NFR-002: Performance:** The application shall provide a responsive user experience with minimal latency, even when managing a significant number of notes.
* **NFR-003: Security (MVP):**  Data security for this MVP is focused on protecting data stored in `localStorage`.  While the risk is considered low, proper input sanitization will be applied to mitigate potential XSS vulnerabilities.
* **NFR-004: Offline Functionality:** The application shall function correctly offline, as data is stored locally.
