## PROJECT BREAKDOWN - Simple Notes Taking App - 2025-10-09 04:57:00

### 1. Project Overview
*   **Goal:** Develop a simple, responsive web application for creating, viewing, editing, and deleting notes, leveraging a client-server architecture with persistent storage.
*   **Target Audience:** Individuals needing a straightforward digital notepad for personal use.

### 2. Core Functional Requirements (User Stories - Initial Draft)
*   As a user, I want to create a new note with a title and content, so I can jot down my thoughts.
*   As a user, I want to view a list of all my notes, so I can easily browse them.
*   As a user, I want to view the details of a specific note, so I can read its full content.
*   As a user, I want to edit an existing note's title and content, so I can update my information.
*   As a user, I want to delete a note, so I can remove outdated information.
*   As a user, I want notes to be saved persistently, so I don't lose my data.

### 3. Non-Functional Requirements
*   **Performance:** Fast load times for notes list and individual note views.
*   **Usability:** Intuitive user interface, easy navigation for CRUD operations.
*   **Reliability:** Notes data should be consistently saved and retrieved without corruption.
*   **Scalability:** Initial design should be simple, but the architecture should allow for future enhancements (e.g., user authentication, tags, search).
*   **Security:** Basic data validation and sanitization for note content.
*   **Maintainability:** Clear code structure, well-documented components, adherence to io8 directory standards.

### 4. High-Level Architecture
*   **Frontend:** Single-Page Application (SPA) for user interaction, residing in the `/frontend/` directory (e.g., built with Angular, React, or Vue).
*   **Backend:** RESTful API for managing notes, residing in the `/backend/` directory (e.g., built with Node.js/Express, Python/Flask/Django, Spring Boot).
*   **Database:** A relational database for persistent storage of notes (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQLite), managed by the backend.

### 5. Key Milestones
*   **M1: Backend Foundation (API & DB Persistence):** Core CRUD API endpoints for notes, integrated with a database for data persistence.
*   **M2: Frontend Core (View & Create):** User interface for displaying a list of notes and a form for creating new notes, consuming the backend API.
*   **M3: Frontend Enhancements (Edit & Delete):** User interface for editing and deleting existing notes.
*   **M4: Local Development & Initial Deployment Setup:** Dockerization of frontend and backend, `docker-compose` for local orchestration, basic deployment configuration.
*   **M5: Testing & Refinement:** Comprehensive testing, bug fixing, and UX/UI polish.

### 6. Technical Considerations (Preliminary)
*   **Frontend Framework:** To be selected by `io8architect` and `io8developer`, but will be built from scratch within `/frontend/` or integrated into the `cloned base project/` if the base project template (e.g., Angular Clarity) is deemed suitable and lightweight enough for a "simple" app.
*   **Backend Framework:** To be selected by `io8architect` and `io8developer`, will be built within `/backend/`.
*   **Database:** Choice between SQLite (for simplicity) or PostgreSQL (for scalability) will be made by `io8architect`.
*   **Deployment:** Containerized deployment using Docker, orchestrated with Docker Compose for local development, and potentially a cloud provider for production (to be determined by `io8devops`).

### 7. Constraints & Risks
*   **Simplicity Requirement:** Avoid feature creep; maintain focus on core note-taking functionality.
*   **Base Project Integration:** Ensure new application code in `/backend/` and `/frontend/` does not conflict with or unnecessarily bloat the `cloned base project/` content, which primarily houses `.sureai/` and might contain a boilerplate if not directly used for the notes app.
*   **Dependency Management:** Manage dependencies effectively to avoid conflicts and maintain a lean application.
*   **Timeframe:** To be defined in the project plan by `io8pm` and `io8sm`.
