TaskBuddy

TaskBuddy is a lightweight task management web app (MVP) that helps users create, edit, delete, and track tasks across three columns: To Do, Doing, and Done. This repository currently contains project documentation and planning artifacts; application code (frontend/backend) can be added under /frontend and /backend.

Tester Note (Sarvesh): This is a test change made on the tester branch for workflow validation.

Roles

• Sarvesh — Product Manager, Frontend, Tester
• Bhushan — UI/UX Designer, Backend

Tech stack (planned)

• Frontend: React (Vite) + TailwindCSS
• Backend: Node.js + Express
• Storage: JSON file (MVP)

Quickstart (development)

These are example steps; update paths if you scaffold frontend/ and backend/ folders.

1. Install Node.js (v18+ recommended).
2. Backend (if added):
   • cd backend; npm install; npm run dev
   • Server will listen on http://localhost:5000
3. Frontend (if added):
   • cd frontend; npm install; npm run dev
   • Visit the Vite dev server URL (usually http://localhost:5173)

Branching & workflow

• main — stable releases
• develop — integration branch
• frontend/*, backend/*, uiux/*, tester/* — feature branches

V2 Collaboration Flow

• Branches: frontend/v2/*, backend/v2/*, docs/v2/*
• PRs target develop and require one reviewer from the other role
• Conventional commit prefixes: Frontend[Name], Backend[Name], Docs[Name], Testing[Name]
• Keep scope simple (no auth); focus on localStorage FE and small BE utilities

PRs should target develop. Tag PRs with feature, fix, docs, or test and request at least one reviewer.
