Tasko is a lightweight, privacy-conscious task and todo manager built with React and TypeScript. It emphasizes fast task capture, offline-first reliability, and optional cloud sync to help individuals and small teams stay organized and productive.

• Tasko — Smart Task Manager

• Summary: Tasko provides a fast, minimal interface for creating, organizing, and completing tasks. It is designed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) with offline support and optional cloud synchronization.
• Why it exists: To offer a focused alternative to complex or connectivity-dependent task apps — prioritizing quick capture, dependable offline behavior, and extensibility.
• Audience: Power users, freelancers, students, and small teams that value speed, simplicity, and portability.

• Core issue: Many task managers are either feature-bloated or too simplistic, often requiring constant connectivity or locking users into heavy ecosystems.
• Why it matters: Poor tooling causes missed deadlines, fragmented workflows, and productivity loss. Tasko reduces friction and helps users keep work and responsibilities under control.

• Quick Capture: Instant task creation with title, notes, due date, priority, and tags.
• Organized Views: All, Today, Upcoming, Completed, tag filters, and search.
• Subtasks & Checklists: Break tasks into smaller actionable steps.
• Notifications & Reminders: Local and push notifications with click handling to open specific tasks.
• Offline-first PWA: Service worker caching, local persistence, and queued sync when online.
• Optional Cloud Sync: Firebase-ready sync implementation (replaceable with other backends).
• Predictable State Management: Reducer/store pattern (src/redux) and middleware for robust updates.
• Accessibility & Theming: Dark/light mode and keyboard navigation support.
• Export/Import: JSON/CSV export and import for portability and backups.

1. Onboard: Open the web app or install the PWA. Optionally sign in to enable cloud sync. Cached data loads immediately.
2. Capture: Use the Add control to create a task with optional fields (notes, tags, due date). Tasks appear instantly.
3. Organize: Filter by Today, Tags, Priority, or search. Mark tasks complete or add subtasks.
4. Remind & Notify: Schedule reminders. Notifications open the app to the related task on click.
5. Offline: Actions persist locally when offline and sync to the backend when connectivity returns. Conflicts are resolved with a simple, user-friendly strategy.

• Frontend: React + TypeScript, built with Vite (vite.config.ts).
• Styling: Tailwind CSS (tailwind.config.js) and index.css.
• State Management: Reducer-style store in src/redux with middleware (todoMiddleware.ts).
• Backend / Sync: Optional Firebase integration (src/firebase.ts), designed to be replaceable.
• PWA & Offline: Service worker (sw.js) and manifest.webmanifest enable installable, offline-capable behavior.
• Notifications: Push and local notifications, plus click handling (push.js, notificationonclickEvent.json).

• Primary: Individuals needing a fast, reliable personal task manager.
• Secondary: Freelancers and small teams seeking simple shared lists without heavy PM tooling.
• Tertiary: Educators, students, and developers who want an extendable open frontend.

• Reliability: Offline-first design protects user data and availability.
• Speed: Fast capture workflow reduces friction and context switching.
• Continuity: Optional cloud sync keeps tasks consistent across devices.
• Privacy-friendly: Sync is optional — users can keep data local.
• Extensible: Modular codebase makes it easy to add integrations and features.

• Collaboration: Shared lists, task assignment, and comments.
• Advanced Reminders: Natural-language date parsing, recurring tasks, and smart snooze.
• Calendar Integrations: Two-way sync with Google and Outlook calendars.
• Analytics & Insights: Completion streaks, time tracking, and productivity dashboards.
• AI Enhancements: Smart suggestions, auto-tagging, and note summarization.
• End-to-end Encryption: Optional encrypted sync for privacy-sensitive users.
