MyApp - Work In Progress

A modular, minimalistic personal & collaborative life management app

Vision

A single app that consolidates fragmented daily tools (notes, expenses, recipes, media tracking, photo sharing) into one cohesive experience. Users create Spaces - customizable modules that can be personal or shared with groups.

Core Concepts

1. Spaces (formerly "Tabs")

A Space is a customizable container for a specific purpose. Instead of hardcoded features, users create Spaces from templates:

Template	Description
Recipe Book	Store recipes with smart ingredient scaling, media attachments
Expense Tracker	Track spending by category, trip, or event
Photo Album	Shared photo collections with comments
Media Tracker	Track movies, series, books with progress & ratings
Notes	Simple markdown notes or checklists
Custom	Build your own with available field types

2. Collaboration Model

Every Space can be:

Private - Only you
Shared - Invite specific people (view or edit permissions)
Group - Belongs to a Group, all members have access

3. Groups

Groups are collections of people (like Telegram/WhatsApp groups):

Create a group, invite members
Attach Spaces to groups
Group chat for coordination
Role-based permissions (admin, editor, viewer)

Backend (Supabase)

Tables

-- Users (extends Supabase auth.users)

spaces
  - id (uuid)
  - owner_id (uuid, FK to profiles)
  - type (enum: recipe, expense, photo, media, notes, custom)
  - name
  - icon

  - is_archived
  - created_at
  - updated_at

-- Space content varies by type, stored in dedicated tables

Security

Row Level Security (RLS) on all tables
Users can only access their own data or shared content
Real-time subscriptions respect RLS

Storage Buckets

avatars - Profile pictures
space-media - Photos, videos, receipts
Public/private access based on Space sharing settings

Design Principles

Minimalist UI: Clean, uncluttered. Content first.
Progressive disclosure: Show basics, reveal advanced on demand.
Offline-capable: Core features work without internet.
Fast: Optimistic updates, lazy loading, efficient queries.
Accessible: Support screen readers, dynamic text sizes.
