Goals

What Synapse is for

Five goals for the rebuild. Each one says what it means and how I will know it is done.

Understand the core architecture before writing code

Sketch how notes, tasks, projects and local AI fit together before opening the editor.

What done looks like: a written architecture sketch I can explain without looking at it.
Build each feature by hand, smallest working version first

Get a small version working end to end, then grow it. No feature starts big.

What done looks like: every feature works in its smallest form before I add anything to it.
Use AI only as a reviewer and tutor

AI explains concepts, points out bugs and suggests tests. It never writes the implementation.

What done looks like: every line in the repository was typed by me.
Keep a log of every session

Write down what I learned and what I got stuck on, so the lessons do not get lost.

What done looks like: each working session has an entry in the learning log.
Reach a working version of the core features

Notes, tasks, project linking and the workflow visualiser, working together.

What done looks like: I can capture a note, add a task, link it to a project and see it in the visualiser, on my own machine.
