A privacy-first Eisenhower matrix for deciding what to do, schedule, delegate, or eliminate. Live app: gsd.vinny.dev Current version: 13.9.2 Current product: the v11 single-matrix shell, offline-first local storage, optional PocketBase sync, and the GSD MCP server. - A responsive four-quadrant matrix with drag-and-drop movement.

A privacy-first Eisenhower matrix for deciding what to do, schedule, delegate, or eliminate. Live app: gsd.vinny.dev Current version: 13.9.2 Current product: the v11 single-matrix shell, offline-first local storage, optional PocketBase sync, and the GSD MCP server. - A responsive four-quadrant matrix with drag-and-drop movement. - Quick Capture, full task editing, search, keyboard navigation, and optional built-in Smart Views. - Due dates, tags, dependency selection, and circular-dependency prevention. - Archive, dashboard/review analytics, sync history, settings, and onboarding. - Local IndexedDB persistence, JSON import/export, offline PWA support, and user-controlled update prompts. - Optional multi-device PocketBase sync with Google, Apple, or GitHub OAuth and realtime server-sent events. - A separately installed MCP server with 19 task, analytics, and diagnostic tools, including validated and dry-run-aware writes. - Light and dark Inkwell "GSD Editorial" themes with WCAG AA as the accessibility floor. Retired v7/v8 surfaces such as selection-mode batch operations, the Quick Settings panel, and smart-view pinning shortcuts are not part of the v11 shell. Local-only mode is the default. Tasks are stored in the browser's IndexedDB and the core product does not require a backend. Clearing browser data can erase local tasks, so export backups regularly. Cloud sync is explicitly optional. When enabled, task data is sent to the configured PocketBase server; the hosted configuration uses https://api.vinny.io . Self-hosting instructions and the encryption-at-rest hooks live under docker/ . See SECURITY.md for the precise trust and token-storage posture. The Eisenhower matrix classifies work by urgency and importance: - Do First — urgent and important. - Schedule — important, not urgent. - Delegate — urgent, not important. - Eliminate — neither urgent nor important. Use the Quick Capture field or press n to start a task. Use Shift+N for the full composer, / for search, ? for help, and Option+1 through Option+4 (Alt on non-Mac keyboards) to focus a quadrant. The in-app help drawer is the canonical shortcut ledger. Requirements: Bun 1.3.14, Node.js 22.22.2+ (or 24.15+ or 26+), and a current browser. bun run executes package scripts on Node, so tests, lint, and builds run on your installed Node. bun install bun dev Open http://localhost:3000 . A fresh browser profile starts at /about ; use the Open App call to action to enter the matrix. PocketBase is not required for local task CRUD. bun run test bun run test -- --coverage bun typecheck bun lint bun run quality:shape bun run license:check bun audit --audit-level=high bun run build bun run test:e2e Use bun run test , not bun test ; the latter invokes Bun's built-in runner instead of Vitest. Playwright covers Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. The optional authenticated PocketBase harness runs with: bun run test:system:pocketbase - Next.js 16 App Router static export; the application is client-side. - React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and the Violet Frost Inkwell tokens. - Dexie/IndexedDB for local data and PocketBase for optional cloud sync. - Vitest for unit/integration coverage and Playwright for browser coverage. - Bun workspaces, including packages/mcp-server/ . Start with ARCHITECTURE.md , docs/security-trust-boundaries.md , and the architecture decisions in docs/adr/ . bun run build creates the static export inout/ .bun run deploy runs the production deployment script. Production (gsd.vinny.dev) is the only deploy target; the development deploy was retired on 2026-09-11.docker/Dockerfile builds the self-hosted Caddy and PocketBase image.cloudfront/response-headers-policy.json and the related scripts manage production response headers. Uploading an artifact is not proof that the CDN or a running container serves it. Verify the deployed URL separately. Before changing the release version or announcing a feature: - Compare the README version with package.json . - Verify every feature claim in the current shell, not only in retained data models or archived ADRs. - Run the canonical checks above and a production static build. - Update the GitHub release notes, SECURITY.md , and the trust-boundary map when the release changes their claims. - Treat source, tests, build artifacts, deployment, and live runtime as separate evidence states. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before making changes. Report vulnerabilities through the private process in SECURITY.md , not a public issue.
