Design Materials

Technology

  • TypeScript
• React
• Tailwind
• Maybe try IndexDB?
• Cryptographic Libraries

Architecture

Four main components of this application:

• Data manager UI.
• Dada model that the UI manager uses.
  • Object structure in JavaScript/JSON.
  • How it's serialized to bytes? Or to strings or to whatever storage?
• Encryption scheme.
• Persistence scheme.

Minimalistic Style

• When you view the app, it's has just enough design to distinguish it from other apps.
• One way to initiate all activities
  • Early thoughts are a text box, "type help to get help" placeholder.
  • "new" to create a new record.
  • Type what I want to find what I want.
  • Create, search, view, modify, and delete records.
  • Locks us into English.
• Mobile design first, but consider Desktop as well.
• Dark modes.
