Waydriver Backend

Waydriver is a cutting-edge task management system. For more info about it, visit the project's main page.

This repository contains the code for the backend, which is written with TypeScript, using the Express framework.

Running the backend

1. git clone the project
2. npm install
3. Create a .env file by copying .env_example, then modify as required
4. npm run dev

Running in production

I haven't thought about this yet, check back later. I might put together a nice Docker system or something.

This is a work in progress

I'm planning to continue working on this in my spare time. Currently, it is not in a workable state, and probably won't be for some time (there isn't even a frontend yet). Hopefully it'll be ready to try out soon!

Roadmap

These are the things I'm hoping to tackle on the backend, in no particular order:

• Basic task management
• Path-finding algorithm for suggesting tasks.
• Task dimensions (eg, estimated time, priority, number of spoons, maybe custom dimensions as well)
• Path-finding algorithm that lets users prioritise dimensions
• Use a proper database, preferably something that plays nice with TypeScript?
• Create some kind of validation system for the API that is more reliable, perhaps using express-openapi-validator with a swagger.yaml or something?

I'm not sure where I'll go from there - this project is primarily designed to match my own needs for a task management system, so after I've got the basic stuff working, I'll add things as I see fit.
