# Family Planner — Project Reference A self-hosted family dashboard designed for always-on display (wall tablet, TV, Unraid server). Manages calendars, chores, shopping, meals, a message board, countdowns, and a photo screensaver — all in one Docker container with zero external services required. --- ## Tech Stack | Layer | Technology | |---|---| | **Runtime** | Node.js 22, Docker (Alpine) | | **Backend** | Express 4, TypeScript 5 | | **Database** | Node.js built-in SQLite (`node:sqlite`), WAL mode | | **File uploads** | Multer | | **Frontend** | React 18, TypeScript 5, Vite 5 | | **Styling** | Tailwind CSS 3, CSS custom properties (theme tokens) | | **Animation** | Framer Motion 11 | | **State / data** | TanStack Query 5, Zustand 4 | | **Routing** | React Router 6 | | **Icons** | Lucide React | | **Date utils** | date-fns 3 | | **Package manager** | pnpm (workspaces monorepo) | | **CI/CD** | Gitea Actions → Docker build & push to private registry | | **Deployment target** | Unraid (Community Applications / CLI install) | --- ## Repository Structure ``` family-planner/ ├── apps/ │ ├── client/ # React frontend │ │ └── src/ │ │ ├── components/ │ │ │ ├── layout/ │ │ │ │ └── AppShell.tsx # Sidebar, mobile drawer, page wrapper │ │ │ ├── screensaver/ │ │ │ │ └── Screensaver.tsx # Idle screensaver w/ Ken Burns slideshow │ │ │ └── ui/ # Design-system primitives │ │ │ ├── Avatar.tsx │ │ │ ├── Badge.tsx │ │ │ ├── Button.tsx │ │ │ ├── Input.tsx │ │ │ ├── Modal.tsx │ │ │ ├── Select.tsx │ │ │ ├── Textarea.tsx │ │ │ └── ThemeToggle.tsx │ │ ├── features/ # Feature-scoped sub-components │ │ │ ├── calendar/ │ │ │ ├── chores/ │ │ │ └── shopping/ │ │ ├── hooks/ │ │ │ └── useMembers.ts │ │ ├── lib/ │ │ │ └── api.ts # Axios instance + all API types │ │ ├── pages/ # One file per route │ │ │ ├── Calendar.tsx ✅ complete │ │ │ ├── Chores.tsx ✅ complete │ │ │ ├── Photos.tsx ✅ complete │ │ │ ├── Settings.tsx ✅ complete │ │ │ ├── Members.tsx ✅ complete │ │ │ ├── Shopping.tsx ✅ complete │ │ │ ├── Dashboard.tsx 🔲 stub │ │ │ ├── Meals.tsx 🔲 stub │ │ │ ├── Board.tsx 🔲 stub │ │ │ └── Countdowns.tsx 🔲 stub │ │ └── store/ │ │ ├── settingsStore.ts # Zustand settings (synced from DB) │ │ └── themeStore.ts # Zustand theme + CSS token application │ └── server/ │ └── src/ │ ├── db/ │ │ ├── db.ts # node:sqlite wrapper + transaction helper │ │ ├── runner.ts # Sequential migration runner │ │ └── migrations/ │ │ └── 001_initial.ts # Full schema + seed data │ ├── routes/ # One router file per domain │ │ ├── members.ts ✅ full CRUD │ │ ├── settings.ts ✅ key/value GET + PATCH │ │ ├── events.ts ✅ full CRUD + date-range filter │ │ ├── shopping.ts ✅ full CRUD (lists + items) │ │ ├── chores.ts ✅ full CRUD + completions │ │ ├── meals.ts ✅ full CRUD (upsert by date) │ │ ├── messages.ts ✅ full CRUD + pin/expiry │ │ ├── countdowns.ts ✅ full CRUD + event link │ │ └── photos.ts ✅ list, upload, serve, delete, slideshow │ └── index.ts # Express app + static client serve ├── .gitea/workflows/ │ └── docker-build.yml # Push to main → build + push Docker image ├── Dockerfile # Multi-stage: client build → server build → runtime ├── docker-compose.yml ├── docker-entrypoint.sh # PUID/PGID ownership fix + app start ├── UNRAID.md # Full Unraid install guide (GUI + CLI) ├── INSTALL.md └── PROJECT.md # ← this file ``` --- ## Database Schema All tables live in a single SQLite file at `$DATA_DIR/family.db`. | Table | Purpose | |---|---| | `members` | Family member profiles (name, color, avatar) | | `settings` | Key/value app configuration store | | `events` | Calendar events (all-day, timed, recurrence field) | | `shopping_lists` | Named shopping lists | | `shopping_items` | Line items (quantity, checked state, member assignment) | | `chores` | Chore definitions (recurrence, due date, status) | | `chore_completions` | Completion history per chore per member | | `meals` | One dinner entry per calendar date (upsert pattern) | | `messages` | Board messages (color, emoji, pin, optional expiry) | | `countdowns` | Countdown timers (linked to calendar event or standalone) | Photos are stored as files on disk — no database table.

`. ### Meals `🔲` **Backend:** `GET /api/meals`, `PUT /api/meals/:date` (upsert), `DELETE /api/meals/:date` **Planned UI:** - Weekly grid (Mon – Sun) showing the current week's dinner plan - Click any day to open a quick-edit modal (title, description, recipe URL) - Week navigation (prev / next) - "No meal planned" empty state per day - Recipe link button when `recipe_url` is set ### Message Board `🔲` **Backend:** `GET /api/messages`, `POST`, `PATCH /:id`, `DELETE /:id` **Planned UI:** - Sticky-note card grid - Custom card background colour + emoji - Pin important messages to the top - Optional expiry (auto-removed after date) - Member attribution - Quick compose at the bottom ### Countdowns `🔲` **Backend:** `GET /api/countdowns`, `POST`, `PUT /:id`, `DELETE /:id` **Planned UI:** - Card grid showing days remaining to each target date - Large number + label per card - Custom colour and emoji per countdown - Optional link to a calendar event - Flag to show on Dashboard - Completed countdowns hidden (target date in the past is filtered server-side) ### Dashboard `🔲` **Planned UI (depends on all modules above being complete):** - Today's date + time (respects `time_format` / `date_format`) - Weather widget (OpenWeatherMap — API key + location already in Settings) - Upcoming calendar events (next 3–5) - Today's meal plan - Active chore count / completion summary - Shopping list item count - Pinned messages preview - Countdowns flagged `show_on_dashboard` - Quick-action buttons to each module --- ## Roadmap ### Near-term (next sessions) - [ ] **Meals page** — weekly dinner grid with modal editor - [ ] **Message Board page** — sticky-note UI with compose, pin, expiry - [ ] **Countdowns page** — day-count cards with create/edit/delete - [ ] **Dashboard** — wire up all modules once the above are complete - [ ] **Weather widget** — OpenWeatherMap fetch on the Dashboard using stored credentials ### Medium-term - [ ] **Recurring chore automation** — auto-reset status to `pending` on schedule instead of just storing the recurrence label - [ ] **Calendar recurrence expansion** — expand recurring events into visible instances on the grid - [ ] **Meal recipe import** — paste a URL, scrape title from `` or Open Graph - [ ] **Shopping list reorder** — drag-and-drop reorder items (sort_order column already in schema) - [ ] **Member avatar upload** — upload image instead of text initials - [ ] **Screensaver burn-in mitigation** — slowly drift clock position across OLED panels ### Future / Nice-to-have - [ ] **PWA manifest + service worker** — installable on tablet home screen, offline cache for static assets - [ ] **Push notifications** — chore reminders, upcoming events (requires service worker) - [ ] **Multi-user auth** — PIN-per-member or password gate (currently open LAN access only) - [ ] **Backup / restore UI** — download `family.db` and restore from file in the app - [ ] **Community Applications XML template** — publish official Unraid CA template - [ ] **Dark mode auto-schedule** — switch theme at sunrise/sunset based on location - [ ] **Grocery store integration** — import a shared list from a URL or barcode scan --- ## API Reference All endpoints are under `/api`.
