IdeaScore is a tool to help users track, evaluate, and prioritize their ideas based on estimated effort and potential payoff. The application allows users to:

1. Add ideas with descriptions
2. Rate ideas on effort (1-10) and payoff (1-10) scales
3. View ideas ranked by payoff-to-effort ratio
4. Organize ideas with tags and filtering
5. Visualize ideas on charts to better understand their relative value

We will develop IdeaScore using an incremental approach with well-defined checkpoints:

1. Each checkpoint represents a focused set of features
2. Work will only progress after approval of previous checkpoint
3. Testing is integrated throughout development
4. Documentation evolves alongside the codebase
5. The code will prioritize readability and maintainability

All code will be contained within the projects/ideaScore folder with the following structure:

/projects/ideaScore/
├── handler.tsx          # Main entry point
├── components/          # UI components
├── utils/               # Utility functions
├── database/            # Database operations
├── styles/              # CSS styles
├── tests/               # Test files
└── docs/                # Documentation

1. Complete all tasks in a checkpoint
2. Run tests to ensure functionality
3. Document any implementation decisions
4. Request approval from project owner
5. Address feedback before moving to next checkpoint

• Create roadmap.md
• Create schema.md
• Create userstories.md
• Create data_architecture.md
• Create project_plan.md (this document)
• Create initial wireframes for key screens

• Create database initialization script
• Implement base database utility functions
• Create test scripts for database operations
• Document database API

• Create form component
• Implement form submission logic
• Add validation
• Style form component
• Create success/error handling

• Create list view component
• Implement data fetching
• Add sorting functionality
• Create empty state display
• Style list view

• Enhance form with score inputs
• Add score visualization
• Implement ratio calculation
• Update list view to show scores
• Add sorting by scores and ratio

1. Data Isolation

   • Risk: Cross-contamination between application data
   • Mitigation: Follow table naming conventions and data isolation strategy outlined in data_architecture.md

2. UI Consistency

   • Risk: Inconsistent look and feel with main application
   • Mitigation: Use shared styling where appropriate, document UI decisions

3. Feature Creep

   • Risk: Scope expanding beyond manageable checkpoints
   • Mitigation: Strict adherence to checkpoint approval process, defer non-essential features

4. Technical Debt

   • Risk: Rushed implementation leading to maintenance challenges
   • Mitigation: Regular code reviews, comprehensive testing, clear documentation

We will consider Phase 1 successful when:

1. Users can add, view, and score ideas
2. Ideas are properly sorted by ratio
3. The interface is intuitive and responsive
4. Data is properly isolated from other applications
5. All identified tests pass
6. Documentation is complete and up-to-date

No specific timeline is established, as progress will be checkpoint-driven. Each checkpoint will be completed and approved before moving to the next.

1. Complete any remaining items in Checkpoint 1.1
2. Begin implementation of Checkpoint 1.2 upon approval
3. Regular check-ins to assess progress and adjust roadmap as needed

This project plan is a living document and will be updated as the project progresses.
