Ops Daily Standup Board

Capture daily "yesterday / today / blockers" into a local weekly board. No more scrolling chat history.

The problem

Daily standups vanish in group chat. Weekly retros rely on memory; blockers have no paper trail.

The solution approach

A local board. Each person, each day, three text blocks (Yesterday / Today / Blocker). Auto-aggregates by week.

What you will end up with

  • One daily card per person; three short text blocks; under a minute to fill.
  • Week view: dates × people, color intensity = workload.
  • Blockers turn red and roll up into a top "This week's blockers" card.
  • Export weekly Markdown; paste straight into chat or docs.

[Goal]
Move daily standups out of chat into a local board that naturally rolls up by week and surfaces blockers.

[Platform & Stack]
- Windows + macOS; Electron + React + TypeScript; local SQLite

[Core Features]
1. "Today" view: a card per team member with three text fields (Yesterday / Today / Blocker).
2. "This week" view: rows = members, columns = Mon–Sun; hover for full text.
3. Top "Blockers this week" rollup card per person.
4. Export weekly Markdown, organized per person, with blockers list.
5. Member list local; disable on leave without losing history.

[Visual Style]
- Light background, white cards, radius 16, generous whitespace.
- Primary button muted dark; secondary light gray.
- Follows system dark mode; system fonts.

[Robustness]
- All data stays on the local machine. Offline.
- Autosave; 7-day rolling backups.
- Friendly messages on bad input, never raw stack traces.

[Delivery]
1. Outline project structure + plain-text wireframe first; wait for confirmation.
2. Deliver in modules; run each one for me to see.
3. Package a Windows .exe and macOS .dmg, ship a 500-word plain-language user guide, list known limits.

Start with structure and wireframe.
