# Focus
|
|
|
|
> [!CAUTION]
|
|
> Focus is in alpha development stage. It is not yet recommended for production use. Please report any bugs or issues you encounter.
|
|
|
|
Focus is an open-source, Kanban-style project management tool, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency. The backend is written in go and the frontend is in svelte.
|
|
|
|
The official source code repository is at [git.bhasher.com/Bhasher/focus](https://git.bhasher.com/Bhasher/focus). It runs the CI pipeline and hosts the Docker images and releases. However, a mirror is available at [github.com/Bhasher/focus](https://github.com/Bhasher/focus).
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Kanban-style boards
|
|
- RESTful API
|
|
|
|
### Planned Features
|
|
|
|
- Markdown support
|
|
- Real-time collaboration
|
|
|
|
## KISS Principles
|
|
|
|
Adhering to [KISS principles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle), Focus boasts a minimalist, efficient codebase, concentrating on essential features. This streamlined approach minimizes complexity, enhancing maintainability and ease of deployment across different architectures.
|
|
|
|
Go was chosen for the backend because of its simplicity, speed, and cross-platform support. Svelte was chosen for the frontend because it can be compiled to static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which can easily be served by any web server.
|
|
|
|
Certain features are intentionally excluded, left to specialized tools. These include:
|
|
|
|
- Authentication
|
|
- HTTPS
|
|
- Notifications
|
|
- Mobile App
|
|
|
|
HTTPS and authentication have been successfully tested with [traefik](https://traefik.io/) and [authelia](https://www.authelia.com/) middleware but it should work with most reverse proxies and authentication middleware as it is platform-agnostic.
|
|
|
|
Focus offers a comprehensive RESTful API for extensions and integrations.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to run Focus is with Docker. There is three images available:
|
|
|
|
- `git.bhasher.com/Bhasher/focus-frontend` for the svelte UI frontend
|
|
- `git.bhasher.com/Bhasher/focus-backend` for the go backend
|
|
- `git.bhasher.com/Bhasher/focus` for both in one image
|
|
|
|
Each image has a `latest` tag and a `vX.Y.Z` tag for each release. The `latest` tag is updated with each release.
|
|
|
|
Example `docker-compose.yaml` is available [here](docker-compose.yaml).
|
|
|
|
### Desktop App
|
|
|
|
Focus is available as a desktop app using [Tauri](https://tauri.app). Automatic releases are only available for Linux as binaries, AppImage, and DEB packages. Download the latest release from the [releases page](https://git.bhasher.com/Bhasher/focus/releases).
|
|
|
|
For other platforms, you can build the desktop app yourself using `npm run tauri build` in the `frontend` directory.
|
|
|
|
> [!CAUTION]
|
|
> The desktop app requires the backend to be running. You can specify the backend URL via the `PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL` environment variable. The default is `http://localhost:3000`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:3000 ./focus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### AUR
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yay -S focus-desktop-bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
