An app to build questlines for organized and trackable self-learning goals.

There's probably an application out there for easy "skill tree" or "questline" building like this, but I couldn't find one and would rather learn some more by building it myself.

This is a prototype for a future task tracking application I have in mind and want to work out the details on various features I'm planning.

View demo (browser-only) version at - https://barrettotte.github.io/questlines/

# build (frontend, then backend)
make build

# run - served at http://localhost:8080
make run

# build docker image
make image

# run in container - served at http://localhost:8080
make run_docker

# run in browser-only mode (for demo purposes) - served at http://localhost:3000
make browser_only

This is a prototype so I gave some features more attention than others and skipped other things.

• general
  • This app is single user with no login/security. This is designed for self-hosting on a network by yourself.
  • No unit tests implemented.
• backend
  • The backend only handles full Questline objects. Ideally I should have endpoints for quest, dependency, objective, etc.
  • The backend should be broken up into individual object stores and endpoint handlers.
  • Audit fields like updated and created were only added to the questline table.
  • I did not add a mechanism to rollback database migrations.
• frontend
  • The frontend relies on manual saving. Ideally I should be more chatty with the backend and save every change.
  • This was not designed with mobile in mind, so it probably looks terrible and doesn't function correctly.
  • Quest objective lists cannot be reorganized.
  • If separate endpoints on backend are implemented, there should be separate stores and services.
