cornerstone

Note

I'm using this project to test out 'vibe coding' - I use this as a playground to better understand how to use an agentic development workflow. My plan is to write as little code as possible, but rely on a set of agents to build this application. I currently have a time-limited need for this (relatievely) simple application - which is why I'm not necessarily concerned about long-term maintainability.

A self-hosted home building project management tool for homeowners. Track work items, manage dependencies, organize with tags, and collaborate with your household -- all from a single Docker container backed by SQLite. No external database or cloud service required.
