Welcome to the GrowBoard GitHub Organization. We build offline-first, privacy-centric productivity tools designed to put complete data ownership back into the hands of users.

GrowBoard replaces the traditional server-centric SaaS model with a client-only architecture that utilizes your personal Google Drive as a secure database.

We believe productivity tools shouldn't require trading away your privacy. Our design principles are:

• Zero-Server Architecture: We do not run databases or tracking servers. The application exists solely in your browser, running completely client-side.
• Google Drive-First Storage: Your authoritative data is stored in human-readable Google Sheets inside your personal Google Drive. You own the files; we never see them.
• Offline-First & Instant: All UI state is cached locally (via Zustand). The interface remains fully interactive and responsive even without an active internet connection.
• Modular Stream Deck Style: Grid-based dashboard widgets for managing Credentials, Plans, Expenses, Goals, Learnings, and Resources.

The main web application. A React + TypeScript SPA styled with Chakra UI v3, utilizing Zustand for local cache sync and the Google Sheets/Drive API for persistence.

• Tech Stack: React 18, TypeScript, Chakra UI v3, Zustand, TanStack Query, TanStack Form, Jest.
• Status: Active Beta (v0.5.3)

                          |   Your Google Drive   |

1. Local Writes: User updates a widget (e.g., adding an expense or checking off a goal). The local Zustand cache updates instantly.
2. Background Sync: Changes queue up and write to the corresponding Google Sheet in your personal Google Drive via HTTPS.
3. Offline Access: If offline, Zustand retains changes in localStorage and merges them with Google Drive bidirectionally once connection is restored.
4. Zero Intermediaries: The token, keys, and spreadsheet rows remain on your device and inside Google's secure ecosystem. We collect absolutely zero telemetry.

We are fully open-source and welcome contributions of all kinds!

Since GrowBoard has no backend, security is simple:

• We cannot access your sheets, credentials, or personal information.
• Authentications are handled strictly via standard Google OAuth 2.0 implicit/popup flows.
• To revoke access at any time, simply go to your Google Account's Third-party apps settings.
