Product Requirements Document
Kanvas product requirements and feature specifications
📋 Kanvas — Product Requirements Document (PRD)
🧠 Concept
Kanvas is a full-stack productivity workspace featuring:
- Kanban boards
- Tasks with priorities, statuses, and assignees
- Notes and attachments
- Real-time updates
- User authentication & workspaces
It’s designed for both team collaboration and personal productivity, built on top of scalable, production-grade technologies.
🎯 Goals
- Demonstrate full-stack proficiency using Next.js 15 and Prisma.
- Integrate Better Auth for secure authentication and role-based access.
- Enable real-time experiences with Redis caching and WebSocket support.
- Maintain clean, modular, and extensible code.
- Document and automate everything with Fumadocs.
🧱 Core Features
1. Authentication
- Email + Password (Better Auth)
- OAuth (Google, GitHub)
- Protected routes via middleware
- JWT + Session handling
2. Workspaces
- Each user can create multiple workspaces.
- Workspace members (collaboration feature).
- Role-based permissions (Admin, Editor, Viewer).
3. Boards
- Each workspace contains multiple boards.
- Boards contain task columns (
Todo,In Progress,Done). - Drag-and-drop reordering (client-side state sync via Redux).
4. Tasks
- Title, description, assignee, due date, priority, status.
- Comments, attachments.
- Real-time updates via Redis Pub/Sub.
5. Notes
- Personal notes or workspace-shared.
- Markdown support.
- Version history (optional future addition).
⚙️ Architecture Overview
Frontend (Next.js) ↓ API Routes (App Router / Server Actions) ↓ Better Auth Middleware (JWT & Sessions) ↓ Prisma ORM (Postgres @ Supabase) ↓ Redis Cache (Upstash) for live sync
🧩 Non-Functional Requirements
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Security | JWT-based sessions, secure cookies |
| Scalability | Redis caching, stateless API |
| Documentation | Fumadocs-powered internal docs |
| Code Quality | Husky pre-commit hooks, ESLint, Prettier |
| Deployment | Vercel (frontend + serverless API routes) |
🧠 Future Enhancements
- AI-powered task summarization (OpenAI API).
- Real-time team collaboration.
- Analytics dashboard.
- Custom Kanban templates.
