## Introduction
Donetick is a self-hosted chore and task management app designed for households, roommates, and small teams. It focuses on recurring tasks with flexible scheduling, assignment rotation, and a clean interface that works on both desktop and mobile.

## What Donetick Does
- Creates one-time and recurring tasks with flexible scheduling options
- Assigns tasks to users with automatic rotation for shared chores
- Tracks completion history and streaks for each task
- Sends notifications and reminders when tasks are due
- Provides a responsive web interface optimized for mobile use

## Architecture Overview
Donetick is a Go backend with a React frontend. The API server handles task scheduling, user management, and notification dispatch. Data is stored in SQLite for simple deployments. The frontend is a single-page application that communicates via REST API. Push notifications can be delivered via Pushover or ntfy integration.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Deploy via Docker with a single container that bundles backend and frontend
- Mount a volume for `/data` to persist the SQLite database
- Configure notification providers (Pushover, ntfy) via environment variables
- Set up user accounts through the web interface after first launch
- Place behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS for remote access

## Key Features
- Flexible recurring schedules: daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals
- Assignee rotation automatically distributes chores among group members
- Completion tracking with streaks and history per task
- Due date notifications via Pushover, ntfy, or Telegram integration
- Minimal resource usage; runs comfortably on a Raspberry Pi
