# Project Tracker
A self-hosted project tracking web app. Dark-themed, minimal, fast.
**Live:** https://projects.ledrew.me
---
## Stack
- **Backend:** Node.js + Express + better-sqlite3
- **Frontend:** Vanilla JS + CSS (no framework, no build step)
- **Web Server:** nginx (reverse proxy + static files)
- **Database:** SQLite (single file, no server process)
---
## Features
- List all projects with priority badges
- Filter by status: All / Active / Backlog / On Hold / Completed
- Drill-down detail panel — click any project to view/edit
- Create new projects via modal form
- Fields: Name, Priority, URL, Notes, Status, Owner, Tags
- Fully responsive sidebar layout
- Dark GitHub-inspired theme

## Notes
- API runs on port 3000, nginx proxies `/api/` and serves static files on port 80
- Database file: `/opt/project-tracker/data/projects.db`
- No authentication on the API — intended for internal use behind a reverse proxy
- CORS is open for development; restrict in production if needed
