Aidderall Visual Representation
================================
1. Basic Structure - Tasks grow vertically, subtasks grow horizontally:
┌─────────────────┐
│ MainTask C │ ← Latest main task
│ [PENDING] │
└─────────────────┘
↑
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ MainTask B │ ──→ │ SubTask B.1 │ ──→ │ SubTask B.2 │
│ [COMPLETED] │ │ [COMPLETED] │ │ [CURRENT] ← │ ← YOU ARE HERE
└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
↑
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ MainTask A │ ─→ │ SubTask A.1 │
│ [COMPLETED] │ │ [COMPLETED] │
└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
2. Living Document - Completed tasks remain visible:
Before (traditional todo): After (Aidderall):
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ ☐ Task A │ │ ✓ Task A │ ← Still visible!
│ ☐ Task B │ │ ✓ Task B │ ← Context preserved
│ ☐ Task C │ │ ☐ Task C │
└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
Traditional: Completed = Gone Aidderall: Completed = History
3. Flexible Navigation with switch_focus:
┌─────────────────┐
│ Task D │
│ [PENDING] │ ←────────────┐
└─────────────────┘ │
↑ │ Can jump to any task!
┌─────────────────┐ │
│ Task C │ │
│ [CURRENT] ← │ ←──────┐ │
└─────────────────┘ │ │
↑ │ │
┌─────────────────┐ │ │
│ Task B │ ←──────┘ │
│ [COMPLETED] │ │
└─────────────────┘ │
↑ │
┌─────────────────┐ │
│ Task A │ ←────────────┘
│ [COMPLETED] │
└─────────────────┘
4. Real-world Example - Implementing a Feature:
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Add User Auth │
│ [COMPLETED] │
└─────────────────────┘
↑
│ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐
└───→ │ Design DB Schema │ ──→ │ Create API │ ──→ │ Add UI Forms │
│ [COMPLETED] │ │ [COMPLETED] │ │ [CURRENT] ← │
└──────────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ └──────────────────┘
↑
│ ┌──────────────────┐
└───→ │ Add JWT logic │
│ [COMPLETED] │
└──────────────────┘
5. Value Propositions Visualized:
Traditional Linear Todo: Aidderall Hierarchical:
======================== =========================
☐ Research auth libraries Research Phase
☐ Design database schema │
☐ Create user table ├─→ Auth libraries
☐ Create session table │ └─→ JWT vs Sessions
☐ Implement JWT │
☐ Create login endpoint Design Phase
☐ Create register endpoint │
☐ Add password hashing ├─→ Database Schema
☐ Create login form │ ├─→ User table
☐ Create register form │ └─→ Session table
☐ Add form validation │
Implementation Phase
Problems: │
- No hierarchy ├─→ Backend API
- No context │ ├─→ Login endpoint
- Hard to see relationships │ ├─→ Register endpoint
- Completed = disappeared │ └─→ Password hashing
│
└─→ Frontend UI
├─→ Login form
├─→ Register form
└─→ Validation
Benefits:
✓ Clear hierarchy
✓ Preserved context
✓ Visible relationships
✓ Complete history
6. Zen State - Two Paths:
Path 1: No tasks Path 2: All completed
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ │ │ ✓ Task A │
│ Empty Stack │ │ ✓ Task B │
│ (Zen State) │ │ ✓ Task C │
│ │ │ (Zen State) │
└─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
