Personal Introduction:
I am Nileshkumar Yadav, a 4th-year Computer Engineering undergrad at Shree LR
Tiwari College of Engineering, Mumbai, India. My interest lies in exploring new
technology and diving deep into it. I like to learn new things, and I am not afraid of
trying something new. I am always ready to learn and build whatever comes my
way.
I started coding in the 2nd year of my college and explored various technologies. I
found data structures and algorithms very interesting, along with databases. I came
across open-source contributions in my 3rd year and thought of giving it a try.
However, due to a lack of knowledge, I was not able to make much of an impact,
so I put it on hold to get more familiar with it.

I like open-source contributions because they allow me to work on large projects

that people use, solving real-world problems. This thought excites me about
contributing to open source. Over the past few months, I have tried my best to do
so.
Why This Project Matters:

To Me:​
Open-source development excites me because it offers the opportunity to
contribute to real-world solutions. Being part of Google Summer of Code (GSoC)
is a long-held aspiration, and I’m committed to giving my best to complete this
project successfully. While I haven’t had the chance to work on a large-scale
practical project before, I’m now ready to dedicate myself entirely to this
challenge, learn from it, and grow as a developer.

To the Organization:​
This project will provide users with an efficient and cost-free task management
solution. By ensuring seamless task synchronization across devices and platforms,
it will significantly enhance productivity for individual users and teams.
Additionally, a well-structured web UI and robust API will simplify task
management and offer a flexible alternative to paid task management tools. With
improved performance, security, and mobile integration, CCSync will become a
reliable choice for the open-source community and beyond.

Introduction of Project:
CCSync is a web UI and API solution designed to facilitate the retrieval and
synchronization of tasks from a taskchampion-sync-server container. It provides a
seamless experience for managing tasks across all Taskwarrior 3.0 (and higher)
clients, whether using the Taskwarrior CLI, the web frontend, or the Taskwarrior
Flutter app.

Existing Architecture of the project:

CCSync comprises three main components:

1.Backend: The main server-side component that interfaces with

Taskwarrior clients, performs operations, and provides a RESTful API.
 2.Web Frontend: A user-friendly web interface built for task management,
and credentials retrieval.

3.Taskwarrior Flutter App: The mobile app that allows users to manage
tasks on the go, fully integrated with the CCSync API.

Problem Statement:
Task management tools are critical for productivity, but existing open-source
solutions often lack seamless synchronization across platforms (CLI, web, mobile)
and self-hosting flexibility, limiting their adoption by users and teams. CCSync,
built on TaskWarrior’s ecosystem, aims to solve these challenges. However, the
current implementation faces critical gaps that hinder its production readiness:

1. Scalable Authentication & Security

Problem:

The existing session-based authentication is stateful, leading to

scalability issues in distributed environments.

API endpoints lack rate limiting and token refresh mechanisms,

exposing the system to abuse and security risks.
 · Impact:

Users face session loss during server restarts, and manual API
management complicates integration with third-party tools.

2. Unreliable Cross-Platform Synchronization

Problem:

Sync failures and conflicts (e.g., simultaneous edits on mobile and

CLI) disrupt workflows.

The mobile app lacks real-time updates and offline sync support,
reducing usability.

Impact:

Users manually resolve task conflicts, leading to frustration and data

inconsistency across devices.

3. Limited Self-Hosting & Performance

Problem:

Firebase dependency restricts self-hosting flexibility, forcing users

into vendor lock-in.

The backend struggles with large datasets (e.g., 100k+ tasks), causing
slow sync times and timeouts.

Impact:

Organizations cannot deploy CCSync privately, and power users

experience degraded performance.

4. Underdeveloped Web UI & Documentation

Problem:
 The Web UI lacks advanced features like bulk editing and task
prioritization, limiting adoption.

Poor documentation hinders user onboarding and developer

contributions.

Impact:

Users resort to CLI for complex operations, and developers struggle to

extend CCSync’s functionality.

5. Manual Testing & Deployment

Problem:

No automated testing leads to regression bugs and slows development.

Deployment relies on manual Docker configurations, increasing setup

complexity.

Impact:

Critical bugs reach production, and non-technical users struggle to

self-host CCSync.

Areas of Improvement:
The primary goal is to finalize CCSync for production by implementing
essential features, including:

●​ Authentication System: Enhance the existing secure authentication

mechanism for user access.

●​ Secure API Layer: Ensure safe and reliable communication through

API enhancements.

●​ Self-Hosting Support: Enable users to host CCSync on their own

servers with ease.
 ●​ Data Synchronization Across Devices: Improve the reliability and
accuracy of task synchronization across all connected devices using
the Taskchampion Sync Server.

●​ Integration with TaskWarrior Mobile App: Strengthen the connection

between CCSync and the TaskWarrior Flutter app for a seamless
mobile experience.

●​ Enhancing the Web UI: Refine the web interface for better usability
and user experience, leveraging IndexedDB for offline support.

While significant progress was made last year, there is still room for
improvement in terms of performance, architecture, and scalability. This year,
the focus will be to:

●​ Optimize the API Architecture to ensure maintainability and

performance with synchronous operations.

●​ Develop a Production-Ready Web UI with a polished, user-friendly

interface and offline support via IndexedDB.

●​ Enhance Sync Stability for consistent and error-free task updates

across devices using the Taskchampion Sync Server.

●​ Improve Server Performance by optimizing resource usage and

increasing reliability.

●​ Ensure Seamless Mobile Integration by refining the connection with

the TaskWarrior Flutter app.

Proposed Deliverables:
1.Authentication System (High Priority)

Enhance the existing Google OAuth-based authentication.

JWT tokens for secure API access, with improvements in token

management.
2.Session Management

Provide API Key and Sync Token generation for TaskWarrior clients
to authenticate with the Taskchampion Sync Server.

Implement token refresh, session expiration, and rate limiting (already

partially implemented with RateLimitMiddleware).

3.Data Models and Syncing

Refine the existing data models for Tasks, Projects, and Tags
(models/task.go).

Enable bi-directional data sync between the Taskchampion Sync

Server and TaskWarrior clients, leveraging the existing utils/tw
package.

4.TaskWarrior Mobile App Integration (High Priority)

Ensure seamless task syncing between the Taskchampion Sync Server

and the TaskWarrior Flutter app.

Implement background sync for offline tasks in the Flutter app, with
support for syncing when the app comes online.

full sync flow.

Purpose:
My primary focus is to make TaskServer production-ready — ensuring that users
can self-host it, use it as a public service, and integrate it smoothly with the
existing TaskWarrior mobile app.

I also want to significantly improve performance, efficiency, and usability based on

the learnings from last year.

Implementation Detail:
The system architecture is modified as our goal is to make system cost effective
because some users will have 100k tasks in their system so it should handle it
efficiently:

Updated System Architecture:

Flow of Interactions
The arrows between components represent the flow of data and interactions:

1.​ React Frontend (CCSync) ↔ CCSync Backend (Go)

○​ Description: The frontend communicates with the backend via HTTP

requests:

■​ Authentication: /auth/oauth, /auth/callback, /api/user,

/auth/logout for Auth login and user info.

■​ The OAuth flow uses Google’s OAuth2 endpoint (not

shown in the diagram, as it’s an external service).

■​ After login, the backend returns a JWT token containing

user info (email, encryptionSecret, uuid).

■​ Task Operations: /add-task, /edit-task, /modify-task,

/complete-task, /delete-task to perform task operations
synchronously.

■​ Requests include a JWT token in the Authorization

header.
 ■​ Responses include taskUUID (for /add-task) or success
messages (e.g., "Task edited successfully. Click Sync to
view the changes.").

■​ Sync: /sync to fetch the full list of tasks from TaskWarrior when
the user clicks "Sync."

○​ Subflow (within Frontend):

■​ React Frontend → IndexedDB: On /sync, the fetched tasks are

stored in IndexedDB.

■​ IndexedDB → React Frontend: On page load or after /sync,

tasks are retrieved from IndexedDB to update the UI.

2.​ CCSync Backend (Go) ↔ Taskchampion Sync Server

○​ Description: The backend uses the utils/tw package to interact with

TaskWarrior:

■​ Sets up TaskWarrior config (SetTaskwarriorConfig).

■​ Performs task operations (AddTaskToTaskwarrior,

EditTaskInTaskwarrior, etc.).

■​ Syncs tasks (SyncTaskwarrior).

■​ Fetches tasks (FetchTasksFromTaskwarrior for /sync).

3.​ TaskWarrior Flutter App ↔ Taskchampion Sync Server

○​ Description: The Flutter app syncs tasks with the Taskchampion Sync
Server independently.

4.​ TaskWarrior Flutter App ↔ SQLite Database

○​ Description: The Flutter app uses SQLite for local task storage.
Self-Hosting Capability (Public & Private Hosting)

Implementation Plan
Docker-Based Deployment:

Overview: The project already includes a Dockerfile for the CCSync backend. To
simplify deployment, we will enhance this by adding a Docker Compose setup for
a one-click deployment that includes both the CCSync backend and the
Taskchampion Sync Server. No external database is required, as task management
is handled by the Taskchampion Sync Server.

Goal: Enable users to run the entire CCSync system (backend and sync
server) with minimal effort.

Implementation Steps:

1.Create a docker-compose.yml File:

●​ Define two services: ccsync-backend for the CCSync backend and

taskchampion-sync-server for the Taskchampion Sync Server.

●​ Use environment variables to configure OAuth credentials, JWT secrets, and

sync server settings.

●​ Expose ports for both services (e.g., 8000 for the backend, 8080 for the sync
server).

●​ Include a volume to persist Taskchampion Sync Server data.

2.Here’s an example

Docker-compose.yml:
version: '3.8'

services:

ccsync-backend:

build: .
 env_file: .env

ports:

- "8000:8000"

depends_on:

- taskchampion-sync-server

taskchampion-sync-server:

image: taskchampion/sync-server:latest # Official Taskchampion Sync Server

image

restart: always

ports:

- "8080:8080"

environment:

- SYNC_SERVER_PORT=8080

- SYNC_SERVER_DATA_DIR=/data

volumes:

- sync-data:/data

volumes:

sync-data:

3.Update Documentation:

Provide clear instructions for users to start the services:

· docker-compose up -d

Include guidance on creating and configuring a .env file (see Configuration

Management below).

Public Hosting Support for CCExtractor:

Overview: CCExtractor can host a public instance of CCSync on a cloud server
(e.g., AWS, DigitalOcean) using the same Docker Compose setup, with additional
configurations for security and accessibility.

Goal: Enable a scalable, secure public deployment with minimal setup complexity.

Implementation Steps:

1.​ Use .env for Configuration:

a.​ Store sensitive information like OAuth credentials, JWT secrets, and
sync server settings in a .env file.

b.​ Example .env:

CLIENT_ID=your_google_oauth_client_id

CLIENT_SEC=your_google_oauth_client_secret

REDIRECT_URL_DEV=http://localhost:8000/auth/callback

JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret

CONTAINER_ORIGIN=http://taskchampion-sync-server:8080

FRONTEND_ORIGIN_DEV=http://localhost:5172

2.​ Add a Reverse Proxy for HTTPS:

Use a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx) to handle HTTPS traffic for the public
instance.

Sample Nginx configuration (to be included in documentation):

server {

listen 443 ssl;

server_name yourdomain.com;

ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;

ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;

location / {
 proxy_pass http://ccsync-backend:8000;

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

3.​ Provide Deployment Scripts:

●​ Create shell scripts or Ansible playbooks to automate deployment on cloud
servers. Example tasks:
Pull the latest code from the repository.
Build Docker images.
Start services with docker-compose up -d.

●​ Sample shell script:

#!/bin/bash

git pull origin main

docker-compose build

docker-compose up -d

Configuration Management:
●​ Overview: Allow users to customize their CCSync setup without modifying
the source code by using environment variables.
●​ Goal: Ensure flexibility and ease of configuration for different hosting
scenarios.

Implementation Steps:
1.​ Update config.go to Read from Environment Variables:

Modify the backend configuration file (e.g., config.go) to load settings

dynamically from environment variables.

Example in Go:
 package config

import "os"

var (

FrontendOrigin = os.Getenv("FRONTEND_ORIGIN_DEV")

ClientID = os.Getenv("CLIENT_ID")

ClientSecret = os.Getenv("CLIENT_SEC")

RedirectURL = os.Getenv("REDIRECT_URL_DEV")

JWTSecret = os.Getenv("JWT_SECRET")

ContainerOrigin = os.Getenv("CONTAINER_ORIGIN")

2.​ Document Environment Variables:

●​ Provide a comprehensive list in the documentation, including:

○​ Required: CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SEC, JWT_SECRET,

CONTAINER_ORIGIN

○​ Optional: FRONTEND_ORIGIN_DEV (default:

http://localhost:5172), REDIRECT_URL_DEV (default:
http://localhost:8000/auth/callback)

○​ Include descriptions and examples for each.

Implementation of GUI:
I have a strong grasp of GUI development, so I am not overly concerned about it.
Additionally, there are not many GUI-related tasks in this project. My primary
focus is on working intensively on the backend to make it robust and
production-ready.

Current GUI Task:

🔹Implement a Bulk task editing, filtering, and sorting.

🔹 Data Export/Import options.
🔹 Ability to close accounts or reset data.
While the frontend work is minimal, ensuring seamless integration with the
backend authentication system (JWT-based login, session management, etc.) is a
priority

Also, there are here and some error in Gui which I will mend as I progresses in the
project and I found them while using it

Documentation Plan:
Clear and well-structured documentation is essential for CCSync to be easily
understandable and maintainable. As part of my implementation, I will focus on
writing detailed documentation that covers the following key areas:

●​ API Endpoints: I will document all available API endpoints, including

request and response formats, authentication methods, and practical usage
examples. This will help developers integrate with the system efficiently.
●​ Deployment Setup (Docker/Self-hosted): Since Docker is already part of
the project, I will refine and expand the documentation to include
step-by-step instructions on setting up CCSync in a self-hosted environment,
along with details on environment variables and configuration options.
●​ Web UI Usage: I will provide a straightforward guide on how users can
navigate and utilize the web interface, covering login, task management, and
synchronization with Taskwarrior.
●​ Mobile App Integration Guide: Since Taskwarrior can be used on mobile
devices, I will document how to integrate CCSync with mobile clients,
ensuring smooth task synchronization.

To make onboarding easier, I will also create a "Getting Started" guide that
provides a quick overview of installation, setup, and basic usage. This will help
both developers and end-users get up to speed with CCSync efficiently.
Features to implement if project is completed before
GSoC time period:
If I complete the core tasks ahead of the GSoC timeline, I will focus on
implementing additional features to enhance the functionality of CCSync. These
may include:

●​ RSS Feeds for Upcoming Tasks: Implementing an RSS feed system that
allows users to subscribe to their upcoming tasks and receive updates in their
preferred feed reader.
●​ Push Notifications for Task Reminders: Adding support for push
notifications to alert users about upcoming or overdue tasks, improving task
management efficiency.
●​ Task Archive and History Functionality: Providing a way to archive
completed tasks and maintain a detailed history, allowing users to track
progress and revisit past tasks when needed.

These features will further enhance the usability of CCSync, making it more
user-friendly and efficient for task management.

About My Qualification for GSoC and CCExtractor:

This is my first time applying for GSoC, and I meet all the eligibility criteria for
participation. I am highly motivated to contribute and gain experience through this
program.

For CCExtractor’s qualification, I have successfully completed two qualification

tasks:

1.​ MyFitnessPal Data Visualization with Grafana

a.​ This project provides a simple web application that allows users to
upload MyFitnessPal CSV exports and visualize the data using
Grafana. Since manually analyzing CSV files can be tedious, this
project automates the process by integrating with Grafana for clear
and interactive visualizations.
b.​ Task Link: MyFitnessPal Project
 2.​ Rust: Fixing the Build System on GitHub
a.​ The CCExtractor build system was failing due to a bug in the FFmpeg
crate used for Rust. After analyzing the issue, I determined that the
problem was related to package dependencies. I worked on identifying
and resolving the issue, ensuring that the build system now functions
correctly.
b.​ Fixed Issue: FFmpeg Build Error for ffmpeg-sys-next in Rust #101

Availability:
As I am on my last semester of computer engineering which will be completed on
may I will be devoting my full time to this project and I do not have any other
summer internship

or Job, I reviewed the whole GSOC timeline and I would be able to devote approx.
40-50 hours every week to GSOC. If the project demands me to work overtime, I
am more than happy to work as my main goal is to complete this project.​
I will be reporting my work to my mentor on a daily basis. I would strive to be

regular, and sincere with my scrum and daily updates as I understand that selection
in this project will require a serious commitment and 100% devotion from my side.

Why CCExtractor?
When I first started my open-source journey and began exploring GSoC,
CCExtractor was the first organization I came across. Out of curiosity, I started
looking into its projects and decided to solve a few issues. What began as a simple
exploration soon turned into something meaningful—I found myself deeply
engaged with the organization and its work.

CCExtractor, by coincidence, became the place where I took my first steps in open
source, and that connection has only grown stronger. The welcoming community,
the challenging yet exciting tasks, and the opportunity to contribute to real-world
projects have motivated me to continue working with CCExtractor. Now, as I apply
for GSoC, choosing CCExtractor feels less like a decision and more like a natural
continuation of my journey. I am eager to deepen my contributions and be part of
its growth while improving my own skills along the way.

Other GSoC Organization:

I have not applied to any other organization except CCExtractor. This is also my
first GSoC.

Being part of GSoC would be an exciting opportunity to take my contributions to

the next level, work alongside experienced mentors, and make a meaningful impact
on the project. I am eager to apply my skills, continue learning, and contribute to
CCExtractor in a way that benefits both the organization and the open-source
community.

Thank you for considering my proposal. I look forward to the opportunity to

contribute and grow through this experience.
