Do not mistake the interface for the product. Indy's durable value is banking, compliance, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build a detailed, self-hosted clone inspired by Indy focusing on its core freelance business tools capabilities. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, and Drizzle ORM. **DATA MODEL & SCHEMA SPECIFICS** Implement the following core entities in SQLite with Drizzle ORM: - `clients`: `id`, `name`, `email`, `company`, `created_at`. - `projects`: `id`, `client_id`, `name`, `status` (active, completed), `budget`. - `invoices`: `id`, `project_id`, `issue_date`, `due_date`, `status` (draft, sent, paid), `total_amount`. - `tasks`: `id`, `project_id`, `title`, `description`, `status` (todo, in_progress, done). - `time_entries`: `id`, `task_id`, `duration_minutes`, `date`. Ensure all relations have cascading deletes where appropriate. Use foreign key constraints. **SCREENS & UX PATTERNS** 1. **Dashboard (`/dashboard`)**: A masonry layout with quick stats cards (Outstanding Invoices, Active Projects, Hours Tracked this week). 2. **Client/Project CRM (`/clients`)**: A data table with column sorting, pagination, and expandable rows to view associated projects and invoices. 3. **Invoice Builder (`/invoices/new`)**: A WYSIWYG form layout resembling the final invoice document, allowing users to add line items, adjust taxes, and set discounts dynamically. 4. **Task Kanban & Timer (`/tasks`)**: A drag-and-drop Kanban board for project tasks, featuring a persistent global floating widget for starting/stopping a time tracker. **STEP-BY-STEP USER JOURNEYS** - **Journey 1 (Onboarding)**: User logs in, adds their first Client via a modal, and creates a new Project. - **Journey 2 (Work Tracking)**: User navigates to the Kanban board, moves a task to "In Progress", and starts the global timer widget. Later, they stop the timer, automatically logging a `time_entry`. - **Journey 3 (Billing)**: User generates an invoice from the project. The app automatically pulls in billable time entries as line items. The user reviews the totals and marks it as 'sent'. - **Journey 4 (Reporting)**: User visits the Reports tab to view a generated income summary, exporting it as a CSV. **TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & PROTOCOLS** - Use Server Actions for all form submissions and data mutations. - Implement optimistic UI updates using React's `useOptimistic` hook, especially for Kanban drag-and-drop. - For data fetching, use React Suspense boundaries with fallback skeleton loaders. - Invoice generation: Use a library like `jspdf` or `react-pdf` to generate downloadable PDF files directly from the invoice data. - Data import: Allow users to upload CSV files to bulk-import clients and historical invoices. Start from an empty folder, create the complete project, and ensure the default mode is single-user and private. Do not add analytics or telemetry. Put all secrets in `.env`. Validate untrusted input with Zod. Write unit tests for the core logic and one end-to-end smoke test using Playwright. Run the tests and build before finishing.
