ThinkDesk AI

ThinkDesk AI is a productivity workspace for email triage, scheduling, tasks, and follow-ups.

Current Architecture

• Frontend: React, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui
• Auth and persistence: Appwrite Account, TablesDB, and Sites
• Gmail sync: Appwrite Google OAuth plus the gmail-api Appwrite Function
• Legacy local backend: kept in backend/ only as a reference for older experiments

Gmail Sync

ThinkDesk now syncs Gmail through Appwrite instead of the old localhost OAuth server.

1. The user signs in with Google through Appwrite Auth.
2. ThinkDesk finishes the Appwrite session after the OAuth redirect, including mobile browsers.
3. The gmail-api function uses the signed-in user's Appwrite Google identity to read or send Gmail.
4. Connected Gmail identities appear automatically in the inbox account switcher.

No gmail_tokens table or local Google client secret flow is required for the Appwrite path.

Environment

Client-side Vite config:

VITE_GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY=your-google-ai-api-key
VITE_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=https://sgp.cloud.appwrite.io/v1
VITE_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=your-appwrite-project-id
VITE_APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID=thinkdesk
VITE_APPWRITE_WORKSPACES_TABLE_ID=workspaces

Server-side Appwrite config used for provisioning or deployments:

APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=https://sgp.cloud.appwrite.io/v1
APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=your-appwrite-project-id
APPWRITE_API_KEY=your-appwrite-api-key
APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID=thinkdesk
APPWRITE_WORKSPACES_TABLE_ID=workspaces
FRONTEND_URL=https://your-thinkdesk-site.appwrite.network

Local Development

npm install
npm run build
npm run dev

When Appwrite is configured, the app uses Appwrite for auth, workspace sync, and Gmail sync in both local and deployed environments.
