Solo lawyer,
small firm.
One panel, zero bloat.

modules

• Clients TR national ID, tax number, contacts, and the case list bound to each client.
• Cases Case type, court, file number, parties, status, and an event calendar.
• Events Hearings, meetings, notifications — calendar + reminder flow.
• Documents Local disk storage (`storage/<firm_id>/<id>_<name>`); Bearer token on download.
• Invoicing Line items, VAT, payment tracking, PDF generation.
• Auth Argon2 + sessions table — simple, no external IdP required.

architecture

1. 1
   Frontend React 18 + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind 4 + @tanstack/react-query — single-page app.
2. 2
   Backend Rust 2021 + Axum 0.7 + sqlx + Tokio — single static binary, runs as a system service.
3. 3
   Data SQLite (file-based, WAL). First run applies migrations and seeds demo data.
4. 4
   Documents Local disk, multi-firm isolation — each firm sees only its own storage prefix.

design

• Self-hosted For privacy and attorney–client confidentiality, runs on-prem or on your own VPS.
• Single static binary Cargo release build → one file. No runtime deps, drop into systemd.
• Multi-firm One backend, many firm_id rows — each firm sees only its own clients and documents.
• Modern UI Tailwind 4 + radix/shadcn-style components — desktop ergonomic, keyboard-first.
• Demo seed First run plants a sample firm, users, clients, cases, invoices — no empty state.
• Audit log Auth sessions and critical tables track who-changed-what-when in a log table.
