Capture plaintext (Brain Dump) #234

Description

@nelsonic

The basic "workflow" of the @dwyl app will be:

  1. Capture the idea/thought
  2. Categorise the information
  3. Create / Complete the task

The first step in our app is to help the person capture everything on their mind.
We call this step/feature the "brain dump". The purpose is to empty your working memory so that you're not thinking about too many things and can focus on the one most important thing. "Free your mind" ...

free your mind matrix

If you haven't seen The Matrix this reference will be lost ... Seriously, watch it!

Todo / Acceptance Criteria

  • A textarea for free text input
    • Informative / action-inducing placeholder text
      (tbd ... for now "write down everything that is on your mind" ... we will A/B test this later!)
    • Automatically expands to use the available space on mobile device
  • Text is saved to Phoenix backend and stored in text field in Postgres

For now this is "enough" to get started.
We don't need anything fancy it just needs to work.
Once we get the Capture stage nailed we can move on to the rest of the workflow:

Note: we are working on inputting text first.
Once text is working, we will add Image support. see: dwyl/imgup#46
