Milestone: Boilerplate Development for PWA Application

Objective:
Establish a robust and scalable boilerplate for an open-source Progressive Web Application (PWA) utilizing Deno and Deno Fresh. The boilerplate will serve as a foundational template for developers, enabling rapid development and deployment across various platforms.

Key Features:

1. Modular Architecture:
   Design a modular project structure that separates concerns (e.g., API, frontend, services) to promote maintainability and scalability. Employ design patterns such as MVC or microservices, ensuring that components can be developed and deployed independently.

2. System Design:
   Define a clear system design that outlines interactions between various components (backend, frontend, databases, etc.). Consider using UML diagrams or architectural sketches to visualize the system's structure and data flow. This design should support extensibility and adaptability for future enhancements.

3. Deno Integration:
   Set up Deno as the primary runtime, ensuring compatibility with its ecosystem. Include essential Deno configurations and packages to facilitate development. Optimize for performance and security best practices in Deno.

4. Fresh Framework Setup:
   Integrate Deno Fresh for frontend development, including routing, data fetching, and server-side rendering capabilities. Ensure a seamless integration that leverages Fresh's capabilities for optimized PWA experiences.

5. PWA Features:
   Implement core PWA functionalities such as service workers, manifest files, and responsive design principles, ensuring a smooth installation process on various platforms. This includes offline capabilities, push notifications, and fast loading times.

6. Deployment Configuration:
   Provide instructions and scripts for deploying the boilerplate on various hosting platforms (e.g., Vercel, Netlify). Ensure that the deployment process is straightforward, allowing developers to focus on building their applications.

7. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):
   Integrate GitHub Actions for CI/CD workflows to automate testing and deployment. Set up pipelines for:

   • Automated Testing: Run unit and integration tests on every pull request to ensure code quality and prevent regressions.
   • Deployment Pipelines: Automatically deploy to staging and production environments upon successful merges to the main branch.

8. Documentation:
   Create comprehensive documentation outlining the setup process, key features, and usage examples. Include sections on system design decisions, architectural choices, and CI/CD setup, providing guidance for new contributors and users.

9. Community Engagement:
   Establish guidelines for contribution, including coding standards and commit message formats. Encourage community involvement through discussions and feedback loops, allowing the project to evolve based on user needs.

Success Criteria:

• The boilerplate is tested and confirmed to work seamlessly on multiple platforms (web, mobile, etc.).
• Documentation is complete and provides clear instructions for setup and usage.
• CI/CD pipelines are fully operational, ensuring automated testing and deployment.
• Community feedback is gathered and incorporated to improve the boilerplate.

Timeline:
Define a timeline for each task, setting specific completion dates to ensure steady progress toward the milestone’s objectives.

Outcomes:
Upon completion, the boilerplate will serve as a valuable resource for developers looking to create PWAs using Deno and Deno Fresh, fostering a collaborative open-source community.
