## Phase Research: Setup & Foundation

### Standard Stack
- React.js for component-based UI development
- Tailwind CSS for styling and responsive design
- LocalStorage API for data persistence
- HTML5 Drag and Drop API for task reorganization

### Architecture Patterns
- Component-based architecture with reusable calendar components
- State management for tasks and calendar navigation
- Modular design allowing for future phase extensions

### Don't Hand-Roll
- Do not implement custom calendar rendering logic - use proven libraries
- Do not create custom drag and drop implementation - use established APIs
- Do not build custom data persistence layer - leverage localStorage

### Common Pitfalls
- Forgetting to handle edge cases in date calculations
- Improper state management leading to UI inconsistencies
- Not accounting for time zones in date handling
- Overcomplicating the UI too early in development

### Code Examples
- Basic React component structure for calendar views
- localStorage usage patterns for task persistence
- Event delegation for handling drag and drop operations
