Getting started

Sign in with a magic link, meet the Workspace → Project → Thread hierarchy, and find your way around Threadwork.

What it does

Threadwork is where your team's tasks and the conversations about them live together. When you first sign in, a team is created for you automatically, pre-loaded with a ready-made workflow and the Priority and Status tag categories — so you can start working straight away.

Where to find it

Go to the sign-in page at /auth/sign-in. Once you're in, everything lives under /dashboard.

Step by step

Sign in

  1. Open /auth/sign-in.
  2. Enter your email and click Send magic link.
  3. Open the link from your inbox (in local development it's printed to the server console). You're signed in — no password needed.

Create your first workspace

  1. Click Workspaces in the top navigation.
  2. Click New workspace, give it a name, and choose its visibility.
  3. Open the workspace and click New project to add your first task list.

Add your first thread

  1. Open a project to see its board.
  2. Click New thread, give it a title, set an assignee and priority, and create it.
  3. Open the thread to discuss it, log time, and move it through your workflow.

What each screen shows

  • Top bar — your logo, the main navigation (Workspaces, My Work, Updates, Time, People), the notification bell, a theme toggle and your account menu.
  • Two counters — My Work shows the number of open tasks assigned to you; Updates shows unread notifications. These are deliberately separate so tasks never get lost.
  • Dashboard home — a welcome view with your tasks, recent workspaces and recent updates.

Tips

  • Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K), or click Search… in the top bar, to jump to any workspace, project or

thread instantly — search threads by title or by ref (e.g. PLAT-12).

  • Tap the ☆ star on a workspace, project or thread to add it to your Favourites — then reach it

from the star menu in the top bar from anywhere.

  • Switch between light and dark mode with the sun/moon button in the top bar.
  • The ? icon on each page links to the guide for that section.

Troubleshooting

  • No magic-link email? In development, emails are logged to the server console rather than sent. Check the terminal running npm run dev.
