# cquote TODO

## Core functionality (high priority)

- [ ] Implement proper CSV line reader for `random`, `search`, and `list`
  - Read one record at a time using `fgets`
  - Parse fields with correct unquoting (handle doubled quotes `""`)
  - Store quote, author, tags, and date in a struct

- [ ] Finish `quote_random()`
  - Count total quotes
  - Pick a random one (using `srand(time(NULL))`)
  - Print cleanly (quote on first line, author on second, tags on third)

- [ ] Implement `quote_search(const char *term)`
  - Case-insensitive substring match on quote, author, or tags
  - Print matching quotes with context

- [ ] Implement `quote_list()`
  - Optional `--tag` filter
  - Simple tabular output or one-per-line

- [ ] Improve `quote_add()`
  - Validate input (non-empty quote and author)
  - Normalize tags (lowercase, no duplicates)
  - Prevent duplicate quotes (optional)

## cnotes integration

- [ ] Create shell alias / wrapper examples
  ```bash
  alias cnquote='cquote random | cnadd -c Quote'
  ```
- [ ] Document in README how to pipe quotes into daily logs
- [ ] *Optional*: Add a cnotes sub-command like cnotes quote

## Future / nice-to-have

- [ ] `--pipe` flag for clean output (no extra newlines)
- [ ] Support multiple database files (-f filename)
- [ ] `delete` or `archive` command (append to `.arc` like cnotes)
- [ ] Integration with `proj`:

```Bash
proj c mytool --quote          # inserts random quote into README
proj c mytool --quote "focus"  # uses tagged quote
```

## Testing & polish

- [ ] Add basic test cases (manual or simple shell scripts)
- [ ] Improve error messages and usage text
- [ ] Ensure Windows/DOS compatibility (path handling, line endings)
- [ ] Update README with usage examples and cnotes integration

## Long-term ideas

- [ ] Quote-of-the-day daemon / cron suggestion
- [ ] Export to HTML or plain text
- [ ] Fuzzy search
