## 🏗️ Architecture

### Component Structure

```
components/personal-list/
├── sliding-panel.tsx           # Resizable panel layout
├── personal-list-editor.tsx    # Main editor component
├── personal-list-items.tsx     # Card preview display
└── push-to-list-button.tsx     # Action button component

lib/
└── personal-list-store.ts      # Zustand store with persistence
```

### Data Flow

```
User Action → Store → LocalStorage → UI Update
                ↓
          Markdown Generation
```

### State Management

**Zustand Store (`usePersonalListStore`)**

```typescript
interface PersonalListState {
  items: PersonalListItem[]           // Array of added items
  markdown: string                     // Generated markdown
  isEditorOpen: boolean               // Sliding panel state
  activeView: 'editor' | 'preview' | 'split'

  // Actions
  addItem: (item) => void
  removeItem: (id) => void
  updateItem: (id, updates) => void
  setMarkdown: (markdown) => void
  toggleEditor: () => void
  openEditor: () => void
  closeEditor: () => void
  setActiveView: (view) => void
  clearList: () => void
  importList: (items) => void
  exportList: () => PersonalListItem[]
  generateMarkdown: () => string
}
```

**Item Structure:**

```typescript
interface PersonalListItem {
  id: string                    // Auto-generated unique ID
  title: string                 // Display name
  description: string           // Short description
  url: string                   // Homepage URL
  repository?: string           // GitHub repo name
  addedAt: number              // Timestamp
  tags?: string[]              // Custom tags
  category?: string            // Organizational category
}
```

### Persistence

**LocalStorage Key:** `personal-awesome-list`

**What's Saved:**
- All items with metadata
- Current markdown content
- Editor open/closed state
- Active view preference (split/editor/preview)

**Version:** 1 (for future migration support)

### Markdown Generation

Automatic markdown generation from items:

```markdown
# My Awesome List

> A curated list of my favorite resources, tools, and projects.

## Contents

- [Category 1](#category-1)
- [Category 2](#category-2)

## Category 1

### [Item Title](https://example.com)

Item description goes here.

**Repository:** `owner/repo`

**Tags:** `tag1`, `tag2`, `tag3`

```

## 🎨 UX Design

### Sliding Panel Behavior

**Opening:**
- Click "My List" button in header
- Click "Push to my list" and then "View List" in toast
- Slides in from right with smooth animation
- Takes 30-70% of screen width (resizable)

**Resizing:**
- Drag the vertical handle to adjust width
- Min width: 30% of screen
- Max width: 70% of screen
- Smooth spring animation

**Closing:**
- Click X button in panel header
- Click "My List" button again in header
- Slides out to right with animation

### Visual Hierarchy

**Main Content Area:**
- Takes remaining space (100% width when closed, 30-70% when open)
- Maintains all functionality
- Keeps scroll position

**Panel:**
- Fixed position on right
- Full height
- Shadow and border for depth
- Blur backdrop on header

### Empty States

**No Items Yet:**
- Centered icon (folder)
- Friendly message
- Clear call-to-action
- Gradient text highlight

**Zero State in Editor:**
- Placeholder text in editor
- Helpful hints about slash commands
- Preview shows empty state

## 🚀 Usage Examples

### Adding an Item

```typescript
// From repository card
<PushToListButton
  title="React"
  description="A JavaScript library for building user interfaces"
  url="https://react.dev"
  repository="facebook/react"
  variant="outline"
  size="sm"
/>
```

### Accessing Store

```typescript
import { usePersonalListStore } from '@/lib/personal-list-store'

function MyComponent() {
  const { items, addItem, openEditor } = usePersonalListStore()

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{items.length} items in list</p>
      <button onClick={openEditor}>Open Editor</button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Exporting Data

```typescript
const { exportList, generateMarkdown } = usePersonalListStore()

// Export as JSON
const jsonData = exportList()
console.log(JSON.stringify(jsonData, null, 2))

// Export as Markdown
const markdown = generateMarkdown()
console.log(markdown)
```

## 📱 Responsive Design

**Desktop (≥768px):**
- Full sliding panel with resizable width
- Split view available
- All toolbar buttons visible

**Tablet (768px-1024px):**
- Sliding panel with smaller default width
- Split view with narrower editor
- Some labels hidden

**Mobile (<768px):**
- Full-screen modal instead of sliding panel
- Stack views (no split view)
- Compact toolbar with icons only
- Sheet component for mobile menu

## 🎯 Integration Points

### Header Navigation

```typescript
// components/layout/app-header.tsx
<Button asChild>
  <Link href="/my-list">
    <ListIcon className="h-4 w-4" />
    My List
    {items.length > 0 && (
      <Badge>{items.length}</Badge>
    )}
  </Link>
</Button>
```

### List Detail Pages

```typescript
// app/list/[id]/page.tsx
<SlidingPanel isOpen={isEditorOpen} onClose={closeEditor}>
  <SlidingPanelMain>
    {/* Main content with repositories */}
  </SlidingPanelMain>

  <SlidingPanelSide title="My Awesome List">
    <PersonalListEditor />
  </SlidingPanelSide>
</SlidingPanel>
```

### Standalone Page

```typescript
// app/my-list/page.tsx
<PersonalListEditor />
```
