Build Workelo
KINDAback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- Node 20 and a place to run it (a small VPS or a container)
- SMTP credentials for reminder emails, or nothing if you accept an in-app inbox only
- Someone willing to keep the templates current, which is the actual work
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Workelo. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- HRIS and ATS connectors, so employee records get typed in by hand
- Automatic account and access provisioning in Google Workspace, Slack, and IT tools, plus the deprovisioning checklist on exit
- E-signature and document collection flows that a legal team will accept
- The polished employee-facing portal and email design that makes day one feel intentional rather than homemade
- Reporting, audit logs, and the GDPR paperwork story your HR lead will ask about
