# Circle Collaboration System
A modern, circle-based collaboration platform built with Rust and egui.
## Overview
Circle is a desktop application that provides a modular collaboration system organized around "Circles" - dedicated spaces for different contexts of work and communication. Each Circle contains a consistent set of collaboration features, allowing users to seamlessly switch between different work contexts while maintaining a familiar interface.
## Features
- **Circle Management**: Create and manage different types of circles (Personal, Team, Private)
- **Mail**: Send and receive messages within circles
- **Calendar**: Schedule and manage events
- **Chat**: Real-time messaging
- **Documents**: Create and collaborate on documents
- **AI Tools**: AI-powered assistance
- **Video Conferencing**: Real-time video communication
## Architecture
The application follows a modular architecture:
- **Core Components**: Application layer, Circle Manager, and Circle Structure
- **UI/UX**: Consistent layout across features with a Circle Selector and Feature Navigation
- **Data Model**: Structured representation of Circles, Members, and Features
- **Services**: Backend services for Circle management, authentication, and feature-specific operations
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Rust and Cargo (latest stable version)
### Building from Source
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/threefoldtech/circles.git
cd circle
```
2. Build the project:
```
cargo build --release
```
3. Run the application:
```
cargo run --release
```
## Usage
Upon launching the application, you'll be presented with a default user and several demo circles. You can:
1. Select a circle from the Circle Selector panel
2. Navigate between features using the feature tabs
3. Create new circles using the Circle Selector
4. Customize circle settings
## Dependencies
- **egui/eframe**: GUI framework for Rust
- **uuid**: For unique identifiers
- **chrono**: Date and time handling
- **serde/serde_json**: Serialization and deserialization
- **log/env_logger**: Logging
## Development Status
This project is currently in early development. Many features are implemented as UI mockups with dummy data.
## Future Plans
- Cloud synchronization
- End-to-end encryption
- Real-time collaboration
- Mobile support via WebAssembly
