Task Management

Based represents work with three primitives: entities (the data — tasks, projects), pages (places to put content and data views), and views (different ways to see the same entity collection — Table, Board, Calendar, Gantt).

A single Task can appear on a board grouped by status, on a calendar by target date, and on a gantt chart by start/end — it is always the same record underneath.

Linear is opinionated about workflow. Notion is opinionated about pages. Based is opinionated about data portability: every entity lives as JSON in a bucket you control, and the views are just one consumer of that data.

That means you can start with the Project Management template, delete everything you don't like, and keep adding fields as your process evolves. The data stays yours.

When you create a base and pick Project Management, Based provisions:

• Initiatives — goal-oriented pushes with a target date
• Workstreams — perpetual areas of work
• Cycles — time-boxed sprints
• Tasks — the actual units of work

• Views — Table, Board, Calendar, Gantt
• Subtasks & Subprojects
• Task timing (targetDate, startDate, endDate)
