🎯 What's Left to Do

Immediate Next Steps

  1. Update Remaining Components (Optional)

    • src/frontend/components/Call/ - Video call UI
    • src/frontend/components/Premium/ - Premium features UI
    • src/frontend/components/Overlay/ - Overlay components
    • src/frontend/components/DomainVerification.css - Domain verification UI

  2. Mobile App Testing

    • Install dependencies properly (workspace issue to resolve)
    • Test on iOS Simulator: cd packages/mobile && npm run ios
    • Test on Android: cd packages/mobile && npm run android
    • Note: Requires Xcode (Mac) or Android Studio

  3. Production Deployment

    • Deploy Astro site to Vercel/Netlify/Cloudflare
    • Set up CI/CD pipeline
    • Configure environment variables

Future Enhancements

  • Animated transitions between screens
  • Dark mode toggle (currently always dark)
  • Mobile app native modules setup
  • Desktop Electron app
  • PWA configuration for web app
  • Performance optimization
  • Accessibility improvements (WCAG compliance)

🔧 Technical Details

Tech Stack

Frontend:

  • React 18.2.0 (Web)
  • React Native 0.73.2 (Mobile)
  • Astro 4.16.19 (Landing)
  • Vite 5.0.8 (Build tool)
  • Tailwind CSS 3.x

Backend:

  • Node.js + Express
  • Socket.io (Real-time)
  • PostgreSQL + Supabase
  • WebRTC (Calls)
  • Stripe (Payments)

Design:

  • Glassmorphism UI
  • Dark OLED theme
  • Cyan/Green accent colors
  • Custom design tokens

Key Patterns

  • Monorepo: Workspaces for shared code
  • Real-time: Socket.io for messaging
  • State: Redux Toolkit (@aethex/core)
  • Styling: CSS Modules + Design tokens
  • Navigation: React Navigation (mobile), React Router (web)

🚨 Known Issues

Mobile Package Dependencies

# Current Error:
npm error Unsupported URL Type "workspace:": workspace:*

Solution: The mobile package uses workspace dependencies. Need to:

  1. Build @aethex/core package first: cd packages/core && npm run build
  2. Or install mobile deps from root: npm install (at workspace root)

Dev Server Cache

If styles don't update, hard refresh:

  • Chrome/Edge: Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R
  • Firefox: Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R
