Transform the Link Visualizer from a session-based tool to a fully authenticated application with proper user management, leveraging the existing FlowProof user base through Supabase Auth integration. Includes implementation of an interactive demo page with simulated link visualization functionality.
Currently, the Link Visualizer uses cookie-based session management which limits functionality and user experience. The dashboard, which is the core power of the application, is buried and difficult to access. Users need proper authentication to fully utilize the tool's capabilities.
- Implement proper user authentication using existing FlowProof user base
- Make the dashboard the primary interface for authenticated users
- Improve navigation and user flow throughout the application
- Enhance email management with better metadata display
- Create interactive demo page with simulated link visualization functionality
- Users can seamlessly authenticate using FlowProof credentials
- Dashboard becomes the central hub for all user activities
- Improved user retention through better navigation flow
- Reduced confusion about application structure
- As a new user, I want to sign up using my FlowProof credentials so I can access the full Link Visualizer functionality
- As a returning user, I want to be automatically logged in and directed to my dashboard
- As an authenticated user, I want clear navigation between different parts of the application
- As an authenticated user, I want my dashboard to show my unique proof email address prominently
- As a user, I want to see my saved HTML visualizations with meaningful titles (page titles from HTML)
- As a user, I want to click on email titles to open the visualization directly
- As a user, I want to easily create new visualizations from the dashboard
- As a user, I want clear navigation back to the dashboard from any visualization page
- As a user, I want the FlowProof link to take me to Link Visualizer homepage, not FlowProof site
- As a user, I want consistent navigation that doesn't confuse me about where I am
- As a demo user, I want to click a button and see a realistic link visualization without waiting for API calls
- As a demo user, I want to interact with the visualization (click links, see connections) just like the real product
- As a demo user, I want clear calls-to-action to sign up and try it with my own data
- As a demo user, I want to be encouraged to sign up through strategically placed CTAs
