Phase 1

Highest priority

Make it real (must-have foundation)

Auth + roles: add sign in/up and role selection (Creator/Brand) with protected routes.
Backend + database: replace lib/data.ts with persisted models (users, creator_profiles, brand_profiles, requests).
Real connect flow: submit deal requests to DB, show status (new, accepted, rejected, completed).
Basic dashboards: /dashboard/creator and /dashboard/brand to manage incoming/outgoing requests.
Global states: add app/loading.tsx, app/error.tsx, app/not-found.tsx.

Phase 2

Messaging lite: request thread/comments per deal (no full chat first).
Notifications: in-app unread indicators for request updates.
Trust layer: report user/content, verification request flow, and simple moderation admin page.
Legal + support: privacy, terms, cookies, faq, contact.
SEO baseline: route-level metadata, OG images, sitemap.ts, robots.ts.

Phase 3

After MVP

Payments/escrow-style milestone flow (or at least deposits).
Advanced discovery: saved filters, recommended matches, better ranking.
Analytics funnel: homepage -> profile -> connect submit -> accepted deal.
Mobile UX pass: nav, forms, card density, and touch targets.
Accessibility pass: keyboard navigation, focus styles, ARIA labels, contrast checks.
