Description: When switching between edit and view mode, the page automatically jumps back to the top. This interrupts the workflow, especially when working on longer pages, as the user has to manually scroll back to the previous position each time. Suggested solution: Preserve the current scroll position when switching between edit and view mode. Benefit: This would create a smoother and more efficient workflow, especially for longer pages, by maintaining context and reducing unnecessary navigation. Optional enhancement: Make this behavior configurable (e.g. “preserve scroll position” vs. “always scroll to top”), allowing users to choose the behavior that best fits their workflow.

## Summary Upgrade the invite flow to remove friction for admins, pre-fill invited user details, collect artistic profile data during signup, and deliver a personalized welcome experience on first login. ## Current vs. Planned | | Current | Planned | |---|---|---| | Admin invite | 3 steps (request → approve → send email) | 1 step (enter email → done) | | Email on signup | User types it manually | Pre-filled and locked from invite | | Signup questions | None (email/username/password only) | + artistic practice, website, social link | | First dashboard visit | Generic empty state | Personalized welcome banner | --- ## A. Admin Direct Invite **New endpoint:** `POST /api/admin/invite` Accepts `{ email, firstName? }`. In one step: 1. Validates caller is admin 2. Creates `invite_requests` row with `status: approved`, `source: admin_direct`, `invited_by: admin_user_id` 3. Generates invite code 4. Sends invite email with link `/auth/signup?invite=CODE` The existing request → approve → send flow stays intact for organic signups. **Database changes:** ```sql ALTER TABLE invite_requests ADD COLUMN invited_by UUID REFERENCES user_profiles(id), ADD COLUMN source TEXT DEFAULT 'request'; -- Values: request, admin_direct, user_referral (future) ``` --- ## B. Pre-filled Email on Signup When an invited user clicks `/auth/signup?invite=CODE`, the email is pre-filled from the invite record. **New RPC function:** `get_invite_by_code(code)` — returns the invite row including email. **Signup page:** Fetches invite details server-side, passes `inviteEmail` to AuthForm. Email field rendered as read-only: "Invited as maria@example.com". **Security:** On submit, verify signup email matches the invite record email. --- ## C. Pre-Signup Questionnaire Two-step signup flow. Step 1: credentials (email, username, password → Continue). Step 2: three questions (→ Create Account). ### Question 1: Artistic Practice (required, multi-select chips) | | | | | |---|---|---|---| | Photography | Illustration | Painting | Graphic Design | | Architecture | Fashion | Film & Video | Sculpture | | Digital Art | Mixed Media | Typography | Animation | | Music | Writing | Crafts | Other | Selecting "Other" shows a freetext input. ### Question 2: Website Link (optional) Text input. Placeholder: `https://your-portfolio.com` ### Question 3: Social Link (optional) Text input. Placeholder: `https://instagram.com/yourusername` Platform auto-detected from URL (instagram.com → instagram field, twitter.com → twitter field, etc.) ### Data Flow Questionnaire answers stored in `user_metadata` during the `signUp()` call. After email verification, the auth callback syncs metadata to `user_profiles`: - `artistic_practice` → new `TEXT[]` column - website → existing `website` column - social link → parsed to appropriate social column **Database changes:** ```sql ALTER TABLE user_profiles ADD COLUMN artistic_practice TEXT[]; ``` --- ## D. Post-Signup Welcome After email verification, redirect to `/{username}/dashboard?welcome=true`. **New component:** `WelcomeBanner` — shows above the empty dashboard bento grid: - "Welcome to Salon.io, Maria!" - If artistic practice known: "We're thrilled to have a fellow photographer on board." - Dismiss button removes the `?welcome=true` param --- ## E. Terms of Service Acceptance Currently there is no ToS acceptance anywhere in the signup flow. This must be added before public launch (March 13). ### Placement The ToS checkbox goes on Step 2 (questionnaire), right above the "Create Account" button: ``` Step 2: About You ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ What do you create? [chips...] │ │ Website link [________] │ │ Social link [________] │ │ │ │ ☐ I agree to the Terms of Service │ │ and Privacy Policy │ │ │ │ [Create Account] │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` - Checkbox is **unchecked by default** (GDPR requirement — no pre-checked consent) - "Create Account" button disabled until checkbox is checked - "Terms of Service" and "Privacy Policy" are links to `/terms` and `/privacy` - Not a pre-checked box — must be an affirmative action by the user ### What Gets Stored On signup, the acceptance timestamp is included in `user_metadata`: ```typescript options: { data: { username, artistic_practice: [...], tos_accepted_at: new Date().toISOString(), // ISO 8601 tos_version: "2026-03-13", // Version of ToS accepted } } ``` After email verification, synced to `user_profiles`: ```sql ALTER TABLE user_profiles ADD COLUMN tos_accepted_at TIMESTAMPTZ, ADD COLUMN tos_version TEXT; ``` ### Why This Moment The ToS acceptance happens before account creation — before the user receives any value (the 100 SLN signup bonus from the SLN Ledger spec is credited on email confirmation, which comes after). This sequence ensures: 1. User agrees to terms (Step 2, checkbox) 2. Account is created (Supabase signUp) 3. User verifies email (confirmation link) 4. SLN bonus credited (+100 SLN) 5. User lands on dashboard (welcome banner) Legal consent is captured before any credits, subscriptions, or platform features are accessible. ### Legal Requirements (EU/GDPR) | Requirement | How we meet it | |---|---| | Affirmative consent | Unchecked checkbox, user must click | | Informed consent | Links to full ToS and Privacy Policy | | Proof of consent | `tos_accepted_at` timestamp + `tos_version` stored | | Version tracking | `tos_version` field tracks which version was accepted | | Re-consent on changes | When ToS version changes, prompt existing users to re-accept | --- ## New Files | File | Purpose | |---|---| | `app/api/admin/invite/route.ts` | Admin direct invite endpoint | | `src/components/SignupQuestionnaire.tsx` | Questionnaire UI (chips + inputs) | | `src/components/dashboard/WelcomeBanner.tsx` | Personalized welcome banner | | `src/config/artistic-practices.ts` | Category list constant | | `src/utils/social-link-parser.ts` | Detect platform from URL | | `supabase/migrations/YYYYMMDD_invite_flow_upgrade.sql` | Schema + RPC changes | ## Modified Files | File | Change | |---|---| | `src/components/AuthForm.tsx` | Two-step flow, `inviteEmail` prop, questionnaire integration | | `app/auth/signup/page.tsx` | Server-side invite lookup, pass email | | `app/auth/callback/page.tsx` | Sync metadata to profile, `?welcome=true` redirect | | `src/hooks/use-auth.ts` | Extend `signUp()` with questionnaire metadata | | `src/components/dashboard/EmptyDashboard.tsx` | Integrate WelcomeBanner | --- ## Implementation Sequence 1. Database migration (columns + RPC) 2. Config and utilities 3. Admin invite API 4. Signup page (server-side invite lookup) 5. AuthForm two-step flow + SignupQuestionnaire 6. use-auth hook extension 7. Auth callback (profile sync + welcome redirect) 8. WelcomeBanner component 9. Email template updates *Full spec: `new-salon-app/docs/ongoing/INVITE-FLOW-UPGRADE.md`*

Feedback from Founding member club-marignal: "Ich fände es auch cool, wenn das auf der Seite auftauchen würde. Z. B. im Footer anstatt dem Powered by new.salon.io, dafür mit kleiner Krone oder Pokal o. Ä. " could be default settings, on the two pro lifetime sites but founding members should be opt out.

Currently, background images can only be added via click-to-upload. Adding drag-and-drop functionality for background images would make the workflow much faster and more intuitive.

Currently, it is only possible to integrate video content via external embeds (e.g. YouTube or Vimeo). There is no option to use video files directly within layouts. This limits the ability to include moving image content in a simple and flexible way. Suggested solution: Allow the use of video files directly within layouts, either via upload or by linking to external sources. Benefit: This would make it possible to integrate moving image content more easily and flexibly, enhancing the visual possibilities and overall design of a page. As motion content has become a standard element in modern web design, this feature would align the tool with common expectations and evolving design practices.

In the previous version of Salon, the background image was visible in Lightbox mode, which helped maintain the visual context of the page. Currently, when opening images in the Lightbox view, the background image is not displayed. While it is possible to adjust the background color, there is no option to display the background image in this mode. Suggested solution: Enable the background image to be displayed in the Lightbox view. Benefit: This would preserve the overall visual design and atmosphere when viewing images in Lightbox mode, creating a more consistent and immersive user experience.

Currently, background colors can be selected using the built-in color picker (including hex input and predefined color options). However, it is not possible to pick a color directly from the canvas or from images within the workspace. This makes it difficult to match colors precisely when working with existing visual elements. Suggested solution: Add an eyedropper tool that allows users to sample colors directly from the canvas or uploaded images. Benefit: This would enable faster and more accurate color matching, improving design consistency and streamlining the workflow. It would also align the tool with standard functionality found in many design applications.

In the previous version of Salon, it was possible to create and adjust horizontal canvases with groups of images in just a few simple steps. This was very convenient and the layout option I used most. In the new version of Salon, the horizontal canvas option is only available in canvas mode. While this works great for many cases, it can be unnecessarily time-consuming for many common use cases. For example, if I want to arrange a series of images (e.g. 20 images of the same size with consistent spacing) in a horizontal row, doing this in canvas mode requires a lot of manual work. Any changes (such as size, spacing, or order) also have to be adjusted manually and individually for each image. Suggested solution: Enable horizontal canvas in fixed height layout mode, with flexible options for sizing and spacing. Benefit: This would allow for quick and efficient creation and adjustment of consistent horizontal image rows, while avoiding the manual overhead required in canvas mode. It would significantly improve workflow efficiency for common horizontal layout tasks.

we need a total reality check and overhaul of mobile and device preview. both are pretty much broken now whats expected is that when a user selects mobile device preview, a special panel in sidebar opens, with 3 main tabs section, navigation, style for every section the user should be able to select alternative layout type for mobile. note, that the user should not be able to edit content when in mobile preview mode, but only change/optimise a subset of settings for mobile display

- Unified color picker behavior across all panels (text, backgrounds, navigation, theme) - Always show: recent colors (last 8 used), theme colors, standard presets - Compact mode for inline use, expanded mode for detailed editing - Smart suggestions: complementary colors from site theme, high-contrast options against background **Files:** `src/components/ui/color-picker.tsx`
