- Add GraphQL endpoint for complex queries
- Implement analytics and predictions
- Add design system polish (dark mode, loading states)
- Optimize database with indexes and caching
- Implement rate limiting and security hardening
Deliverables:
- Performant API
- Predictive insights
- Polished UI/UX
- Hardened security
8. Conclusion
Summary Statistics
- Total Gaps Identified: 120 features
- Completed: 9 features ✅ (7.5%)
- Remaining: 111 features
- Critical Priority: 18 features (2 completed ✅)
- High Priority: 35 features (4 completed ✅)
- Medium Priority: 42 features (3 completed ✅)
- Low Priority: 25 features (0 completed)
Key Observations
-
Strong Foundation: The core architecture is well-implemented with proper modules, entities, and page structure.
-
Recent Progress (October 2025): ✅
- Photo management system with MinIO integration
- Comprehensive error code system with multi-language support
- Redis caching infrastructure
- Performance monitoring and database optimization
- Audit logging for compliance
-
Missing Critical Features: Offline-first functionality, password reset, email verification, and remaining compliance features are the most critical gaps.
-
AI Needs Work: The AI module exists but lacks safety features, context management, and multi-language support.
-
Testing Needed: Jest is configured but no tests have been written. This is a significant technical debt.
-
Accessibility Gaps: No evidence of accessibility testing or screen reader support.
-
Security Hardening: Basic authentication exists, error handling improved ✅, but still lacks MFA, rate limiting, and comprehensive validation.
Next Steps
- Prioritize offline-first implementation - This is documented as a core requirement but not implemented
- Add error handling and logging - Critical for production debugging
- Implement compliance features - Legal requirement for launch
- Write tests - Critical for code quality and maintainability
- Add accessibility features - Legal requirement and good practice
Documentation Quality
The documentation is excellent and comprehensive. The main challenge is that the implementation has only completed about 30-40% of the documented features. The project needs focused implementation effort on the critical gaps identified in this document.
