# Vital | Freelancing Panel

### What is this panel?

This panel is a **full-stack admin and client dashboard** for managing users, commissions, boards, tasks, payments, and notifications. It is built for freelancers, or teams who need a single place to:

* Manage **clients** and their access to specific boards and commissions
* Create and track **commissions** (projects) with status, payments, files, and roadmaps
* Organize work with **boards** and **board tasks** (lists)
* Use a **calendar/todo** for tasks
* Create **Stripe payment links** (invoices and subscriptions) and track them
* Let clients sign in and see only **their assigned commissions** and boards
* Optional **Discord OAuth** and **email password reset**
* **Audit logs**, **broadcasts**, and **notifications**

The app is **one codebase**: a Hono (Node) backend with Prisma and PostgreSQL, and HTML/CSS/JS frontend. It can run locally for development or be deployed to **Vercel** (or any Node host) with minimal configuration.

### Who is it for?

* **Admins** – full access to users, commissions, boards, payments, logs, and settings
* **Staff** – access only to sections you grant (e.g. commissions, lists, calendar)
* **Clients** – access to their dashboard, assigned commission(s), and optionally assigned board(s)

### Tech stack (high level)

* **Backend:** Hono (Node), Prisma, PostgreSQL
* **Frontend:** Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, Tailwind CSS
* **Optional:** Stripe (payments), Discord OAuth, Nodemailer (SMTP for password reset)
* **Deployment:** Vercel (serverless) or any Node.js host

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kangaroodev.net/product-docs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
