# 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
