Reviews Model** 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY - User reviews of parks and rides - 1-5 star ratings - Title, content, visit date - Wait time tracking - Photo attachments - Moderation workflow - Helpful votes system **2. User Ride Credits Model** 🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY - Track which rides users have experienced - First ride date tracking - Ride count per user per ride - Credit tracking system **3. User Top Lists Model** 🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY - User-created rankings (parks, rides, coasters) - Public/private toggle - Ordered items with positions and notes - List sharing capabilities ### **Deprioritized** - ~~Park Operating Hours~~ - Not important per user request --- ## 🎯 Implementation Plan ### **Phase 9: Complete Missing Models (This Week)** **Day 1-2: Reviews System** - Create Reviews app - Implement Review model - Create API endpoints (CRUD + voting) - Add admin interface - Integrate with moderation system **Day 3: User Ride Credits** - Add UserRideCredit model to users app - Create tracking API endpoints - Add admin interface - Implement credit statistics **Day 4: User Top Lists** - Add UserTopList model to users app - Create list management API endpoints - Add admin interface - Implement list validation **Day 5: Testing & Documentation** - Unit tests for all new models - API integration tests - Update API documentation - Verify feature parity --- ## 📋 Remaining Tasks After Phase 9 ### **Phase 10: Data Migration** (Optional - depends on prod data) - Audit Supabase database - Export and transform data - Import to Django - Validate integrity ### **Phase 11: Frontend Integration** (4-6 weeks) - Create Django API client - Replace Supabase auth with JWT - Update all API calls - Test all user flows ### **Phase 12: Testing** (1-2 weeks) - Comprehensive test suite - E2E testing - Performance testing - Security audit ### **Phase 13: Deployment** (1 week) - Platform selection (Railway/Render recommended) - Environment configuration - CI/CD pipeline - Production deployment --- ## 🚀 Success Criteria **Phase 9 Complete When:** - [ ] All 3 missing models implemented - [ ] All API endpoints functional - [ ] Admin interfaces working - [ ] Basic tests passing - [ ] Documentation updated - [ ] Django system check: 0 issues **Full Migration Complete When:** - [ ] All data migrated (if applicable) - [ ] Frontend integrated - [ ] Tests passing (80%+ coverage) - [ ] Production deployed - [ ] User acceptance testing complete --- ## 📈 Timeline Estimate - **Phase 9 (Missing Models):** 5-7 days ⚡ IN PROGRESS - **Phase 10 (Data Migration):** 0-14 days (conditional) - **Phase 11 (Frontend):** 20-30 days - **Phase 12 (Testing):** 7-10 days - **Phase 13 (Deployment):** 5-7 days **Total Remaining:** 37-68 days (5-10 weeks) --- ## 🎯 Current Focus **NOW:** Implementing the 3 missing models - Reviews (in progress) - User Ride Credits (next) - User Top Lists (next) **NEXT:** Decide on data migration strategy **THEN:** Frontend integration begins --- **Last Updated:** November 8, 2025, 3:11 PM EST **Next Review:** After Phase 9 completion
