Overview

ThrillWiki is a community-driven web application for discovering, reviewing, and tracking theme parks, rides, and related entities globally. Its core purpose is to provide a centralized platform for enthusiasts to research attractions and contribute to a collaborative knowledge base through user contributions and reviews, offering a comprehensive encyclopedia for the theme park world.

User Preferences

Preferred communication style: Simple, everyday language.

System Architecture

Frontend

Tech Stack: React + TypeScript with Vite, Radix UI + Tailwind CSS (shadcn/ui), TanStack Query for state management, React Router v6 for routing.
Component Structure: Utilizes layout, page-level, reusable UI, and custom domain components.
Design System: HSL-based color system, dark/light theme support, custom gradients, Inter font, responsive and mobile-first design.
State Management: TanStack Query for server state, React Context for authentication, custom hooks for business logic, and Realtime subscriptions for live updates.

Backend

Database (Supabase PostgreSQL): Stores core entities (parks, rides, companies), location data, review/rating systems, user profiles, content submission workflows, and image metadata.
Authentication & Authorization: Supabase Auth for user management (magic link, email/password), Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection, role-based access control (user, moderator, admin, superuser), and Row-Level Security (RLS).
Content Moderation: Two-tier submission workflow with dependency tracking, conflict resolution, real-time updates for moderation queues, automated slug generation, and status tracking.
Data Access: Security definer functions for privileged operations, complex joins, aggregated data, full-text search, and real-time subscriptions.

Image Management

Cloudflare Images Integration: Used for media storage and transformation, with uploads proxied via Supabase Edge Functions. Supports multiple variants for responsive display and stores metadata in Supabase.
Upload Workflow: Uppy dashboard for multi-file uploads, image editor integration, progress tracking, and automatic resizing/optimization via Cloudflare.

Notification System (Novu)

Architecture: Multi-channel delivery (in-app, email, push), workflow-based templates, per-workflow user preferences, frequency controls, and headless notifications.
Features: Supports subscriber management and preference syncing via Supabase Edge Functions.

Search & Discovery

Multi-Entity Search: Unified search across parks, rides, and companies with autocomplete, recent history, category/type filtering, and advanced filters.
Location Features: Automatic unit conversion, geo-based preferences, and distance/measurement system settings.

User Management

Profile System: Customizable usernames, display names, avatars, bios, privacy controls, home park selection, and activity tracking.
User Blocking: Functionality to block users and hide their content.
Role Management: Hierarchical permission system for superuser, admin, moderator, and user roles, with role-specific UI and routes.

Admin & Moderation

Moderation Queue: Real-time monitoring of submissions, item-level approval/rejection, dependency conflict resolution, bulk actions, and status tracking.
Admin Settings: System-wide configuration with category-based organization and audit trails.
Reports System: Manages user-generated content reports with status workflows.
