The homepage was a marketing brochure -- a hero paragraph, a "three
steps" explainer and a tag list. It described the gesture in prose
while the actual Tinder deck sat behind /deck/[jobId], reachable only
after signing in AND posting a job. Nobody opening the app ever saw
the product.
Now / renders a phone illustration with the real app running inside
it: the same <Deck>, the same drag physics, real verified pros. On a
phone the bezel collapses and the deck simply fills the viewport --
drawing a picture of a phone on a phone is absurd, and it would eat
the width the cards need.
- Removed the fixed app bar and bottom tab bar. AppShell now renders
the screen title as an in-flow h1; the bar owned the only h1 on
every screen, so dropping it silently would have left every page
headingless. The /jobs "post" action moved from bar chrome into the
content, since the tab bar was its only other route there.
- getShowcaseDeck(): a deck with no job behind it. getDeck is
job-scoped (joins jobs for category and location, anti-joins
swipes), which an anonymous visitor has none of, so this centres on
the launch city. Eligibility rules are copied verbatim -- nobody may
appear in the shop window who could not appear on a real deck.
- deck.showcase: the only public procedure in the router. list and
swipe stay behind clientProcedure. It reads nothing about the caller
and writes nothing, so a right swipe on the entry screen is purely
local. No real tradesperson is contacted until a job is posted.
- <Deck> filled a hardcoded 560px desktop box; it now fills its
container. The card counter moved out from between the two action
buttons so the thumb zone holds nothing but the two controls.
Verified against the seeded database: 22 eligible pros returned, and
all three seeded traps excluded for the right reason -- Pau Ribas
(22km out, 5km radius), Unverified Ulla (pending), Away Arnau (not
accepting). 7 new integration tests cover exactly that.
Also corrects a label I had written as "Plumbers near you" -- the
showcase deck is not category-filtered and shows every trade.
Includes concurrent edits to the mobile shell, ui/ primitives and
DESIGN.md made outside this session.
typecheck, lint, build clean; 141 tests pass.

Stands up packages/api so the swipe path stops trusting its caller, and
puts the auth library behind an interface we own.
- packages/api: tRPC v11 with a Session type WE define, not one
re-exported from an auth library. Swapping providers means rewriting
one SessionResolver, not touching a router.
- Procedure layers: public / protected / client / pro / verifiedPro /
admin. Admin routes 404 rather than 403 so they cannot be probed.
- deck router replaces the untrusted server action. Ownership is checked
on every operation and returns NOT_FOUND, never FORBIDDEN, so job ids
cannot be enumerated. 23 tests, mostly authorization.
- packages/storage: presigned direct-to-R2 uploads. The server picks the
key, so a caller can only write under their own user id. 14 tests.
Three defects found and fixed:
- The lazy db Proxy failed drizzle's is(db, PgDatabase) because it did
not trap getPrototypeOf. Auth adapters dispatch on exactly that check,
so this would have failed at runtime inside third-party code. Fixed
and pinned with a regression test.
- The open-request cap was a read-then-write race: concurrent swipes
could both read 4 and both insert. Now one transaction with the job
row locked. The cap is checked before the tombstone is written, so a
rejected swipe leaves no trace and the card stays on the deck.
- superjson was configured in two of the three required places. Without
the QueryClient dehydrate/hydrate pair, RSC-prefetched data arrives as
a raw envelope with no type error to warn you.

Greenfield scaffold for Linkder, a swipe-to-hire marketplace for local
professional services.
- pnpm/turbo monorepo: apps/web, packages/{shared,db}
- Postgres 16 + PostGIS via docker compose (ports 5442/6389 to avoid
clashing with other local stacks)
- Drizzle schema, 23 tables, geography(Point,4326) with GiST indexes
- Domain core in packages/shared: integer-cent money, status transition
graphs, deck ranking weights, cancellation policy — 46 unit tests
- Deck query: filtering in Postgres on the GiST index, ranking in JS so
the weights stay tunable — 18 integration tests against a seeded DB
- Deterministic seed placing pros at known distances, including three
that must NOT appear on a deck (out of radius, unverified, away)
- Next.js 15 app shell with a working swipe deck
- CI: typecheck, lint, test, build against live postgres+redis
