What the work delivered

Delivers the complete MVP through authentication, schedules, chores, evidence review, points and rewards

Protects family and child data with row-level security and private storage

Runs on free-tier-friendly Supabase and Vercel services by default

Goals

Give each family member an understandable view of the household schedule
Distribute chores fairly while respecting age, preferences and workload
Make the experience engaging for children and useful for parents

Key design decisions

Used separate parent authentication and child profile-switching experiences
Applied Supabase row-level security to family-scoped data
Stored task evidence privately and added scheduled evidence cleanup
Built iteratively with phase-specific branches, worktrees, tests and review gates

Challenges and solutions

Safe child access

Designed Kid Mode around server-controlled profile switching rather than giving every child a separate external identity.

Fair assignment rules

Represented household, age, workload and preference constraints explicitly so assignment behaviour remains understandable and testable.

Key learnings

Turning family routines into clear product and data rules
Using RLS and private storage as core design boundaries
Keeping a multi-phase application approachable for future contributors
