Project Overview
Name: spotlight.cam Purpose: P2P video exchange app for dance event participants Main Feature: WebRTC P2P video file transfer (no server storage) Tech Stack: React + Vite + Tailwind | Node.js + Express + Socket.IO | PostgreSQL 15 | Docker Compose
Current Status
Phase: 2.5 (WebRTC P2P File Transfer) - ✅ COMPLETED Previous Phases:
- Phase 2 (Matches & Ratings API) - ✅ COMPLETED
- Phase 1.6 (Competition Heats) - ✅ COMPLETED
- Phase 1.5 (Email & WSDC & Profiles & Security & QR Check-in) - ✅ COMPLETED Progress: ~78% overall Next Goal: Phase 3 - MVP Finalization (Security hardening, PWA, Production deployment)
What Works Now
- ✅ Docker Compose (nginx:8080 + frontend + backend + PostgreSQL)
- ✅ All frontend views with real API integration
- ✅ Backend API (Node.js + Express)
- ✅ PostgreSQL database with 8 tables (Prisma ORM)
- ✅ Real authentication (JWT + bcrypt)
- ✅ Email verification (AWS SES with link + PIN code) - Phase 1.5
- ✅ Password reset workflow - Phase 1.5
- ✅ WSDC ID integration for auto-fill registration - Phase 1.5
- ✅ User profiles with social media & location - Phase 1.5
- ✅ Public profiles (/{username}) - Phase 1.5
- ✅ Event participation tracking - Phase 1.5
- ✅ Event security (unique slugs, no ID enumeration) - Phase 1.5
- ✅ QR code event check-in system - Phase 1.5 (requires physical presence at venue)
- ✅ Competition heats declaration system - Phase 1.6 (matchmaking prerequisite)
- ✅ Matches API (create/accept/list matches with slugs) - Phase 2
- ✅ Ratings API (rate partners, 1-5 stars, comments) - Phase 2
- ✅ WebRTC signaling (SDP/ICE exchange via Socket.IO) - Phase 2.5
- ✅ WebRTC P2P file transfer (RTCDataChannel, 16KB chunks, up to 700MB tested) - Phase 2.5
- ✅ WebRTC detection & fallback UX (auto-detect browser capabilities) - Phase 2.5
- ✅ Real-time chat (Socket.IO for event & match rooms)
What's Missing
- ⏳ STUN/TURN servers configuration for production (NAT traversal)
- ⏳ Server-based upload fallback (when WebRTC blocked)
- ⏳ Security hardening (CORS, CSRF, Helmet, CSP)
- ⏳ PWA features (manifest, service worker, offline support)
- ⏳ Production deployment & monitoring

User Flow
- Register/Login
- Choose event (from worldsdc.com list)
- Event chat - matchmaking
- Match confirmation → private 1:1 chat
- Select video from gallery (recorded outside app)
- WebRTC P2P transfer (direct, no server storage) OR link sharing fallback
- Rate partner (1-5 stars, comment)
Development Guidelines
Code Language
- All code, strings, UI text, comments: ENGLISH
- Variable/function names: ENGLISH
- Communication with developer: POLISH
Git Commits
- Standard format, NO mentions of AI/automatic generation
- ✅ Good:
feat: add WebRTC P2P video transfer - ❌ Bad:
feat: add video transfer (generated by AI)
Important Decisions
- Port 8080 (port 80 was occupied)
- Tailwind CSS v3.4.0 (v4 has breaking changes with Vite)
- Mock authentication uses localStorage
- All UI text in English
Next Steps (Phase 2 - Core Features)
Priority: HIGH Estimated Time: 12-15 hours
Step 1: Matches API (3-4h)
POST /api/matches- Create match requestPOST /api/matches/:id/accept- Accept matchGET /api/matches- List user's matches- Frontend integration (match request flow)
- Tests
Step 2: Ratings API (2-3h)
POST /api/ratings- Submit rating after collaborationGET /api/users/:id/ratings- Get user's ratings- Frontend integration (rating form)
- Tests
Step 3: WebRTC Signaling (3-4h)
- Socket.IO events for SDP/ICE exchange
- Signaling flow (offer/answer/ice-candidate)
- Frontend WebRTC setup (RTCPeerConnection)
- Connection establishment tests
Step 4: WebRTC File Transfer (4-5h)
- RTCDataChannel setup
- File chunking (16KB chunks)
- Progress monitoring (sender & receiver)
- Error handling & reconnection
- Complete P2P video transfer flow

Known Issues & Solutions
Issue: Tailwind v4 compatibility error
Solution: Downgraded to Tailwind v3.4.0
npm install -D tailwindcss@^3.4.0
Issue: Port 80 already allocated
Solution: Changed nginx port to 8080 in docker-compose.yml
Issue: Prisma OpenSSL error in Alpine Linux
Solution: Added OpenSSL to Dockerfile
RUN apk add --no-cache openssl
WebRTC Implementation Notes (Future)
Main functionality - P2P file transfer:
- RTCPeerConnection for connection establishment
- RTCDataChannel for binary data transfer
- File chunking (16KB chunks recommended)
- Progress monitoring (both sender and receiver)
- Metadata exchange (filename, size, MIME type)
- Error handling and reconnection logic
- Fallback: link sharing (Google Drive, Dropbox)
Signaling:
- WebSocket (Socket.IO) for SDP/ICE exchange
- Server only for signaling, NOT for file storage
Security:
- WebRTC native encryption (DTLS/SRTP)
- Optional: additional chat encryption (WebCrypto API)

Quick Reference - Events
Seeded Events (slugs are auto-generated cuid for security):
- Warsaw Dance Festival 2025 (slug: auto-generated, e.g.
cmhz3lcgb00018vbn34v4phoi) - Swing Camp Barcelona 2025 (slug: auto-generated)
- Blues Week Herräng 2025 (slug: auto-generated)
- Krakow Swing Connection 2025 (slug: auto-generated)
Note: Event slugs are randomly generated cuid strings to prevent ID enumeration attacks. To find the actual slug, log in and check the Events page URL.
