Client Portal.

Two views of one tool. Clients see their project status; you manage everything from the admin side.

// the problem

When project status lives in your inbox.

Email is a bad project tracker. It's just a bad one that everybody already has.

~/the-problem.sh

$ grep -r "status update" ~/inbox

47 emails. 12 phone calls. 3 sticky notes.

Your client asks “where's my project?” and you dig for 10 minutes.

Half the answers are out of date by the time you find them.

// the solution — try both views

One tool, two viewpoints.

Toggle between what your client sees and what you see. Same data — different lens.

~/client-portal.applive

Select a project to view details

// in production

What this becomes when it's real.

✓01 / login

Real authentication

Clients log in with email + magic link or SSO. They see only their own projects — never each other's.

✓02 / notify

Email + Slack on status changes

Update a project from the admin side; the client gets an email. Add a comment; you get pinged in Slack.

✓03 / upload

Real file storage

Drag-and-drop file upload, with previews for images, PDFs, and design files. Stored on S3 or your own infrastructure.

✓04 / pay

Stripe-connected invoices

Send invoices directly from the portal, accept card or ACH. Reconciles automatically.
