IdeaScore is a tool for ranking project ideas based on payoff-to-effort ratio. The core concept allows users to:

1. Add ideas with descriptions
2. Rate each idea on effort (1-10) and payoff (1-10)
3. View ideas ranked by payoff-to-effort ratio
4. Tag, filter, and organize ideas
5. Visualize ideas using charts and graphs

This roadmap breaks down the development process into manageable checkpoints, allowing for incremental progress and regular feedback.

• Implement versioning

Checkpoint 9.1: Pro Features

• Define pro tier feature set
• Implement subscription system
• Add advanced analytics for pro users
• Create shareable dashboards
• Implement team collaboration features

Throughout all phases, maintain:

• Unit tests for database operations
• Component tests for UI elements
• End-to-end tests for critical flows
• Accessibility testing
• Performance testing for data-heavy operations

1. Complete each checkpoint before moving to the next
2. Get approval after each checkpoint is completed
3. Maintain test coverage throughout
4. Document changes in a changelog
5. Periodically review and adjust the roadmap as needed

Create a simple project management file in the ideaScore folder to track:

• Current phase and checkpoint
• Completed items
• Known issues
• Planned next steps
• Testing results

This roadmap is intended to be a living document that evolves as the project progresses.
