PassMaster PWA Improvements Roadmap

🚀 Immediate Improvements (Week 1-2)

1. Performance Optimization

// Add to next.config.js
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    optimizeCss: true,
    optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', 'framer-motion'],
  },
  images: {
    formats: ['image/webp', 'image/avif'],
    deviceSizes: [640, 750, 828, 1080, 1200, 1920, 2048, 3840],
  },
  compress: true,
}

2. Enhanced Security Features

// Add password strength meter
interface PasswordStrength {
  score: number; // 0-4
  entropy: number;
  timeToCrack: string;
  suggestions: string[];
}

// Add password history
interface PasswordHistory {
  id: string;
  password: string;
  timestamp: number;
  strength: PasswordStrength;
  category?: string;
}

3. Real Marketing Assets

• Create actual screenshots (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Record demo video showing PWA installation
• Create social media graphics
• Add app store preview images

📈 Medium-term Improvements (Month 1-2)

4. Analytics & Monitoring

// Add privacy-friendly analytics
import Plausible from 'plausible-tracker'

const plausible = Plausible({
  domain: 'passmaster.app',
  apiHost: 'https://plausible.io'
})

// Track key events
plausible.trackEvent('Password Generated')
plausible.trackEvent('PWA Installed')
plausible.trackEvent('Offline Used')

5. Internationalization

// Add i18n support
import { useTranslations } from 'next-intl'

const t = useTranslations('common')
// German translation
const messages = {
  de: {
    common: {
      generate: 'Passwort generieren',
      copy: 'Kopieren',
      // ... more translations
    }
  }
}

6. Advanced Password Features

// Add passphrase generation
const generatePassphrase = (wordCount: number = 4): string => {
  const words = wordList.filter(word => word.length >= 4)
  return Array.from({ length: wordCount }, () => 
    words[Math.floor(Math.random() * words.length)]
  ).join('-')
}

// Add memorable patterns
const generateMemorable = (): string => {
  const patterns = [
    'adjective-noun-number',
    'verb-adjective-noun',
    'color-animal-number'
  ]
  // Implementation...
}

🎯 Long-term Improvements (Month 3-6)

7. Monetization Strategy

// Premium features
interface PremiumFeatures {
  advancedTemplates: boolean;
  unlimitedHistory: boolean;
  exportFunctionality: boolean;
  apiAccess: boolean;
  whiteLabel: boolean;
}

// Pricing tiers
const pricing = {
  free: { price: 0, features: ['basic'] },
  pro: { price: 4.99, features: ['advanced', 'export', 'history'] },
  enterprise: { price: 29.99, features: ['api', 'whitelabel', 'support'] }
}

8. API Development

// REST API for developers
interface PasswordAPI {
  generate: (options: PasswordOptions) => Promise<PasswordResult>;
  validate: (password: string) => Promise<ValidationResult>;
  strength: (password: string) => Promise<StrengthResult>;
}

// Rate limiting and authentication
const apiConfig = {
  rateLimit: '100 requests/hour',
  authentication: 'API key required',
  documentation: 'OpenAPI/Swagger'
}

🔧 Technical Debt & Maintenance

  // Consistent card styling
}

export const Input = ({ type, validation, ...props }) => {
  // Consistent input styling
}

12. Animation System

// Enhanced animations
const animations = {
  fadeIn: { opacity: [0, 1], duration: 0.3 },
  slideUp: { y: [20, 0], opacity: [0, 1], duration: 0.4 },
  scale: { scale: [0.95, 1], duration: 0.2 },
