# PassMaster PWA Improvements Roadmap

## 🚀 **Immediate Improvements (Week 1-2)**

### 1. Performance Optimization
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
// 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**
