Serengo Finds Feature Implementation Log

Implementation Started: October 10, 2025

Project Overview

Implementing the "Finds" feature for Serengo - a location-based social discovery platform where users can save, share, and discover memorable places with photos/videos, reviews, and precise location data.

Implementation Plan

Based on finds.md specification, implementing in phases:

Phase 1 (MVP):

1. Database schema and migrations ✓ (in progress)
2. Create Find functionality (with photos)
3. FindsMap with markers
4. FindPreview modal
5. Basic Find feed

Phase 2:

• Video support
• Like functionality
• Friends system
• Enhanced filters and search
• Share functionality

Progress Log

Day 1 - October 10, 2025

Current Status: Starting implementation

Completed:

• Created implementation log (log.md)
• Set up todo tracking system
• Reviewed finds.md specification

Next Steps:

• Examine current database schema
• Add new database tables for Finds
• Set up R2 storage configuration
• Create API endpoints
• Build UI components

Notes:

• Following existing code conventions (tabs, single quotes, TypeScript strict mode)
• Using Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL
• Integrating with existing auth system
• Planning for PWA offline support

Update - Database Setup Complete:

• ✅ Added new database tables (find, findMedia, findLike, friendship)
• ✅ Generated and pushed database migration
• ✅ Database schema now supports Finds feature

Current Status: Moving to R2 storage and API implementation

Required Dependencies to Install:

• @aws-sdk/client-s3
• @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner
• sharp

Next Priority Tasks:

1. Install AWS SDK and Sharp dependencies
2. Create R2 storage configuration
3. Implement media processing utilities
4. Create API endpoints for CRUD operations
5. Build UI components (CreateFindModal, FindPreview)

Technical Notes:

• Using text fields for latitude/longitude for precision
• isPublic stored as integer (1=true, 0=false) for SQLite compatibility
• Following existing auth patterns with generateFindId()
• Planning simplified distance queries for MVP (can upgrade to PostGIS later)
