+# Gemini Collaboration Plan for bs5
+
+Hello! Based on my analysis of your project structure, this appears to be an OCaml-based web application with a server-side rendering approach, likely inspired by React Server Components. The backend is built with OCaml and the Dune build system, using Nix for environment management. The frontend uses Tailwind CSS.
+
+The assets and file structure (`soyjaks/`, `board/`, `BlogIndex.mlx`) strongly suggest the goal is to build a modern, feature-rich imageboard or forum with a blog.
+
+Here is a potential roadmap with ideas for enhancing the application. We can tackle these in any order you prefer.
+
+## High-Level Goals
+
+1.  **Full-Featured Imageboard:** Implement core features like user-creatable boards, threads, and posts with image uploads.
+2.  **User System:** Add user authentication, profiles, and roles.
+3.  **Modern UX:** Create a polished, responsive, and interactive user experience.
+4.  **Robust Backend:** Ensure the backend is scalable, testable, and easy to maintain.
+

+
+## Proposed Development Areas
+
+### 1. Backend & Core Logic
+
+-   **[ ] Database Schema Expansion:**
+    -   Define and create tables for `users`, `sessions`, `boards`, `threads`, and `posts` in `init.sql`.
+    -   Design relationships (e.g., one-to-many for boards to threads, threads to posts).
+-   **[ ] User Authentication:**
+    -   Implement registration and login handlers.
+    -   Manage user sessions (e.g., using signed cookies).
+    -   Add middleware to protect certain routes.
+-   **[ ] Posting Engine:**
+    -   Create handlers in `post_handlers.ml` for creating new threads and replying to existing ones.
+    -   Implement logic for handling image uploads, including validation (file type, size) and storage.
+-   **[ ] API Development:**
+    -   Consider creating a basic JSON API for fetching board/thread data, which could be used for dynamic frontend updates.
+-   **[ ] Refine Querying:**
+    -   Expand `lib/shared/query.ml` to include functions for all database interactions (e.g., `get_user_by_username`, `get_posts_for_thread`).
+
+### 2. Frontend & UI Components
+
+-   **[ ] Component-Based UI:**
+    -   The `lib/pages/components/` directory is a great start. Let's break down the UI into smaller, reusable server-side components.
+    -   **Potential Components:** `BoardHeader.mlx`, `Thread.mlx`, `Post.mlx`, `ReplyForm.mlx`, `Navbar.mlx`.
+-   **[ ] Board Index Page:**
+    -   Create a page that lists all available boards, perhaps with descriptions and post counts.
+-   **[ ] Thread View:**
+    -   Develop the view for a single thread, displaying all its posts.
+-   **[ ] UI/UX Polish:**
+    -   Improve image viewing (e.g., a lightbox/modal for viewing full-size images).
+    -   Implement "quick reply" forms.
+    -   Use HTMX or a small amount of JavaScript for dynamic updates without full page reloads (e.g., for posting replies).
+
+### 3. Testing & DX (Developer Experience)
+
+-   **[ ] Expand Test Suite:**
+    -   Add unit tests for new handlers and database queries in `test/`.
+    -   Write integration tests for common user flows (e.g., registering, posting a thread).
+-   **[ ] Configuration:**
+    -   Move hardcoded values (like database paths or secret keys) into a configuration file or environment variables (`.env`).
+-   **[ ] Asset Pipeline:**
+    -   Optimize the `tailwind.sh` script for production builds (e.g., purging unused CSS).
