Absolutely—here are practical, high‑impact suggestions organized by area, with reasoning and trade‑offs to help you prioritize.

# UX and Information Architecture

- Sidebar improvements: Add “Help” to the persistent bottom section, plus “What’s new” and “Shortcuts” to surface discoverability. Helps onboarding and reduces support requests.

- Empty states and guided actions: For Prompts, Collections, Folders, and Tags pages, show contextual guidance and one‑click actions (e.g., “Create your first prompt,” “Import prompts,” “Add tags”) to reduce friction.

- Grid/List view toggle: Let users switch between card grid and dense table for prompts. Grid is better for quick browsing; table is faster for power users and bulk actions.

- Breadcrumbs and quick actions: Ensure consistent breadcrumbs for deep pages like PromptDetail, PublicPrompt, and CollectionDetail, with a right‑aligned quick actions menu (edit, share, move, publish).

# Import/Export and Bulk Operations

- Import wizard: Turn the current import into a step‑by‑step flow with validation, mapping, and a “dry‑run” preview showing exactly what will be created, updated, or rejected. This prevents bad data and supports large CSV/JSON imports confidently.

- Field mapping and normalization: Let users map their input fields to your schema (e.g., “model” → “platform/model”) and auto‑create missing tags/categories with confirmation. Reduces pre‑import data prep.

- Duplicate handling: Support matching by title or external ID with configurable merge rules (ignore, update, create new version). Prevents clutter and supports version history.

- Bulk edit: Multi‑select prompts to apply changes (tags, folders, categories, publish/unpublish). Big productivity win for curators.

# Collaboration and Workflow

- Draft → Review → Publish workflow: Introduce a simple status pipeline with optional reviewer assignment. Adds quality control for public content without heavy process.

- Shared collections with roles: Allow “viewer” or “editor” roles for collections. Great for teams; aligns with existing per‑user RLS patterns.

- Comments and annotations: Lightweight discussions on prompts with mentions and notifications. Helps teams iterate without leaving the app.

# Search and Discovery

- Advanced filters: Expand search to include platform, model, tags, category, folder, NSFW flag, and public/private. Support saved searches and quick filters (e.g., “My drafts,” “Recently updated,” “Trending”).

- Full‑text search and relevance: Use Postgres FTS fields for title/content and boost by favorites or recent updates. Improves discoverability at scale.

- Tag insights: Show top tags, recent tags, and suggested tags when editing to encourage consistent taxonomy.

# Versioning and History

- Diff and revert improvements: You already have a DiffViewer—add “compare to previous” shortcuts and one‑click revert with confirmation. Reduces fear of editing.

- Change notes: Let editors add a brief note when publishing a new version; makes history understandable.

# Performance and Reliability

- List virtualization and incremental loading: Virtualize long lists and paginate; prefetch next pages on scroll. Keeps UI smooth for large datasets.

- Skeletons and optimistic UI: Use skeleton loaders and optimistic updates for common actions (favorite, publish). Perceived performance improves.

- Client‑side caching: Cache recent lists and search results, invalidate intelligently on changes. Cuts latency.

# Security and Compliance

- Edge function hardening: Enforce strict JWT verification on every edge function and derive user_id from claims. Add role checks against profiles.is_admin for admin endpoints and “userOnly=false” actions.

- Rate limiting and idempotency: Apply per‑user rate limits to sync functions; accept idempotency keys to avoid duplicate operations on retries.

- Secrets posture: Keep service role and provider tokens strictly in edge function runtime secrets; add rotation playbooks and alerting if used client‑side.

- RLS audit: Review policies like tags (currently public insert) and tighten where needed. Principle of least privilege by default.

- Audit logs: Write immutable audit entries for admin actions (create/update/delete on categories/platforms/users). Supports incident response.

# Admin and Ops

- Moderation queue: For public prompts/collections, add a queue for admin review with quick approve/reject and notes. Protects public content quality.

- User management enhancements: Expose roles and ban flags with filters and bulk actions; show last activity to identify dormant or abusive accounts.

- Observability: Standardize edge function logs with structured context and correlation IDs; capture error rates and timings. Add lightweight dashboards for sync health.

# Documentation and Onboarding

- Help center expansion: Include quick start, common tasks, troubleshooting, and a dedicated section on “Prompt Import Format” with validation rules, required/optional fields, example structures, and common error fixes. Add deep links from error messages to exact help topics.

- In‑app tips: Contextual tooltips for tricky fields (negative_prompt, image_params, platform/model). Reduces confusion during editing.

# Accessibility and Internationalization

- Keyboard navigation and shortcuts: Global shortcuts for search, create prompt, toggle views; focus management and skip links. Speeds expert workflows.

- ARIA and contrast: Ensure form controls, toasts, and dialogs meet WCAG guidelines. Improves usability for all users.

- Localization readiness: Abstract user‑visible strings and date/time formats. Even if you start with English, being i18n‑ready prevents future refactors.

# Data and Analytics

- Usage insights: Show users their top prompts, favorites, views, and engagement. For admins, anonymized aggregates like popular categories or platforms.

- Export personal data: Let users export their prompts/collections/favorites as JSON or CSV; supports transparency and portability.

# Mobile Experience

- Responsive polishing: Bottom navigation for mobile, larger touch targets, and simplified list density. Ensures parity across devices.

- Quick actions: Swipe actions for favorites/publish on mobile lists to minimize taps.

# Quality and Tooling

- Validation schemas: Centralize data validation with a schema layer to ensure consistent checks across forms and imports. Prevents drift and subtle bugs.

- Error boundaries and retry: Add error boundaries for critical routes and standard retry patterns for transient errors. Improves resilience.

- Testing: Add unit tests for data transforms and RLS‑sensitive flows; E2E tests for import, publish, and sync. Confidence improves as features grow.

# How to prioritize

- Immediate wins: Import wizard with dry‑run, advanced filters, list virtualization, strict edge auth, and Help center expansion. Low effort, high impact.

- Medium term: Draft/Publish workflow, shared collections with roles, moderation queue, and audit logs.

- Longer term: Full i18n, analytics dashboards, and collaborative comments.
