1. Project Ka Main Goal (What are we building?)
Hum Lingel company ke liye ek Digital Asset Management (DAM) Portal bana rahe hain. Iska main maqsad yeh hai ki Lingel ki sales aur marketing team kisi bhi client ke saamne baithe ho, toh woh bina kisi buffering ke apne high-quality creatives, videos, aur project reels unko show kar sakein. Portal dikhne mein premium, futuristic aur fast hona chahiye.

2. Architecture & Heavy Data Handling (TBs of Data)
Kyunki data Terabytes (TBs) mein hai aur weekly naya data upload hoga, isliye hum aam server storage use nahi kar rahe.

Storage: Hum Cloudflare R2 (Cloud Object Storage) use karenge. Isse data jitna marzi badhe, system crash nahi hoga, aur streaming ka koi extra bill (zero egress fee) nahi aayega.

Hosting: Core system (Laravel aur Database) aapke existing cPanel server par host hoga.

Smart Uploading: Kyunki cPanel badi files (e.g., 2GB video) par timeout de deta hai, hum uploader ko aisa design karenge ki admin ka uploaded data cPanel ko bypass karke direct Cloudflare R2 mein save ho jaye.

3. Security & Login (Strict Access)
Yeh ek internal company portal hai. Koi bhi aam public isko access nahi kar sakti.

Sirf Lingel ke employees jinke paas official domain wali email ID (e.g., @lingel.com) hai, wahi Google Login (OAuth) ke through access kar payenge. Koi manual password system nahi hoga taaki security leak na ho.

4. Categorization (The Excel Sheet Data)
Client ne jo Excel sheet di hai, uske hisaab se saara data systematically organized hoga.

Categories hongi jaise: Aluminium 6.0, uPVC, Skylight, Bullet Proof Glass, Roller Shutter, etc.

Jab admin portal par koi media daalega, toh usko inhi categories mein assign karega.

5. UI/UX & Frontend Experience
Portal ke do main hisse honge:

Admin Panel: Jahan se backend team easily naye creatives, reels aur videos upload karegi, categories banayegi, aur users (employees) manage karegi.

Employee Showcase Panel: Yeh frontend hoga jo client ko dikhaya jayega. Ekdum clean, Netflix ya Pinterest jaisa grid layout. Fast search bar hoga jisse employee turant "uPVC Sliding" search karke video chala sake.

6. Tech Stack (Jo hum use kar rahe hain)
Backend Framework: Laravel 11 (Strictly).

Database: MySQL (lingel_db WAMP par ready hai).

Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (custom or template based).

Local Environment: WAMP Server, VS Code.

1. Project Ka Main Goal (Digital Asset Management)
Hum Lingel ki sales/marketing team ke liye ek fast aur premium portal bana rahe hain. Iska maqsad hai ki employee client ke saamne baithe toh bina kisi buffering ke uPVC, Aluminium, ya Glass Houses ki high-quality videos aur creatives showcase kar sake.

2. Architecture & Storage (Jahan TBs data safe rahega)
The Split System: Code aur Database aapke cPanel par rahega, aur saari heavy videos/images Cloudflare R2 par rahengi.

Cost Saving & Speed: Cloudflare R2 mein bandwidth (streaming) free hai. Client kitni bhi video dekhe, bill sirf storage (₹1250/TB) ka aayega.

Direct Upload Bypass: Kyunki cPanel badi files par timeout de deta hai, admin panel ka uploader video ko cPanel se bypass karke direct Cloudflare R2 mein bheja karega taaki 2GB-5GB ki file bhi smoothly upload ho jaye.

3. 🆕 Security & Role-Based Access (Kaun kya kar sakta hai)
Portal par entry sirf unko milegi jinke paas @lingel.com ka official email hoga (Google Login ke through). Entry ke baad roles aise divide honge:

Super Admin: Portal ka boss. Yeh videos upload/delete kar sakta hai, naye users approve kar sakta hai, aur categories (Excel wali) manage kar sakta hai.

Uploader / Manager (Optional): Yeh sirf videos aur creatives upload kar sakte hain, par kisi user ko delete ya manage nahi kar sakte.

Employee / Viewer (Sales Team): Inke paas sirf "View" aur "Share" ka access hoga. Yeh client ko video dikha sakte hain aur search kar sakte hain, par kuch bhi delete ya upload nahi kar sakte.

4. Categorization System (Excel Sheet Data)
Jo Excel sheet aapne di hai, portal usi structure par chalega:

Main Categories (e.g., uPVC, Skylight, Roller Shutter, Bullet Proof Glass).

Jab bhi admin/manager koi asset (video/image) upload karega, toh woh compulsory inhi mein se kisi ek category ko tag karega.

5. UI/UX (Dikhne mein kaisa hoga)
Employee Dashboard (Frontend): Ekdum clean, premium, Pinterest/Netflix jaisa grid. Upar ek fast search bar hoga. Niche categories ke cards honge. Click karte hi bina load hue videos pop-up player mein chalni chahiye.

Admin Panel (Backend): Ek solid aur simple dashboard jahan left sidebar mein 'Manage Users', 'Manage Categories', aur 'Upload Media' ke options honge. Media upload ke liye ek bada drag-and-drop box hoga.

6. Tech Stack (Apne Tools)
Framework: Laravel 11.

Database: MySQL (Local pe WAMP, live pe cPanel).

Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (FilePond ya Dropzone.js direct uploader ke liye).	

Is naye aur final decision ke baad, yeh raha aapke "Lingel DAM Portal" ka Final Master Blueprint:

🏛️ 1. Core Architecture & Storage (The Backbone)
Hosting Server: Aapka cPanel (Laravel 11 aur MySQL database yahan run hoga).

Media Storage (TBs of Data): Cloudflare R2. (Kyunki yahan storage sasti hai aur video streaming/bandwidth ka cost zero hai).

Direct Upload Bypass: Admin cPanel par timeout se bachne ke liye badi files direct browser se Cloudflare R2 par push karega (FilePond/Dropzone.js ke zariye).

🔐 2. Authentication & Security (The New Manual Logic)
Google Auth hat chuka hai. Ab traditional aur highly secure system banega:

Custom Login Page: Portal khulte hi ek premium login screen aayegi (Email aur Password ke liye).

Account Creation: Bahar se koi bhi "Sign Up" ya "Register" nahi kar sakta. Naya account sirf aap (Super Admin) portal ke andar se banaoge aur employee ko uska Email-Password WhatsApp ya mail par doge.

👥 3. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
System mein strictly 3 level ke log honge:

Super Admin (Aap/Boss): Sab kuch kar sakta hai. Naye users banana, unke passwords set karna, categories manage karna, aur sabhi videos upload/delete karna.

Uploader / Manager: Nayi videos/creatives upload kar sakta hai aur edit kar sakta hai. Par naye employees ka account nahi bana sakta.

Viewer (Sales Team / Employee): Sirf login karke client ko videos dikha sakta hai aur files download/share kar sakta hai. Upload ya delete ka koi button inko nahi dikhega.

📁 4. The Excel Categorization
Data ka pura structure usi Excel sheet par base hoga:

Main Categories (uPVC, Aluminium, Skylight, Bullet Proof Glass, etc.).

Upload karte waqt admin ko dropdown se inme se ek category select karni hogi.

🖥️ 5. UI / UX Design (Dikhne mein kaisa hoga)
Frontend (Sales Dashboard): Ekdum fast aur premium (Netflix/Pinterest style). Upar ek powerful search bar, niche categories ke filter buttons, aur videos ka grid. Video par click karte hi fast popup player.

Backend (Admin Dashboard): Left sidebar navigation jisme options honge: Dashboard, Manage Users, Manage Categories, Upload Assets.
