Caseback — Where We Stand

One page. Everything done, everything left. Updated Aug 6, 2026.

DONE — in the order it happened

Foundation (the early days)

Built the app: single-page Caseback with feed, wrist checks, collections, profiles, Houses, Market, Journal, games (Under the Hammer, trivia), activity, follows, likes, comments — on Supabase + Netlify.
Founding-hundred system, wax-seal moment, invite links, price guide with 4K-reference catalog, founders dashboard, web push notifications (function deployed; waiting on your env keys).
The original House of Wildes gallery site.

This week — features

MSRP field on watches + Market/MSRP value toggle in My Collection (collection only, per your call).
Market "Top Models" cards now show who owns them — clickable @handles — and count pills on By Brand / By Era.
Search bar tap → recents, trending chips, and member suggestions.
Journal photo fixes (Emperor's Rolex, $31M Watch).
Guest tracking — visitors who never sign in are counted; "visitors at the door" tile in your Ledger.
Ledger tiles open real drill-downs → full member dossier: time in app, days active, everything they've liked, posts, comments, follows, searches, collection value.
Make-a-keeper — you can appoint/remove moderators from the dossier.
Games moved last in Explore; endless feed (reference-desk cards forever).
Compose rebuilt IG-style: two steps (photo first → caption/ritual/wearing), camera-roll request, Recents grid, wear-count tally per watch on profiles.
Green clock-tick compose medallion; desktop nav = floating island that expands on hover.
Badges — 12 earnable; each member displays their chosen three.
Price charts redesigned (smooth curve, gold gradient) and now open when you click any watch anywhere.
Business inquiry box ("write to the house" → Letters in your Mod tab) + Foundry featured micro-brand section with your admin manager.

This week — infrastructure

Bought joincaseback.com (app) and houseofwildes.com (gallery, linking to the app). Both Google-verified, auto-renew on.
Apple Developer enrollment approved → iOS app built (Capacitor wrap, icons, permissions, privacy page at joincaseback.com/privacy). Zip is in your Caseback folder.
Signup bug diagnosed: Supabase's built-in mailer was failing (why Will couldn't join). Fixed the messaging, then set up Resend on mail.joincaseback.com — DNS added, domain now Verified. One paste from you and confirmation emails work.
All 17 key files saved to your Desktop/Caseback folder (app, gallery, iOS project, deploy zips, icons, keys, dashboard, IG kit, README).

Finish email: fill in the Supabase SMTP settings (doing now) — then emails send the moment you paste the key (your step 1 below).
Finish your Instagram: content is my job now — I'll produce the nine launch posts as finished images (the mark, price-chart card, Journal pull-quote, guess-the-ref crops, badge card, invitation card) + captions ready to paste, and a posting calendar. You only create the account and tap post.
Wire Google's mail records into your DNS the moment you sign up for Workspace (your step 3).
eBay price API — approval expected today; once you paste the keys into Netlify, real sold-listing data flows into the price guide.
Watch-of-the-week voting, weekly email digest (unblocked once email is live), monthly price refresh (Sep 1).
iOS follow-through: walk you through first Xcode run, then the App Store listing; later, native camera-roll grid + native push.

Paste the Resend API key into Supabase (2 min): resend.com → API keys → Create → copy. I'll have the SMTP page filled and open — you paste into the password box, hit Save. Then have Will retry Create Account.
Claim the Instagram handle — @joincaseback (your pick). Account creation has to be you.
Business Gmail — here's the answer I owed you: sign up for Google Workspace Business Starter (~$7/mo) at workspace.google.com with the domain joincaseback.com → gives you real Gmail as phillip@joincaseback.com. I add the MX records after; it won't touch the Resend setup (that lives on its own subdomain). Free interim option: ImprovMX forwards phillip@joincaseback.com → your Gmail at no cost, but you can't send from the address. My advice: Workspace — you're making brand deals; the address is credibility.
Add your first Foundry brands in the Mod tab manager (name, one line, image, link).
iOS on your Mac: install Xcode → unzip caseback-ios.zip → I'll guide the rest.
When eBay approval lands: paste the two keys into Netlify (I'll point exactly where).
Someday-pile: LLC ("House of Wildes") → convert Apple membership to an org account; Supabase Pro when the house fills up.
