# JobRant Teams - Collaborative Side Project Network

## Concept
Job seekers don't justrant - they BUILD. Create "secret teams" to collaborate on side projects, share progress, and turn unemployment into opportunity. Companies pay to see what talent is building on the side.

## Data Models

### Team
- id, name, description, isSecret, companyRelated (optional)
- inviteCode (for secret teams)
- createdAt, creatorId

### TeamMembership  
- teamId, userId, role (founder, member, contributor)
- joinedAt

### Project
- id, teamId, name, description, githubUrl, liveUrl
- status (planning, in-progress, launched, abandoned)
- companyRelated (company this project competes with or is inspired by)
- lookingFor (skills needed)
- createdAt, creatorId

### ProjectComment
- id, projectId, userId, content, createdAt

### TeamChat (private team chat)
- id, teamId, userId, content, createdAt

## Features

### Team Creation
- Public teams: Anyone can join
- Secret teams: Invite code required
- "Shadow hiring" - companies can see what teams are building
- Each team has: name, description, skills looking for, current projects

### Project Board per Team
- Post projects with GitHub/live links
- Skills needed ("Looking for: React dev, designer")
- Progress status
- Company comparison: "We're building a better X than Company Y"

### Collaboration
- Comment on projects
- Express interest in joining
- Upvote projects
- Team chat for members

### Monetization Angles
- Companies pay to POST projects ("Build our competitor cheaper")
- Companies pay to VIEW secret teams
- Companies pay to RECRUIT from successful project teams
- Users collaborate for FREE (builds portfolio)
- Premium: Private team chat history, analytics

## Pages

- /teams - Browse/filter teams
- /teams/[id] - Team detail + projects
- /teams/create - Create new team
- /teams/join/[code] - Join secret team
- /chat - Enhanced live chat with channels
