• Export Service: Available from Epic 2
• Frontend Auth: Context and protected routes ready

🚀 Quick Start Commands

# Backend setup
cd apps/youtube-summarizer/backend

# 1. Update Summary model with new fields
# Edit: backend/models/summary.py

# 2. Create and run migration
alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add history management fields to summaries"
alembic upgrade head

# 3. Create API endpoints
# Create: backend/api/summaries.py

# Frontend setup
cd ../frontend

# 4. Install required dependencies
npm install @tanstack/react-table date-fns recharts

# 5. Create history components
# Create: src/pages/history/SummaryHistoryPage.tsx
# Create: src/components/summaries/...

# 6. Add routing
# Update: src/App.tsx to include history route

📋 Implementation Checklist

Phase 1: Database & Backend (Day 1-2)

Database Updates

• Add new columns to Summary model
  • is_starred (Boolean, indexed)
  • notes (Text)
  • tags (JSON array)
  • shared_token (String, unique)
  • is_public (Boolean)
  • view_count (Integer)
• Create composite indexes for performance
• Generate and apply Alembic migration
• Test migration rollback/forward

API Endpoints

• Create /api/summaries router
• Implement endpoints:
  • GET /api/summaries - List with pagination
  • GET /api/summaries/{id} - Get single summary
  • PUT /api/summaries/{id} - Update (star, notes, tags)
  • DELETE /api/summaries/{id} - Delete summary
  • POST /api/summaries/bulk-delete - Bulk delete
  • GET /api/summaries/search - Advanced search
  • GET /api/summaries/starred - Starred only
  • POST /api/summaries/{id}/share - Generate share link
  • GET /api/summaries/shared/{token} - Public access
  • GET /api/summaries/export - Export data
  • GET /api/summaries/stats - Usage statistics

Phase 2: Frontend Components (Day 2-3)

Page Structure

• Create SummaryHistoryPage.tsx
• Setup routing in App.tsx
• Add navigation link to history

Core Components

• SummaryList.tsx - Main list with virtualization
• SummaryCard.tsx - Individual summary display
• SummarySearch.tsx - Search and filter UI
• SummaryDetails.tsx - Modal/drawer for full view
• SummaryActions.tsx - Star, share, delete buttons
• BulkActions.tsx - Multi-select toolbar
• ExportDialog.tsx - Export configuration
• UsageStats.tsx - Statistics dashboard

Hooks & Services

• useSummaryHistory.ts - Data fetching with React Query
• useSummarySearch.ts - Search state management
• useSummaryActions.ts - CRUD operations
• summaryAPI.ts - API client methods

Phase 3: Features Implementation (Day 3-4)

Search & Filter

• Text search across title and content
• Date range filter
• Tag-based filtering
• Model filter (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Sort options (date, title, duration)

Actions & Operations

• Star/unstar with optimistic updates
• Add/edit notes
• Tag management
• Single delete with confirmation
• Bulk selection UI
• Bulk delete with confirmation

Sharing System

• Generate unique share tokens
• Public/private toggle
• Copy share link to clipboard
• Share expiration (optional)
• View counter for shared summaries

Export Functionality

• JSON export
• CSV export
• ZIP archive with all formats
• Filtered export based on current view
• Progress indicator for large exports

Phase 4: Polish & Testing (Day 4-5)

UI/UX Polish

• Loading states and skeletons
• Empty states with helpful messages
• Error handling with retry options
• Mobile responsive design
• Dark mode support
• Keyboard shortcuts (?, /, j/k navigation)
• Accessibility (ARIA labels, focus management)

Performance Optimization

• Implement virtual scrolling for long lists
• Add debouncing to search
• Optimize database queries with proper indexes
• Add caching for frequently accessed data
• Lazy load summary details

Testing

• Backend unit tests for all endpoints
• Frontend component tests
• Integration tests for critical flows
• Manual testing checklist
• Performance testing with 100+ summaries
• Mobile device testing

🎨 UI Component Structure

// SummaryHistoryPage.tsx
<div className="container mx-auto p-6">
  <div className="flex justify-between items-center mb-6">
    <h1>Summary History</h1>
    <UsageStats />
  </div>
  
  <div className="flex gap-4 mb-6">
    <SummarySearch />
    <ExportButton />
  </div>
  
  <BulkActions />
  
  <SummaryList>
    {summaries.map(summary => (
      <SummaryCard 
        key={summary.id}
        summary={summary}
        actions={<SummaryActions />}
      />
    ))}
  </SummaryList>
  
  <Pagination />
</div>

🔍 Key Technical Decisions

Pagination Strategy

• Cursor-based: Better for real-time data and performance
• Page size: 20 items default, configurable
• Infinite scroll: Option for mobile

Search Implementation

• Client-side: For small datasets (<100 items)
• Server-side: For larger datasets with full-text search
• Hybrid: Cache recent searches client-side

State Management

• React Query: For server state and caching
• Local state: For UI state (selections, filters)
• URL state: For shareable filtered views

Export Formats

• JSON: Complete data with all fields
• CSV: Flattened structure for spreadsheets
• Markdown: Human-readable summaries
• ZIP: Bundle of all formats

🐛 Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. N+1 Queries: Use eager loading for user relationships
2. Large Payload: Paginate and limit fields in list view
3. Stale Data: Implement proper cache invalidation
4. Lost Filters: Persist filter state in URL
5. Slow Search: Add database indexes for search fields
6. Memory Leaks: Cleanup subscriptions and observers
7. Race Conditions: Handle rapid star/unstar clicks

📚 Resources

• React Query Pagination
• Tanstack Table
• Virtualization with react-window
• PostgreSQL Full-Text Search
