A competent coding agent can rebuild Draftroom's core agency workflow in a weekend: clients, projects, tasks, file versions, contextual feedback, review queues, approvals, client review links, delivery tracking, and workspace permissions. The gap is not the CRUD screens; it is production-grade collaboration, notification reliability, permission edge cases, file handling, mobile review polish, and the accumulated project history that makes a shared agency system dependable every day.

the prompt
Build a working web app called Draftroom, an opinionated creative project-management system for marketing agencies and high-volume content teams.
Use Remix + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS + Prisma + PostgreSQL; use Supabase Auth for login and Supabase Storage for uploaded files, with every secret in .env.
Make it multi-tenant: users belong to a workspace through Membership records and must never be able to read or mutate another workspace's data.
Use this core data model: User, Workspace, Membership, Client, Project, Task, TaskAssignee, TaskReviewer, FileAsset, FileVersion, Comment, Approval, ReviewLink, Notification, and ActivityEvent.
Workspace roles are OWNER and MEMBER; external clients normally use scoped review links instead of full workspace accounts.
Users can create clients, create projects under clients, invite teammates, archive clients/projects, and see only work inside their workspace.
Tasks need title, description, status, priority, assignees, reviewers, startDate, dueDate, deliveryDate, createdAt, updatedAt, attachments, comments, and activity.
Use the workflow BACKLOG → TODO → IN_PROGRESS → IN_REVIEW → APPROVED → DELIVERED and allow drag-and-drop Kanban movement plus a compact list view.
Add a content calendar that plots tasks by due/delivery date and lets users open the same task detail drawer from calendar, list, or Kanban.
Build My Work for the signed-in user; show assigned tasks grouped by status and sort by due date, then delivery date, start date, updatedAt, then title.
Task detail should open as a fast drawer and support editing fields, assignees/reviewers, comments, attachments, version history, approvals, and activity without losing board context.
Files belong to tasks/projects; every replacement upload creates FileVersion v0, v1, v2... while preserving old versions and clearly marking the current version.
Comments can be attached to a task or a specific file/version and have INTERNAL or CLIENT_VISIBLE visibility so team discussion can remain private.
Reviewers need a Review queue for IN_REVIEW work and can Approve or Request Changes with a required/optional comment; approval state and decision history must be visible.
Generate secure expiring /review/:token links for selected files; the mobile-first review page needs no client account and allows only the permissions encoded in the link: view, comment, approve/request changes.
Review links must reveal no unrelated workspace/project data, use random non-guessable tokens, support revocation/expiry, and rate-limit write actions.
Record task creation/edits, assignments, status moves, uploads, new versions, comments, review decisions, link creation/revocation, and delivery in an ActivityEvent timeline.
Add in-app notifications for assignments, mentions, review requests, comments, approvals, requested changes, and approaching due dates; mark read/unread.
Dashboard should show active projects, overdue work, due soon, waiting for review, approved/ready to deliver, recent activity, and quick links into the filtered work.
Use optimistic UI for common mutations, skeleton/loading states, helpful empty/error states, responsive layouts, keyboard-accessible controls, and a dense calm interface closer to Linear/WhatsApp Web than enterprise PM software.
Create routes for /login, /app, /app/my-work, /app/calendar, /app/clients, /app/clients/:clientId, /app/projects/:projectId, /app/review, /app/settings/members, and public /review/:token.
There must be no platform super-admin system: do not create /admin, /super-admin, impersonation, global user/workspace management, super-admin DB roles, middleware, APIs, or related code.
Deliberately exclude billing/subscriptions, attendance/payroll, time tracking, resource planning, Gantt charts, AI agents, email/calendar integrations, SSO, advanced analytics, white-labeling, and Frame.io-style frame-accurate media annotation.
Seed one demo agency with 5 members, 3 clients, multiple projects, realistic marketing tasks, several file versions, comments, review decisions, notifications, and activity so every flow is testable immediately.
Add Prisma migrations, indexes/constraints for tenant safety and common filters, secure server-side authorization helpers, file validation, and tests for cross-workspace access plus review-link permissions.
Add a README with setup, env vars, Supabase configuration, migration/seed commands and run/deploy instructions; then run lint/typecheck/tests/build and fix failures.
Before finishing, verify the complete loop works: create workspace → client → project → task → assign → upload versions → internal feedback → review → client link → approval/changes → delivered.

why people still pay

The basic mechanics are straightforward to recreate, but an agency does not pay for a Kanban board in isolation. It pays for a shared workflow that designers, account managers, founders, freelancers, and clients can trust every day. Reliable permissions, version history, review links, approval state, notifications, mobile behavior, file handling, and the cost of moving active client work make the hosted product more valuable than a weekend clone once the whole team depends on it.

what you lose

xProduction-hardened real-time and notification behavior across many simultaneous users

xYears of edge-case handling around client permissions, review links, files, revisions, and approvals

xPolished mobile review and collaboration behavior that non-technical clients can use without training

xOperational history, project context, and team habits already accumulated inside an existing Draftroom workspace

xEnterprise features such as SSO, advanced reporting, white-labeling, onboarding, and support
