This document provides a high-level overview of the JackerBox project status, implementation plans, and next steps.
JackerBox is a Next.js application for equipment rental marketplace that enables:
- Users to list equipment for rent
- Users to browse and rent equipment
- Secure payment processing via Stripe
- Messaging between renters and owners
- Notifications for important events
The application has been developed with the following key technologies:
- Next.js 15.2.0 (App Router)
- PostgreSQL (via Prisma ORM)
- Redis for caching and real-time features
- Cloudinary for image storage
- Stripe for payment processing
- TypeScript for type safety
| Integration | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudinary | ✅ | Correctly configured with cloud name "dgtqpyphg" |
| Stripe | Functional but webhooks need proper configuration | |
| Redis | ✅ | Connected and functional |
| Database | ✅ | Connected but optimization needed |
| Error Monitoring | ❌ | Not yet implemented |
We have created comprehensive plans for implementing and testing different aspects of the application:
-
