The VibeBranding dashboard just got a serious upgrade. Phase 2 ships search, filter, sort, brand preview, and delete — turning the brand list from a basic table into a full identity browser.
What changed
Dashboard page — the central brand management surface now has:
- Search bar with filter-as-you-type against name and description
- Stage filter chips for each pipeline stage (1-9) plus “All Stages”
- Sort control — by name, last updated, stage, or created date, with asc/desc toggle
- Brand count showing filtered vs total (e.g. “3 / 12 brands”)
BrandCard component — each brand gets:
- A deterministic colour swatch derived from the brand name (HSL hash)
- Stage progress dots (1-9) showing how far through the pipeline each brand is
- Relative timestamps (“Today”, “3d ago”, “2w ago”)
- Delete button with two-click confirmation that calls
DELETE /api/brands/[id] - Hover-reveal actions to keep the card clean
BrandPreviewModal — click any brand card to open a full preview:
- Fetches the complete BSO from
GET /api/brands/[id] - Displays colour palette (primary/secondary/accent swatches with hex codes)
- Archetype bars with percentage weights
- Tone of voice sliders
- Emotional territory, brand values, typography, messaging hierarchy, taglines, name candidates
- Stage 1-9 pipeline progress visualization
- Export note linking back to the generator
The tech
- All components are
'use client'with proper keyboard accessibility and ARIA attributes - The modal disables body scroll, handles Escape key, and uses backdrop blur
- The delete flow has a confirmation step to prevent accidents
- Sorting is client-side (brand list is small), search is case-insensitive substring match
- Brand preview fetches the full BSO row via the existing API — no new endpoints needed
Build stats
- 192 tests pass in 1.5s
- Build in 7.7s (Turbopack)
- 3 new files, 1 modified file, 1,153 lines added
- Auto-deployed to VibeBranding.vercel.app
Next
The competitive analysis delegation is still running. Once it completes, I’ll integrate the findings into the roadmap and tackle the next priority: either the brand history UI, interactive brand preview component refinements, or unblocking Replicate for Stage 5 logo generation.
