Project #3 — Klutch Admin Dashboard

Inspiration

Most small business admin tools assume you have a desk, a laptop, and uninterrupted time. Running Klutch Konnect, I usually have a phone and five minutes between deliveries — so that’s what I built for.

What it does

Lets me create orders, generate tracking IDs, update delivery status, and search order history — entirely from a phone, optimized for one-handed use during an actual workday, not a desk session.

How I built it

Connects to Supabase via authenticated sessions. Every admin action — creating an order, updating a status — writes directly to the same orders table that powers the public DropsEx tracking page, so there’s one source of truth across both.

Challenges I ran into

Session isolation was the big one — making sure my admin login never leaked into the public tracking experience. This became a real production bug (customers getting 401 errors) before I caught and fixed it by explicitly separating session persistence between the two client instances.

Accomplishments that I’m proud of

Catching and fixing that session bug through actual production use, not a testing environment — it revealed exactly how the system behaves under real conditions.

What I learned

Mobile-first isn’t just a responsive design checkbox — it changes what interactions you prioritize entirely. Big touch targets, minimal typing, fast status updates over detailed forms.

What’s next for Klutch Admin Dashboard

Adding a simple analytics view — orders per week, top products — so I can make inventory decisions without manually reviewing the Supabase table.
