Great choice! Let’s tailor the plan for an **e-commerce platform**.

Here's a
detailed roadmap:

### **Core Features (MVP)**:


1. **User Authentication**:
- User registration, login, logout (JWT-based).
- Role-based access (Admin and Customer).

2. **Product Management**:
- Admin can add, edit, delete products.
- Product details: title, description, price, images, category, stock, etc.

3. **Product Catalog**:
- View products with categories, pagination, and search functionality.

4. **Shopping Cart**:
- Add/remove items.
- Cart persistence (stored in local storage or user profile).

5. **Checkout System**:
- Address input.
- Order summary and payment simulation (e.g., fake payment gateway).

6. **Order Management**:
- Customers: View order history.
- Admin: View/manage orders.

7. **Responsive Design**:
- Mobile-first, optimized with Tailwind CSS.

### **Future Enhancements**:


1. **Real Payment Gateway Integration**:
- Use Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay.

2. **Advanced Search and Filtering**:


- Price range, categories, ratings, etc.

3. **Product Reviews and Ratings**:


- Customers can leave reviews.

4. **Wishlist Functionality**:
- Allow users to save items for later.

5. **Admin Dashboard**:

### **System Design**:


**Frontend**:
- React + Tailwind CSS for UI.
- React Router for navigation.
- State Management:
- Local state for small components.
- Redux Toolkit or Context API for global state (e.g., cart).

**Backend**:
- Node.js with Express.js.
- RESTful APIs for product, cart, and order management.
- Authentication and Authorization middleware.

**Database**:
- MongoDB (cloud-hosted via MongoDB Atlas).
- Example collections:
- **Users**: `id`, `name`, `email`, `passwordHash`, `role`, etc.
- **Products**: `id`, `title`, `description`, `price`, `images`, `stock`, etc.
- **Orders**: `id`, `userId`, `items`, `totalPrice`, `address`, `status`.
