   - Yes (adds to potential friends list)
   - Maybe (suggest specific activity retry)

# BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

Please build this application with:

1. **Clean, modular code** - Component-based architecture, reusable utilities
2. **Professional UI/UX** - Polished, modern design that looks like a funded startup
3. **Scalable backend** - Proper indexing, optimized queries, caching where needed
4. **Error handling** - Graceful failures, helpful error messages, retry logic
5. **Documentation** - README with setup instructions, API documentation, component docs
6. **Environment configs** - Separate dev/staging/prod configurations
7. **CI/CD ready** - Linting, testing, build scripts
8. **Accessibility** - Screen reader support, proper contrast, keyboard navigation

Prioritize the core features (authentication, events, marketplace, matching) and the three unique differentiators (vibe check, wing mode, friendship tracker) as they're essential for funding.

Build this as if $500K in funding depends on the quality of the prototype - because it does.

START WITH: Authentication flow and basic profile setup, then move to events platform, then marketplace, then matching, then unique features.

Let's build something fundable.
