MVP Roadmap

1. Database schema (Art, Gallery, Collection)
2. Add art form with image upload
3. Basic gallery views (owned, interested)
4. QR code generation for sharing
5. QR code scanner for adding art
6. Public shareable gallery pages

model Art {
  id          String   @id @default(cuid())
  title       String

  imageUrl    String
  location    String?  // Gallery/event name
  qrCode      String?  @unique // For scanning
  status      ArtStatus
  createdAt   DateTime @default(now())
  updatedAt   DateTime @updatedAt
  shareLinks  ShareLink[]
}

enum ArtStatus {
  OWNED
  INTERESTED
}

model ShareLink {
  id        String      @id @default(cuid())
  type      ShareType
  slug      String      @unique
  artItems  Art[]
  createdAt DateTime    @default(now())
