Karaoke App - Product Requirements Document

Platform-Agnostic Business Logic & Firebase Architecture
For implementation details, see platform-specific PRDs in platforms/ folder

This document defines the core business logic, data models, and Firebase architecture for the Karaoke App. All platform-specific implementation details are documented in separate platform PRDs.


How to Use This PRD

For AI-Assisted Development:

  1. Read this PRD completely for core business logic and Firebase structure
  2. Choose your platform and read the corresponding platform PRD:
    • Web: platforms/web/PRD-web.md
    • iOS: platforms/ios/PRD-ios.md (future)
    • Android: platforms/android/PRD-android.md (future)
  3. Follow the implementation guide in Section 29
  4. Reference design assets in the platform-specific design folder

For Human Developers:

  • Reference during implementation for business logic and data flows
  • Guide for architecture decisions and technology choices
  • Source of truth for all functional requirements
  • Migration guide when switching frameworks/platforms

1. Purpose

This document defines the functional, technical, and UX requirements for the Karaoke App, designed for in-home party use. The app leverages Firebase Realtime Database for real-time synchronization, with all business logic and validation handled client-side.

Core Principles:

  • Platform-Agnostic Design - Core requirements work on any platform
  • Real-time Synchronization - All clients stay in sync via Firebase
  • Client-Side Business Logic - All validation and rules enforced in app
  • Single Session Focus - Designed for one-party-at-a-time use
  • Admin/User Role System - Different permissions for different users

2. Scope & Business Objectives

Primary Goals:

  • Deliver a single-session karaoke experience where users connect to a controller and manage/search songs
  • Utilize Firebase for real-time multi-user synchronization of queues, history, and playback state
  • Prioritize fast performance, reusable modular architecture, and clear business logic separation
  • Enable adding songs from multiple entry points (search, history, top played, favorites, new songs, artists, song lists)
  • Ensure graceful handling of Firebase sync issues using retry patterns and partial node updates

Architecture Principles:

  • True Separation of Concerns - UI components only handle presentation
  • Reusable Business Logic - Business rules implemented in platform-agnostic services
  • Testable Code - Business logic separated from UI for easy testing
  • Maintainability - Changes to logic don't affect UI
  • Performance - Optimized data access and state management
  • Type Safety - Strong typing throughout the codebase
  • Single Responsibility - Each file has one clear purpose

3. User Roles & Permissions

Core Requirements (Platform-Agnostic):

Two User Roles:

  1. Host/Admin - Full control over the karaoke session
  2. Singer/User - Can add songs and view content

Admin Permissions:

  • Queue Management - Reorder or delete queue items
  • Playback Control - Play, pause, stop the music
  • Singer Management - Add or remove singers
  • Settings Access - Change player settings (autoadvance, userpick)
  • Song Management - Disable or enable songs

User Permissions:

  • Add Songs - Add songs to queue from any source
  • View Content - Browse songs, history, favorites, etc.
  • Manage Favorites - Add/remove personal favorites

Business Rules:

  • First Queue Item Protection - Cannot be deleted while playing (only when stopped/paused)
  • Automatic Singer Addition - Singers are automatically added to the list when they join
  • Admin Access Control - Admin mode is a privileged state (see platform details for implementation)

Platform Implementation:

  • Web: See platforms/web/PRD-web.md#authentication for React/Ionic implementation
  • iOS: See platforms/ios/PRD-ios.md#authentication (future)

5. Data Models

Data models are defined externally in:

types.ts

This file contains TypeScript interfaces describing:

  • Song — Core song data with artist, title, path, and metadata
  • QueueItem — Queue entries with order, singer, and song data
  • Singer — User information with name and last login
  • SongList — Predefined song collections with metadata
  • SongListSong — Individual songs within a song list
  • TopPlayed — Popular songs with play count
  • Controller — Main object containing all app data
  • PlayerState — Playback status enum (Playing, Paused, Stopped)
  • Authentication — User session data with admin status
  • Settings — Player settings (autoadvance, userpick)

Key Data Relationships:

  • Songs are identified by their path field for duplicate prevention
  • Queue items have sequential order values for proper ordering
  • All data is stored as Firebase records with string keys
  • History tracks play dates and counts for each song

6. Firebase Realtime Database Structure

Defined externally in:

firebase_schema.json

Complete Structure:

controllers: {
  [controllerName]: {
    favorites: Record<string, Song>,
    history: Record<string, Song>,
    topPlayed: Record<string, TopPlayed>,
    newSongs: Record<string, Song>,
    disabledSongs: Record<string, DisabledSong>,
    player: { 
      queue: Record<string, QueueItem>,
      settings: Settings,
      singers: Record<string, Singer>,
      state: Player
    },
    songList: Record<string, SongList>,
    songs: Record<string, Song>
  }
}

Data Flow:

  • Initial Sync: Loads the complete controller object on connection
  • Real-time Updates: Subscribes to specific nodes for incremental updates
  • Key Management: Uses sequential numerical keys for queue items
  • Auto-initialization: Creates empty controller structure if none exists

Empty Controller Structure:

{
  "favorites": {},
  "history": {},
  "topPlayed": {},
  "newSongs": {},
  "disabledSongs": {},
  "player": {
    "queue": {},
    "settings": {
      "autoadvance": false,
      "userpick": false
    },
    "singers": {},
    "state": {
      "state": "stopped"
    }
  },
  "songList": {},
  "songs": {}
}

Key Generation Rules:

  • Queue Items: Sequential numerical keys (0, 1, 2, ...)
  • Top Played: sanitizedArtist_sanitizedTitle (lowercase, trimmed, invalid chars replaced with _)
  • Disabled Songs: Hash of song path (simple character-based hash)
  • Singers: Firebase push IDs (auto-generated)

Character Sanitization for Top Played Keys:

  • Replace invalid Firebase characters [.#$/[\]] with _
  • Convert to lowercase and trim whitespace
  • Format: ${sanitizedArtist}_${sanitizedTitle}
