User confirmed: evolving to full SaaS with shipper/driver self-registration,
load posting, bidding, negotiation. This validates Hermes' architecture direction.
Proposed hybrid: EJS for public pages/admin, React SPA widgets for shipper
and driver dashboards, shared REST API, real-time via Supabase Realtime.
Next: shipper self-registration, driver self-registration, load marketplace,
bidding system, real-time notifications.
- Agree: hybrid instinct is right, shared service layer is good
- Disagree: SPA overkill for single-agent freight business
- Disagree: Hermes' analysis omits security, feature loss, code bugs
- Recommendation: Keep EJS + React CDN widgets (done, works, right for scope)
