# 1. Introduction
This document outlines the architectural approach for enhancing Lin with UI/UX improvements, keyword relevance analysis, and upgraded image generation capabilities. Its primary goal is to serve as the guiding architectural blueprint for AI-driven development of new features while ensuring seamless integration with the existing system.
**Relationship to Existing Architecture:**
This document supplements existing project architecture by defining how new components will integrate with current systems. Where conflicts arise between new and existing patterns, this document provides guidance on maintaining consistency while implementing enhancements.
### 1.1 Existing Project Analysis
Based on my analysis of your project, I've identified the following about your existing system:
- The application is a LinkedIn community management tool with React frontend and Flask backend
- Uses Supabase for authentication and database
- Has established AI content generation using Gradio client
- Current image generation uses Qwen/Qwen-Image model
- Well-structured with clear separation of concerns between frontend and backend
- Has established API patterns and Redux state management
Please confirm these observations are accurate before I proceed with architectural recommendations.
#### Current Project State
- **Primary Purpose:** LinkedIn community management tool with AI-powered content generation
- **Current Tech Stack:** React (frontend), Flask (backend), Supabase (database/auth), Gradio client (AI integration)
- **Architecture Style:** Microservices-like with clear separation between frontend and backend
- **Deployment Method:** Docker with docker-compose, with Nginx reverse proxy
#### Available Documentation
- README.md: Complete project documentation with setup instructions
- Backend README.md: Detailed backend API documentation
- Frontend README.md: Frontend development guide
- docs/prd.md: Product requirements document
#### Identified Constraints
- Must maintain backward compatibility with existing user workflows
- Authentication system is based on JWT tokens and Supabase
- Image generation currently uses Qwen model through Gradio client
- Existing API patterns must be preserved
