Imposter 2.0

Choice: Rebuilt from a new design set, schema and empty src/app; 1.x code was deleted, not migrated. A 1.x install starts with an empty history; Pro carries over through the store.

  • Light by default with a dark remap; violet for actions, yellow for money, blue and pink for the two roles.
  • The app takes the vote and keeps a score. A level per pack: easy, medium, hard. Tables are kept so the next game with them is one tap.
  • Online rooms on Firebase, with typed clues and a secret vote (online-rooms). A Cloud Function deals, so no phone holds another player's word.
  • Online is a subscription paid by the host only; Pro stays one payment. The paywall shows once in onboarding, with a way past it.

Why: 1.x had no way out of a round, and the owner judged the look, flow and purchase path wrong. Moving everything at once was cheaper than a half-migrated app.

Rejected: migrating 1.x · chat in V1 (user content needs filtering, reporting and blocking before a store takes it) · "No subscription. No ads. Ever." (remove it from every surface before 2.0 ships).
