# MyClub Mobile - Unified Club Hub (React Native / Expo)

MyClub Mobile is a **single, unified mobile app for all football clubs** running the MyClub platform. Users can discover and access any MyClub-supported club from one app, with three distinct access modes: Guest browsing, Fan portal, or Admin tools.

## Vision
One app to rule all MyClub clubs. Users discover clubs through our directory API, pin their favorites to a personal homepage, and access club-specific features based on their access level.

## Access Modes

### **Guest Mode** (Default)
- Browse club information, news, matches, and announcements
- View public content without registration
- **Call-to-action**: "Register on our website for full access"

### **Fan Mode** (Authenticated)
- Full fan portal experience
- QR ticket passes for entry (offline-capable)
- Match ordering, notifications, and personalized content
- Syncs with web account for seamless experience

### **Admin Mode** (Staff Only)
- QR code scanner for ticket validation
- Mobile admin management tools
- Real-time verification and gate control
- Port of web admin functionality optimized for mobile

## How It Works

1. **Club Discovery**: On first launch, users browse all active MyClub clubs via our directory API
2. **Club Pinning**: Users pin clubs to their personal homepage for quick access
3. **Access Selection**: For each club, users choose:
   - **Guest** - Browse public content
   - **Fan Login** - Connect to web account for full features
   - **Admin Login** - Staff access to validation tools
4. **Unified Experience**: All navigation, theming, and API calls adapt to the selected club context
