### Component Development Priorities

Based on the todo lists and review of existing pages, the following components should be developed first:

1. **Rich Text Editor** - Essential for blog post creation and editing
   - With proper formatting controls
   - Image upload support
   - Markdown support

2. **Dashboard Components** - For editorial management
   - Standardized StatCard
   - Content management tables
   - Action menus with proper permissions

   - With line numbering
   - Version comparison
   - Metadata editor

4. **Comment System** - For user engagement
   - Thread view
   - Moderation tools
   - User context

5. **User Profile Components** - For user management
   - Profile editor
   - Stats visualization
   - Activity history

## Implementation Recommendations

1. **Create Component Templates**
   - Develop standardized templates for new components
   - Include prop definitions, stories, and tests

2. **Implement Component Documentation**
   - Add JSDoc comments to all components
   - Consider using Storybook for component documentation

3. **Standardize Component Patterns**
   - Form components should follow a consistent pattern
   - List/table components should have consistent filtering and pagination
   - Modal/dialog components should have consistent behavior

4. **Accessibility Focus**
   - Ensure all components have proper ARIA attributes
   - Add keyboard navigation support
   - Test components with screen readers

5. **Theme Integration**
   - Ensure all new components support the seasonal theme system
   - Components should have light/dark mode variants

## Next Steps

1. Create the missing UI components in the ui/ folder
2. Reorganize existing components into the recommended folder structure
3. Develop the high-priority feature components
4. Establish component documentation and standards
5. Implement the dashboard management pages with proper components
