  1. Create a sign up form. which technically speaking i can use a simple Wix plug-in.

  2. Create unique referral code. i need a simple function that creates a 6-character randomized string of numbers and letters.

  3. Add user to database. Add the user info and the referral code to the database. which also include fields for their current position in line and who they were referred by. using the length of the database as the original position

  4. Write a piece of code that pulls in the referral code from the url. i want users to be able to use their friends’ links to activate the referral loop, which entails programmatically adding the code to the database from the url bar.

  5. When a user is added, update their line position. We would increment the line position field of the referrer and decrement the person ahead of them in line in case of a tie.

  6. Allow users to return to examine their line progress. last piece , making sure the webpage also enabled the user to lookup their line position to know where they currently stood. This requires a modest re-design of the UI and hiding certain pieces of content.

  7. Email Automation automated emails to be sent out whenever someone’s referral code was used.

if you would like to join me in helping create this code so it may be accessible for others in the future i would greatly appreciate it !
