Locked Inbox Puzzle Website

Developed a web-based, locked, read-only inbox system for a mystery puzzle game to a client on Upwork.

About This Project

The website allows users to unlock access using a multi-step code system (4 separate 4-digit codes) with real-time validation feedback. Built a clean email-style interface with categorized folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Spam, Deleted), where users can browse and read pre-written messages without any editing capabilities. Implemented secure server-side validation and deployed the project using Vercel with full domain integration. The system was designed to be lightweight, responsive, and easily maintainable, with full ownership handed over to the client including GitHub repository and deployment setup.
