2026-03-15 (Hosting strategy updated: GitHub Pages)

• Task completed: Updated all documentation to reflect GitHub Pages hosting instead of VPS/Docker/Caddy deployment. Owner clarified: no external services, only direct hosting via GitHub. Existing Supabase Nano is sufficient — no separate production Supabase needed.
• Changes made:
  • Hosting decision updated: GitHub Pages (static export) replaces Docker on VPS
  • Milestone 13 rewritten: GitHub Pages deployment instead of VPS provisioning
  • Task 13.1 includes conversion steps: output: 'export', generateStaticParams() for dynamic routes, client-side auth callback, client-side auth guards
  • Removed Docker-related infrastructure (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore)
  • All docs updated for consistency (MAIN_DEVPLAN, DECISIONS, README, AGENTS.md, ROADMAP)
  • Note: next.config.ts remains output: 'standalone' during development — conversion to output: 'export' is part of Milestone 13 implementation
• Files changed: docs/MAIN_DEVPLAN_RESTARTCREW.md, docs/DECISIONS.md, docs/DEVLOG.md, docs/ROADMAP.md, README.md, AGENTS.md
• Files removed: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore
• Blockers: None
• Next step: Continue with Milestone 9: Notifications

• Task completed: All 3 Search & Discovery tasks (8.1–8.3):
  • 8.1 Thread Search Page (/search) — Keyword search across thread titles and bodies using debounced input (300ms). Results displayed as ThreadCard components with pagination support. Empty state prompt, no-results state, and loading skeletons. Uses existing searchThreads() service with ilike pattern matching.
  • 8.2 Discovery Widgets — Four reusable sidebar/feed widgets for early-stage engagement:
    • RecentThreads — Shows 5 most recent threads across all categories with relative timestamps.
    • UnansweredThreads — Shows threads with zero replies, framed as “Support Needed” with encouraging “Be the first to respond ❤️” CTA.
    • ProfessionThreads — Shows threads matching the current user’s profession (requires sign-in).
    • NewMembers — Shows recently joined public members with avatar initials and profile links.
  • 8.3 Explore Page (/explore) — Combined discovery page with 3-column responsive layout: search bar (links to /search), category browse (with thread counts and latest activity), and sidebar with all 4 discovery widgets. Uses useAuth() hook for personalized profession widget.

2026-03-14 (Early-stage metrics, next-level profiles, expanded Teamblind reference)

• Task completed: Major planning updates based on owner feedback:
  • Early-stage metrics strategy: Designed all thread/post metadata for small-community viability. No view counts at launch. Use reply count, time since activity, helpful marks, status badges. Collect data from day one, expose in UI at scale thresholds.
  • Next-level user profiles: Designed two-tier profile system. Tier 1 (launch): AI Impact Story (structured narrative), three-category skills portfolio (have/building/want), community badges (Early member, Storyteller, Support champion, Guide), status evolution tracking, helpfulness count, mentor availability. Tier 2 (post-launch): Journey Timeline, Personal Goals, Wins & Celebrations, Connection features.
  • Expanded Teamblind.com reference: Specific design patterns to adopt (thread card density, anonymous identity display, category navigation, mobile UX). Detailed comparison of what to adopt vs. how RestartCrew adapts and differs.
  • “Helpful” marking system: Lightweight positive engagement on replies that feeds community badges and profile reputation.
  • Database schema updates: New profile fields (ai_impact_story, status_evolution, helpfulness_count, community_badges, mentor_available), helpful_marks table, skill_category column on profile_skills, badge triggers.
  • Milestone updates: Milestone 6 expanded with helpful marking (6.9). Milestone 7 expanded with profile Tier 1 features, badges (7.5), status evolution (7.6). Discovery widgets updated for early-stage engagement patterns.
