💡 Key Decisions Made

Technical

Use ngx-markdown for article rendering
Use ngx-markdown-editor for admin CMS
Start with database full-text search (upgrade to Elasticsearch if needed)
Store KB images in MinIO (same as CVs)
Track analytics in database (views, ratings, searches)

Content

Launch with 20 articles MVP (not 100+)
Focus on quality over quantity
Target long-tail SEO keywords
Update market info articles quarterly
Use rating system to identify low-quality articles

Implementation

Sprint 4 (2 weeks): Fix critical issues first
Sprint 5 (4 weeks): Build KB feature
Soft launch with beta flag if needed
Can deploy KB separately if time-constrained

✅ Work Status

Sprint 4: 30% Complete (In Progress) Sprint 5: 0% Complete (Fully Planned) Overall Project: 85% → Target 100% in 6 weeks

Status: On track ✅ Blockers: SCSS budget (in progress) Next Milestone: Sprint 4 completion (Nov 1)
