📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop a monetized version of the RAGFlow open-source tool, focusing on creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with monetization features.
Key Activities
- Created a technical brief outlining the operational plan for launching the monetized RAGFlow tool, detailing objectives, repository setup, milestones by role, and acceptance criteria for the MVP.
- Developed a marathon sprint plan for the RAGFlow Wrapper MVP, including trial logic, Stripe integration, frontend paywall, deployment, and final polishing.
- Conducted a high-leverage review for distribution wrapper development, emphasizing security, efficiency, and best practices for payment handling and user authentication.
- Critiqued and optimized the RAGFlow codebase, focusing on middleware, Flask, Stripe webhook, and database enhancements.
- Assessed user management and billing logic, focusing on document access, frontend structure, file uploads, rollback plans, and user feedback mechanisms.
- Issued technical prompts for RAGFlow monetization to ensure successful integration without disrupting existing functionalities.
- Formulated key questions for implementing a trial gating system, focusing on user authentication, API endpoints, and frontend integration.
- Provided an internal architecture reference for the RAGFlow-based codebase, detailing user models, authentication flows, middleware hooks, API gating, Stripe integration, and deployment configurations.
Achievements
- Completed the technical brief and sprint plan for the RAGFlow MVP.
- Enhanced the RAGFlow codebase with specific corrections and optimizations.
- Established a comprehensive architecture reference for the RAGFlow-based application.
Pending Tasks
- Further refinement of the trial gating system and its integration into the existing codebase.
- Continued monitoring and feedback collection for user management and billing logic improvements.
