Session Goal

The session aimed to design and implement monetization controls and paywall systems for a DocumentService application, focusing on backend and frontend integration.

Key Activities

  • Developed strategies for monetization control in DocumentService, including paywall enforcement and cost management.
  • Implemented token management techniques for quota enforcement and user-specific tracking.
  • Refactored code to enhance monetization capabilities, including usage logging and token quota enforcement.
  • Patched PlanManager for cost management in Mind Map and embedding processes.
  • Analyzed the project’s functional architecture to identify monetization logic points.
  • Planned and implemented a minimally disruptive paywall system in both frontend and backend.
  • Developed and tested a minimal working version of a /api/user/me endpoint for user management.
  • Reviewed frontend patches for compatibility with backend systems.
  • Provided local testing guides for UI-level paywall implementation and resolved Python package installation issues.

Achievements

  • Successfully implemented a paywall system with backend and frontend components.
  • Enhanced the DocumentService with robust monetization controls and user-specific tracking.
  • Improved system architecture for better cost management and token accounting.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and refinement of the paywall system to ensure seamless user experience.
  • Additional integration of user subscription features with existing authentication systems.
