+- **12 Months**: $19.99 (save 44%)
+
+### Revenue Mix (After PRO Launch):
+```
+Ad Revenue: $800/month (80% of users)
+PRO Revenue: $400/month (20 users × $20/year ÷ 12)
+──────────────────────────────────────
+Total: $1,200/month
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+### Current Strategy (Revised):
+✅ **Clean Homepage** - No ads, better UX, better SEO
+✅ **Tool Pages Only** - 3 ads on desktop, 1 on mobile
+✅ **Conservative Start** - $100/month with 10K visitors
+✅ **Growth Potential** - $1,000+/month with 100K visitors
+✅ **PRO Tier Later** - Additional revenue stream
+
+### Revenue Timeline:
+```
+Month 1: $100 (10K visitors)
+Month 3: $300 (30K visitors)
+Month 6: $500 (50K visitors)
+Month 12: $1,000 (100K visitors)
+Month 18: $1,500 (100K visitors + PRO tier)
+```
+
+### Why This Works:
+1. Clean homepage attracts more users
+2. Better SEO = more organic traffic
+3. Higher engagement = more tool page views
+4. More tool page views = more ad impressions
+5. Professional image = higher trust = more return visits
+
+**This strategy prioritizes long-term growth over short-term revenue!** 🚀
+
+Step 1: Create Ad Units in AdSense Dashboard
+Go to your AdSense dashboard and create these ad units:
+
+Desktop Ads (3 units):
+1. Name: "Tool Sidebar 1"
+- Size: 300x250 (Medium Rectangle)
+- Type: Display ads
+2. Name: "Tool Sidebar 2"
+- Size: 300x250 (Medium Rectangle)
+- Type: Display ads
+3. Name: "Tool Sidebar 3"
+- Size: 300x250 (Medium Rectangle)
+- Type: Display ads
+Mobile Ad (1 unit):
+1. Name: "Mobile Bottom Banner"
+- Size: 320x50 (Mobile Banner)
+- Type: Display ads
+After creating each unit, you'll get an Ad Slot ID like 1234567890. Copy those IDs and give them to me.

+# AdSense Setup Guide - Final Steps
+
+## ✅ What's Already Done:
+
+1. ✅ **AdSense Script Added** to `public/index.html`
+2. ✅ **AdBlock Component** created (`src/components/AdBlock.js`)
+3. ✅ **AdColumn Component** created (`src/components/AdColumn.js`)
+4. ✅ **MobileAdBanner Component** created (`src/components/MobileAdBanner.js`)
+5. ✅ **ToolLayout Updated** to include ads on all tool pages
+6. ✅ **Build Successful** - Ready to deploy!
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What You Need to Do Now:
+
+### Step 1: Create Ad Units in AdSense Dashboard
+
+Go to: https://adsense.google.com/
+
+**Navigate to:** Ads → By ad unit → Display ads
+
+**Create 4 Ad Units:**
+
+#### **Ad Unit 1: Tool Sidebar 1**
+- **Name**: `Tool Sidebar 1`
+- **Size**: `300x250` (Medium Rectangle)
+- **Type**: Display ads
+- Click "Create" and **copy the Ad Slot ID**
+
+#### **Ad Unit 2: Tool Sidebar 2**
+- **Name**: `Tool Sidebar 2`
+- **Size**: `300x250` (Medium Rectangle)
+- **Type**: Display ads
+- Click "Create" and **copy the Ad Slot ID**
+
+#### **Ad Unit 3: Tool Sidebar 3**
+- **Name**: `Tool Sidebar 3`
+- **Size**: `300x250` (Medium Rectangle)
+- **Type**: Display ads
+- Click "Create" and **copy the Ad Slot ID**
+
+#### **Ad Unit 4: Mobile Bottom Banner**
+- **Name**: `Mobile Bottom Banner`
+- **Size**: `320x50` (Mobile Banner)
+- **Type**: Display ads
+- Click "Create" and **copy the Ad Slot ID**
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Update Ad Slot IDs in Code
+
+After creating the ad units, you'll have 4 slot IDs that look like: `1234567890`
+
+**Open:** `src/components/AdColumn.js`
+
+**Replace:**
+```javascript
+const AdColumn = ({
+ slot1 = 'REPLACE_WITH_SLOT_1', // ← Replace with your Slot 1 ID
+ slot2 = 'REPLACE_WITH_SLOT_2', // ← Replace with your Slot 2 ID
+ slot3 = 'REPLACE_WITH_SLOT_3' // ← Replace with your Slot 3 ID
+}) => {
+```
+
+**With:**
+```javascript
+const AdColumn = ({
+ slot1 = '1234567890', // ← Your actual Slot 1 ID
+ slot2 = '0987654321', // ← Your actual Slot 2 ID
+ slot3 = '1122334455' // ← Your actual Slot 3 ID
+}) => {
+```
+
+**Open:** `src/components/MobileAdBanner.js`
+
+**Replace:**
+```javascript
+const MobileAdBanner = ({ slot = 'REPLACE_WITH_MOBILE_SLOT' }) => {
+```
+
+**With:**
+```javascript
+const MobileAdBanner = ({ slot = '5544332211' }) => { // ← Your Mobile Slot ID
+```
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Rebuild and Deploy
+
+```bash
+npm run build:no-snap
+```
+
+Then deploy to your hosting (Netlify, Vercel, etc.)
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Test Ads
+
+**After deployment:**
+
+1. **Visit any tool page** (not homepage)
+2. **Desktop**: You should see 3 ads in the right sidebar
+3. **Mobile**: You should see 1 sticky banner at the bottom
+4. **Homepage**: Should have NO ads (clean!)
+
+**Note:** Ads may take 10-30 minutes to start showing after deployment.
+
+---
+
+## 📊 How It Works:
+
+### **Homepage (Clean - No Ads)**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────┐
+│ Hero Section │
+│ Tool Cards │
+│ Features │
+│ Footer │
+└─────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Tool Pages (Desktop - 3 Ads)**
+```
+┌────────────────────────────┬─────────┐
+│ │ [Ad1] │ 300x250
+│ Tool Content │ │
+│ (Object Editor, etc.) │ [Ad2] │ 300x250
+│ │ │
+│ │ [Ad3] │ 300x250
+└────────────────────────────┴─────────┘
+```
+
+### **Tool Pages (Mobile - 1 Ad)**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────┐
+│ Tool Content │
+│ (Scrollable) │
+│ │
+├─────────────────────────┤
+│ [Ad Banner 320x50] │ ← Sticky
+└─────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎨 Ad Styling:
+
+Ads are wrapped in:
+- Light mode: Gray background (`bg-gray-100`)
+- Dark mode: Dark gray background (`bg-gray-800`)
+- Rounded corners for modern look
+- Proper spacing between ads
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting:
+
+### **Ads Not Showing?**
+
+1. **Wait 10-30 minutes** after deployment
+2. **Check AdSense Dashboard** - Make sure account is approved
+3. **Check Browser Console** for errors
+4. **Disable Ad Blocker** for testing
+5. **Verify Slot IDs** are correct in code
+
+### **Ads Showing Blank Space?**
+
+- This is normal during testing
+- AdSense needs time to fill inventory
+- May show blank for first few hours/days
+- Will improve as site gets traffic
+
+### **Mobile Ad Overlapping Content?**
+
+- There's a `` at bottom
+- This adds padding to prevent overlap
+- Adjust height if needed
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Monitoring Performance:
+
+### **AdSense Dashboard:**
+- Go to: https://adsense.google.com/
+- Check: Reports → Overview
+- Monitor:
+ - **Page RPM** (Revenue per 1000 impressions)
+ - **CTR** (Click-through rate)
+ - **Impressions** (How many times ads shown)
+ - **Earnings** (Daily/monthly revenue)
+
+### **Expected Timeline:**
+- **Day 1-7**: Low earnings, AdSense learning
+- **Week 2-4**: Earnings stabilize
+- **Month 2+**: Optimize based on data
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Next Steps After Ads Are Live:
+
+1. **Monitor Performance** (first week)
+2. **Optimize Ad Positions** (if needed)
+3. **Test Different Ad Sizes** (A/B testing)
+4. **Track User Feedback** (any complaints?)
+5. **Plan PRO Tier** (ad-free option)
+
+---
+
+## 💰 Revenue Expectations:
+
+Based on your traffic estimate:
+
+**Month 1:** $100-150
+- 10,000 visitors
+- 15,000 tool page views
+- 45,000 ad impressions
+
+**Month 3:** $300-400
+- 30,000 visitors
+- 45,000 tool page views
+- 135,000 ad impressions
+
+**Month 6:** $500-700
+- 50,000 visitors
+- 75,000 tool page views
+- 225,000 ad impressions
+
+**Month 12:** $1,000-1,500
+- 100,000 visitors
+- 150,000 tool page views
+- 450,000 ad impressions
+
+---

+# Google AdSense Implementation Strategy
+
+## Overview
+Strategic placement of AdSense ads to monetize the developer tools while maintaining excellent user experience. Focus on non-intrusive, contextual ad placements that don't disrupt workflow.
+
+---
+
+## Ad Unit Types & Sizes
+
+### 1. **Display Ads**
+- **Leaderboard (728x90)**: Top of pages, above content
+- **Medium Rectangle (300x250)**: Sidebar, between content sections (PRIMARY CHOICE)
+- **Large Rectangle (336x280)**: Sidebar, high-visibility areas
+- **Note**: For our implementation, we use 300x250 for all desktop sidebar ads to comply with Google AdSense policies (no scrollable containers)
+
+### 2. **Responsive Ads**
+- Auto-adapt to screen size
+- Best for mobile compatibility
+- Recommended for all placements
+
+### 3. **In-Feed Ads**
+- Native ads that blend with content
+- Perfect for tool listings and results
+

+## Technical Implementation
+
+### **AdSense Component**
+
+```javascript
+// src/components/AdSense.js
+import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
+import { getCurrentUserTier, USER_TIER } from '../config/features';
+
+const AdSense = ({
+ slot,
+ format = 'auto',
+ responsive = true,
+ style = {}
+}) => {
+ const userTier = getCurrentUserTier();
+
+ // Don't show ads for PRO users
+ if (userTier === USER_TIER.PRO) {
+ return null;
+ }
+
+ useEffect(() => {
+ try {
+ (window.adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
+ } catch (e) {
+ console.error('AdSense error:', e);
+ }
+ }, []);
+
+ return (
+
+
+
+ );
+};
+
+export default AdSense;
+```
+
+### **Usage Example**
+
+```javascript
+// In TableEditor.js
+import AdSense from '../components/AdSense';
+
+// Between sections
+
+
+// Sidebar
+
+```
+
+### **Add Script to index.html**
+
+```html
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Revenue Estimation
+
+### **Traffic Assumptions:**
+- 1,000 daily visitors
+- 3 page views per visitor = 3,000 page views/day
+- 90,000 page views/month
+
+### **AdSense Metrics:**
+- Average CPM: $2-5 (developer tools niche)
+- Average CTR: 1-2%
+- Average CPC: $0.50-2.00
+
+### **Monthly Revenue Estimate:**
+
+**Conservative (Low End):**
+- 90,000 page views × $2 CPM = $180/month
+- Or: 90,000 × 1% CTR × $0.50 CPC = $450/month
+
+**Optimistic (High End):**
+- 90,000 page views × $5 CPM = $450/month
+- Or: 90,000 × 2% CTR × $2.00 CPC = $3,600/month
+
+**Realistic Target:** $300-800/month with optimization
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### **Do's:**
+✅ Place ads in natural content breaks
+✅ Use responsive ad units
+✅ Test different placements and track CTR
+✅ Maintain good content-to-ad ratio
+✅ Respect user experience
+✅ Offer ad-free PRO option
+
+### **Don'ts:**
+❌ Place ads in middle of forms or editors
+❌ Use too many ads per page
+❌ Hide ads with CSS (against policy)
+❌ Click own ads (instant ban)
+❌ Encourage clicks ("Click here!")
+❌ Place ads too close together
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring & Optimization
+
+### **Key Metrics to Track:**
+1. **Page RPM** (Revenue per 1000 impressions)
+2. **CTR** (Click-through rate)
+3. **CPC** (Cost per click)
+4. **Viewability** (% of ads actually seen)
+5. **User Engagement** (bounce rate, time on site)
+
+### **A/B Testing:**
+- Test different ad positions
+- Test ad sizes and formats
+- Monitor which tools generate most revenue
+- Optimize based on data
+
+### **Monthly Review:**
+- Analyze AdSense reports
+- Identify top-performing placements
+- Remove low-performing ads
+- Test new positions
+
+---
+
+## Compliance & Policy
+
+### **Google AdSense Policies:**
+- No invalid clicks or impressions
+- No prohibited content
+- Proper ad placement (not deceptive)
+- Privacy policy must mention ads
+- Cookie consent for EU users (already implemented)
+
+### **Privacy Policy Update:**
+```markdown
+## Advertising

+# Backend Requirements for Production
+
+## Question 2: Does Advanced URL Fetch Need Backend?
+
+### Short Answer:
+**YES, for production use with CORS-protected APIs, you need a backend proxy.**
+
+### Long Answer:
+
+## Current Situation (Frontend Only)
+
+### ✅ What Works Without Backend:
+1. **Public APIs with CORS enabled**
+ - JSONPlaceholder
+ - GitHub API (public endpoints)
+ - Any API with `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`
+
+2. **Same-origin requests**
+ - Your own domain's API
+ - Example: `dewe.dev/api/*`
+
+### ❌ What Doesn't Work Without Backend:
+1. **CORS-protected APIs**
+ - Your `api.starsender.online`
+ - Most private/commercial APIs
+ - APIs without CORS headers
+
+2. **Secure API keys**
+ - Exposing keys in frontend = security risk
+ - Anyone can see your API keys in browser
+
+---
+
+## Why You Need Backend
+
+### 1. CORS Bypass
+```
+❌ Frontend → api.starsender.online
+ Browser blocks: CORS error
+
+✅ Frontend → Your Backend → api.starsender.online
+ No CORS (server-to-server)
+```
+
+### 2. API Key Security
+```
+❌ Frontend stores API key
+ Visible in browser console
+ Anyone can steal it
+
+✅ Backend stores API key
+ Hidden from users
+ Secure environment variables
+```
+
+### 3. Rate Limiting & Caching
+```
+✅ Backend can:
+ - Cache responses
+ - Implement rate limiting
+ - Log requests
+ - Add analytics
+```
+
+---
+
+## Backend Architecture Options
+
+### Option 1: Simple Proxy (Recommended)
+
+**Tech Stack:** Node.js + Express
+
+```javascript
+// server.js
+const express = require('express');
+const axios = require('axios');
+const cors = require('cors');
+
+const app = express();
+app.use(cors());
+app.use(express.json());
+
+// Proxy endpoint
+app.post('/api/proxy', async (req, res) => {
+ try {
+ const { url, method, headers, body } = req.body;
+
+ // Make request to target API
+ const response = await axios({
+ method: method || 'GET',
+ url: url,
+ headers: headers || {},
+ data: body || undefined
+ });
+
+ res.json(response.data);
+ } catch (error) {
+ res.status(error.response?.status || 500).json({
+ error: error.message,
+ details: error.response?.data
+ });
+ }
+});
+
+app.listen(3000, () => {
+ console.log('Proxy server running on port 3000');
+});
+```
+
+**Frontend Update:**
+```javascript
+// In handleFetchData function
+const response = await fetch('https://your-backend.com/api/proxy', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+ body: JSON.stringify({
+ url: url,
+ method: advancedOptions?.method || 'GET',
+ headers: advancedOptions?.headers || {},
+ body: advancedOptions?.body
+ })
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: Serverless Functions
+
+**Platform:** Vercel, Netlify, AWS Lambda
+
+```javascript
+// api/proxy.js (Vercel/Netlify)
+export default async function handler(req, res) {
+ if (req.method !== 'POST') {
+ return res.status(405).json({ error: 'Method not allowed' });
+ }
+
+ const { url, method, headers, body } = req.body;
+
+ try {
+ const response = await fetch(url, {
+ method: method || 'GET',
+ headers: headers || {},
+ body: body ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined
+ });
+
+ const data = await response.json();
+ res.status(200).json(data);
+ } catch (error) {
+ res.status(500).json({ error: error.message });
+ }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Option 3: Full Backend with Auth
+
+**For PRO user management:**
+
+```javascript
+// server.js with authentication
+const express = require('express');
+const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
+const axios = require('axios');
+
+const app = express();
+app.use(express.json());
+
+// Middleware to check PRO status
+const checkProUser = (req, res, next) => {
+ const token = req.headers.authorization?.split(' ')[1];
+
+ try {
+ const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
+ req.user = decoded;
+
+ // Check if user is PRO
+ if (req.user.tier !== 'pro') {
+ return res.status(403).json({
+ error: 'PRO feature',
+ message: 'Upgrade to PRO to use advanced URL fetch'
+ });
+ }
+
+ next();
+ } catch (error) {
+ res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
+ }
+};
+
+// Protected proxy endpoint
+app.post('/api/proxy', checkProUser, async (req, res) => {
+ const { url, method, headers, body } = req.body;
+
+ // Only PRO users can use non-GET methods
+ if (method !== 'GET' && req.user.tier !== 'pro') {
+ return res.status(403).json({
+ error: 'PRO feature required for ' + method
+ });
+ }
+
+ try {
+ const response = await axios({
+ method: method || 'GET',
+ url: url,
+ headers: headers || {},
+ data: body || undefined
+ });
+
+ res.json(response.data);
+ } catch (error) {
+ res.status(error.response?.status || 500).json({
+ error: error.message
+ });
+ }
+});
+
+app.listen(3000);
+```
+

+
+## Implementation Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1: Basic Proxy (Week 1)
+- [ ] Set up Node.js/Express server
+- [ ] Create `/api/proxy` endpoint
+- [ ] Deploy to Vercel/Netlify
+- [ ] Update frontend to use proxy
+- [ ] Test with your API
+
+### Phase 2: Security (Week 2)
+- [ ] Add API key validation
+- [ ] Implement rate limiting
+- [ ] Add request logging
+- [ ] Set up error handling
+- [ ] Add CORS whitelist
+
+### Phase 3: PRO Features (Week 3-4)
+- [ ] Set up user authentication (JWT)
+- [ ] Create user database (PostgreSQL/MongoDB)
+- [ ] Implement tier checking (FREE/PRO)
+- [ ] Add payment integration (Stripe)
+- [ ] Update frontend to send auth tokens
+
+### Phase 4: Advanced Features (Week 5+)
+- [ ] Request caching (Redis)
+- [ ] Analytics dashboard
+- [ ] Usage limits per tier
+- [ ] Webhook support
+- [ ] API key management
+
+---
+
+## Cost Estimation
+
+### Free Tier Options:
+- **Vercel**: 100GB bandwidth/month
+- **Netlify**: 100GB bandwidth/month
+- **Railway**: $5/month credit
+- **Render**: Free tier available
+
+### Paid Options:
+- **Vercel Pro**: $20/month
+- **AWS Lambda**: Pay per request (~$0.20 per 1M requests)
+- **DigitalOcean**: $5/month VPS
+- **Heroku**: $7/month
+
+---
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### 1. Environment Variables
+```bash
+# .env
+JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...
+ALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://dewe.dev,http://localhost:3001
+```
+
+### 2. Rate Limiting
+```javascript
+const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
+
+const limiter = rateLimit({
+ windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
+ max: 100 // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
+});
+
+app.use('/api/', limiter);
+```
+
+### 3. Input Validation
+```javascript
+const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator');
+
+app.post('/api/proxy', [
+ body('url').isURL(),
+ body('method').isIn(['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'PATCH']),
+], async (req, res) => {
+ const errors = validationResult(req);
+ if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
+ return res.status(400).json({ errors: errors.array() });
+ }
+ // ... rest of code
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+### Current State (Frontend Only):
+✅ Works with public APIs
+❌ Fails with CORS-protected APIs
+❌ Can't secure API keys
+❌ No PRO user management
+
+### With Backend:
+✅ Works with any API (no CORS issues)
+✅ Secure API key storage
+✅ PRO user authentication
+✅ Rate limiting & caching
+✅ Analytics & logging
+✅ Production-ready
+
+### Recommendation:
+**Start with Option 1 (Simple Proxy)** for immediate CORS bypass, then gradually add authentication and PRO features in Phase 2-3.
+
+**Estimated Timeline:** 2-4 weeks for full implementation with PRO features.

+# Feature Toggle System - FREE vs PRO
+
+## Overview
+The Advanced URL Fetch feature is now a **PRO feature** with a toggle system that supports FREE and PRO tiers.
+
+## Files Created
+
+### 1. `/src/config/features.js`
+**Purpose:** Central configuration for all FREE/PRO features
+
+**Key Functions:**
+- `getCurrentUserTier()` - Returns current user tier (static for now, will be dynamic)
+- `isFeatureEnabled(featureName)` - Check if a feature is enabled for current user
+- `isProUser()` - Quick check if user is PRO
+- `getFeatureInfo(featureName)` - Get feature metadata
+
+**Current Features:**
+- `ADVANCED_URL_FETCH` - PRO only
+- `BULK_OPERATIONS` - PRO only (placeholder)
+- `EXPORT_TEMPLATES` - PRO only (placeholder)
+- `CLOUD_SYNC` - PRO only (placeholder)
+
+**How to Toggle for Testing:**
+```javascript
+// In /src/config/features.js, line ~15
+const staticTier = USER_TIER.FREE; // Change to USER_TIER.PRO to test
+```
+
+### 2. `/src/components/ProBadge.js`
+**Purpose:** Reusable Pro badge and feature lock components
+
+**Components:**
+- `` - Shows PRO badge (3 variants: badge, button, inline)
+- `` - Shows locked feature message with upgrade prompt
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+```jsx
+// Simple badge
+
+
+// Upgrade button
+
+
+// Inline text
+
+
+// Feature lock message
+
+```
+
+### 3. `/src/components/AdvancedURLFetch.js` (Updated)
+**Purpose:** URL fetch component with FREE/PRO support
+
+**Changes:**
+- Imports feature toggle system
+- Shows PRO badge on "Show Advanced Options" button
+- Displays `` when user is FREE tier
+- Shows full advanced options when user is PRO tier
+
+## User Experience
+
+### FREE Tier Users:
+1. See basic URL input with GET method only
+2. See "Show Advanced Options" button with PRO badge
+3. Click button → See feature lock message with upgrade prompt
+4. Can still use basic URL fetch (current functionality)
+
+### PRO Tier Users:
+1. See basic URL input with method selector (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH)
+2. See "Show Advanced Options" button (no PRO badge)
+3. Click button → See full advanced options:
+ - Query Parameters builder
+ - Custom Headers
+ - Authentication (Bearer, API Key, Basic Auth)
+ - Request Body editor
+ - Save/Load Presets
+
+## Integration Guide
+
+### In ObjectEditor or TableEditor:
+
+```jsx
+import AdvancedURLFetch from '../components/AdvancedURLFetch';
+
+// In component:
+const [showAdvanced, setShowAdvanced] = useState(false);
+
+const handleUpgrade = () => {
+ // Navigate to pricing page or show upgrade modal
+ alert('Upgrade to PRO!');
+};
+
+// In JSX:
+ setShowAdvanced(!showAdvanced)}
+ onUpgrade={handleUpgrade}
+/>
+```
+
+## Future: Dynamic Tier from Database
+
+When implementing authentication and database:
+
+```javascript
+// /src/config/features.js
+export const getCurrentUserTier = () => {
+ // Replace static tier with:
+ const user = getUserFromAuth(); // Your auth function
+ return user?.tier || USER_TIER.FREE;
+};
+
+// Or with API call:
+export const getCurrentUserTier = async () => {
+ const response = await fetch('/api/user/tier');
+ const data = await response.json();
+ return data.tier || USER_TIER.FREE;
+};
+```
+
+## Adding New PRO Features
+
+1. **Add to features.js:**
+```javascript
+export const FEATURES = {
+ // ... existing features
+
+ MY_NEW_FEATURE: {
+ name: 'My New Feature',
+ description: 'Description of what it does',
+ tier: USER_TIER.PRO,
+ enabled: (userTier) => userTier === USER_TIER.PRO
+ }
+};
+```
+
+2. **Use in component:**
+```jsx
+import { isFeatureEnabled } from '../config/features';
+
+const MyComponent = () => {
+ const isEnabled = isFeatureEnabled('MY_NEW_FEATURE');
+
+ return (
+
+ {isEnabled ? (
+
+ ) : (
+
+ )}
+
+ );
+};
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test as FREE user:
+1. Keep `staticTier = USER_TIER.FREE` in features.js
+2. Run dev server: `npm start`
+3. Go to Object Editor → URL tab
+4. Click "Show Advanced Options"
+5. Should see PRO lock message
+
+### Test as PRO user:
+1. Change to `staticTier = USER_TIER.PRO` in features.js
+2. Restart dev server
+3. Go to Object Editor → URL tab
+4. Click "Show Advanced Options"
+5. Should see full advanced options
+
+## Benefits
+
+✅ **Clean Separation**: FREE and PRO features clearly separated
+✅ **Easy Testing**: Toggle tier with one line change
+✅ **Reusable Components**: ProBadge and ProFeatureLock can be used anywhere
+✅ **Future-Ready**: Easy to connect to real authentication/database
+✅ **User-Friendly**: Clear upgrade prompts with feature descriptions
+✅ **Maintainable**: All feature flags in one central location
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Feature toggle system created
+2. ✅ Pro badge components created
+3. ✅ AdvancedURLFetch updated with FREE/PRO support
+4. ⏳ Integrate into ObjectEditor
+5. ⏳ Integrate into TableEditor
+6. ⏳ Create pricing/upgrade page
+7. ⏳ Implement authentication system
+8. ⏳ Connect to database for dynamic tier management

-
-## 🔧 Troubleshooting
-
-### Issue: "Couldn't fetch sitemap"
-**Solution:**
-- Check if `https://dewe.dev/sitemap.xml` is accessible
-- Ensure Coolify serves static files from `/public`
-- Check server logs for 404 errors
-
-### Issue: "Discovered - currently not indexed"
-**Solution:**
-- Normal! Google discovered but hasn't indexed yet
-- Request indexing manually (Step 2 above)
-- Wait 7-14 days
-
-### Issue: "Crawled - currently not indexed"
-**Solution:**
-- Google crawled but deemed low priority
-- Improve content quality
-- Add more internal links
-- Wait for Google to re-evaluate
-
-### Issue: "Soft 404"
-**Solution:**
-- Page has no content or very little content
-- Pre-rendering should fix this
-- Check if react-snap generated HTML correctly
-- Verify build output
-
-### Issue: react-snap fails during build
-**Solution:**
-- Check console for errors
-- May need to add `window.snapSaveState = () => ({})` to index.js
-- Try `npm run build:no-snap` to build without pre-rendering
-- Check react-snap documentation

+
+**Action:** Update `public/sitemap.xml`

+---
+
+## 🎯 Priority 2: Content & On-Page SEO (Medium-High Impact)
+
+### 6. **Optimize Title Tags**
+
+**Current:** Generic titles

+
+**Before:**
+```

+```
+
+**After:**
+```
+Free Markdown Editor with Live Preview & PDF Export | Developer Tools
+```
+
+**Pattern:**

+
+**Example:**

+
Free Online Markdown Editor with Live Preview
+```
+
+---
+
+### 9. **Internal Linking Strategy**

+
+**Example:**
+```jsx
+// At bottom of Markdown Editor
+
