Questions for Clarification

1. Should we implement social authentication (Google, GitHub) in addition to email/password?
2. What payment processor should we use (Stripe, PayPal, both)?
3. Should we implement real-time features (WebSocket) for live readings?
4. Do we need multilingual support?
5. Should we implement a mobile app version?

Notes

• Keep frontend and backend in separate repositories
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Follow security best practices
• Maintain comprehensive documentation
• Regular security audits
• Performance monitoring
