# Jobjakt Product Roadmap

Status reconciled 2026-07-31: Phases 1–8 are implemented in the repository. Phase 8 (SaaS
commercialisation) remains operationally blocked on Stripe activation and production verification.
The implementation roadmap folds public profile and SaaS preparation into its Phase 7; this product
roadmap keeps them as Phases 7 and 8. Portfolio content stays inside public CVs; separate portfolio
hosting is intentionally out of scope until it has requirements that public CVs cannot satisfy.

## Purpose

Defines the strategic direction of Jobjakt.

This roadmap represents product priorities, not a strict development schedule.

Features should be evaluated against:

1. Does this improve job tracking?
2. Does this improve application success?
3. Does this improve career management?
4. Does this support future growth?

# Long-Term Ideas

Possible future features:

- Interview preparation.
- Salary insights. ✅ Dashboard groups comparable tracked ranges by currency and pay period (2026-07-31).
- Career analytics.
- Skill recommendations.
- Learning paths. ✅ Deterministic job-specific skill gaps can be marked learned or dismissed; external course integrations remain out of scope (2026-07-31).
- Recruiter visibility. ✅ Public CV links include recruiter-friendly PDF download (2026-07-31); discovery, accounts, and messaging remain intentionally unscoped.
- Portfolio hosting. ➖ Separate hosting is intentionally out of scope; public CV projects and custom sections cover the current sharing need.

# Roadmap Rules

Do not:

- Build future features before core workflows are excellent.
- Sacrifice simplicity for complexity.
- Add features because competitors have them.

Always prioritise user value.
