ForgeKit Guides: Interactive Layer

Turned the guide shelf from readable articles into working pocket machines — copy buttons on every template card, a deterministic message customizer on the estimate follow-up guide, and a mobile polish pass before deploy.

Timeline

  1. Start

    Brief received + architecture confirmed

    Copy buttons first, customizer on estimate follow-up templates only, page stays server-rendered

  2. Phase 1

    CopyButton + TemplateCard

    Client components isolated, all template guides get copy buttons automatically

  3. Phase 2

    TemplateCustomizer + interactive field

    Deterministic message builder on /guides/estimate-follow-up-text-templates, interactive?: field added to Guide type

  4. Polish

    Pre-deploy hardening pass

    metadataBase fixed, mobile layout stacked, business name in all tone variants, aria-label fixed

  5. Done

    Deployed to forgekits.build

    TypeScript clean, build clean, metadataBase warning gone, 40/40 pages SSG
