Email Whitelist Implementation

Overview

Implemented a whitelist system to allow specific test accounts to bypass the premium paywall and have unlimited access to all features.

Whitelisted Emails

Implementation Details

1. Configuration (src/config.ts)

Added whitelist array and helper function:

export const WHITELISTED_EMAILS = [
  'eclipse12895@gmail.com',
  'ayersdecker@gmail.com'
];

export function isWhitelistedEmail(email?: string): boolean {
  if (!email) return false;
  return WHITELISTED_EMAILS.includes(email.toLowerCase());
}

2. Premium Utilities (src/utils/premiumUtils.ts)

Created centralized premium access checking:

  • hasPremiumAccess(user) - Checks if user is premium OR whitelisted
  • getDocumentLimit(user) - Returns 30 for premium/whitelisted, 1 for free
  • shouldShowPaywall(user) - Returns true if user should see paywall modal

3. Updated Components

Applied whitelist logic to all premium-gated features:

Career Tools

  • /src/modules/CoverLetter/CoverLetterWriter.tsx
  • /src/modules/Interview/InterviewPrep.tsx
  • /src/modules/JobSearch/JobSearchAssistant.tsx

Workplace Tools

  • /src/modules/WorkplaceTools/SellingPointsFinder.tsx
  • /src/modules/WorkplaceTools/ColdEmailGenerator.tsx

Social Media Tools

  • /src/modules/SocialMediaTools/HashtagGenerator.tsx
  • /src/modules/PostRank/PostOptimizer.tsx

Document Management

  • /src/components/Dashboard/DocumentLibrary.tsx

Benefits for Whitelisted Users

✅ No paywall modals on any premium tools ✅ Upload up to 30 documents (instead of 1) ✅ Unlimited AI optimizations (no free optimization limit) ✅ Access to all Career, Workplace, and Social Media tools ✅ No subscription required

Testing

To test the whitelist:

  1. Sign in with eclipse12895@gmail.com or ayersdecker@gmail.com
  2. Navigate to any premium tool (Cover Letter, Interview Prep, etc.)
  3. Verify no paywall modal appears
  4. Upload multiple documents (verify 30 document limit)
  5. Use AI features without hitting optimization limits

Security Notes

  • Email matching is case-insensitive
  • Whitelist is hardcoded in config for security
  • Users are checked on component mount and before each operation
  • Whitelist is temporary for testing purposes
