Title

Follow & Notifications: Companies/Tags + In-App Alerts

Description

• Type of Issue: Feature / Backend / API / DX

• Directory: anon/backend

• Task :

  • Tables: follows {follower_user_id, kind{"company"|"tag"}, target_id, created_at}; notifications {id, user_id, type, payload(jsonb), read_at?, created_at}.

  • Endpoints:

    • POST /companies/{slug}/follow, DELETE /companies/{slug}/follow
    • POST /tags/{name}/follow, DELETE /tags/{name}/follow
    • GET /me/notifications?cursor=&only_unread=; PATCH /me/notifications/{id} mark read

  • Producer hooks: on new published review/summary for a followed entity → enqueue a notification (privacy-preserving; no email).

• Current:

  • No follow/notify; users must poll feeds.

• Expected:

  • Users can follow entities and receive in-app alerts for new content.
