+# Local Development Setup
+
+This guide helps you run Munich News Daily locally for development and testing.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Copy local environment files
+cp .env.local .env
+cp backend/.env.local backend/.env
+
+# 2. Start services with local configuration
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d
+
+# 3. Check logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs -f
+
+# 4. Access services
+# - Frontend: http://localhost:3000
+# - Backend API: http://localhost:5001
+# - MongoDB: localhost:27017
+# - Ollama: http://localhost:11434
+```
+
+## Differences from Production
+
+| Feature | Production | Local Development |
+|---------|-----------|-------------------|
+| Ollama Model | `gemma3:12b` (large) | `phi3:latest` (small, fast) |
+| MongoDB Port | Internal only | Exposed on 27017 |
+| Ollama Port | Internal only | Exposed on 11434 |
+| Container Names | `munich-news-*` | `munich-news-local-*` |
+| Volumes | `*_data` | `*_data_local` |
+| Email | Production SMTP | Test/disabled |
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+### Start/Stop Services
+```bash
+# Start all services
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d
+
+# Stop all services
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down
+
+# Restart a specific service
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml restart backend
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs -f crawler
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Trigger a news crawl (2 articles for quick testing)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5001/api/admin/trigger-crawl \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"max_articles": 2}'
+
+# Trigger transport crawl
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5001/api/transport/crawl
+
+# Check articles in MongoDB
+docker exec munich-news-local-mongodb mongosh munich_news \
+  --eval "db.articles.find({}, {title: 1, keywords: 1, category: 1}).limit(3)"
+
+# Check transport disruptions
+curl http://localhost:5001/api/transport/disruptions
+```
+
+### Database Access
+
+```bash
+# Connect to MongoDB
+docker exec -it munich-news-local-mongodb mongosh munich_news
+
+# Or from host (if you have mongosh installed)
+mongosh "mongodb://admin:local123@localhost:27017/munich_news"
+
+# Useful queries
+db.articles.countDocuments()
+db.articles.find({keywords: {$exists: true}}).limit(5)
+db.subscribers.find()
+db.transport_alerts.find()
+```
+
+### Ollama Testing
+
+```bash
+# List models
+curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags
+
+# Test generation
+curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
+  "model": "phi3:latest",
+  "prompt": "Summarize: Munich opens new U-Bahn line",
+  "stream": false
+}'
+```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Stop and remove containers
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down
+
+# Remove volumes (WARNING: deletes all data)
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down -v
+
+# Remove local volumes specifically
+docker volume rm munich-news_mongodb_data_local
+docker volume rm munich-news_mongodb_config_local
+docker volume rm munich-news_ollama_data_local
+```
+
+## Switching Between Local and Production
+
+```bash
+# Switch to local
+cp .env.local .env
+cp backend/.env.local backend/.env
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d
+
+# Switch to production
+cp .env.production .env  # (if you have one)
+cp backend/.env.production backend/.env
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Ollama model not downloading
+```bash
+# Pull model manually
+docker exec munich-news-local-ollama ollama pull phi3:latest
+```
+
+### MongoDB connection refused
+```bash
+# Check if MongoDB is running
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml ps mongodb
+
+# Check logs
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs mongodb
+```
+
+### Port already in use
+```bash
+# Check what's using the port
+lsof -i :5001  # or :3000, :27017, etc.
+
+# Stop the conflicting service or change port in docker-compose.local.yml
+```
+
+## Tips
+
+1. **Use phi3 for speed** - It's much faster than gemma3 for local testing
+2. **Limit articles** - Use `max_articles: 2` for quick crawl tests
+3. **Watch logs** - Keep logs open to see what's happening
+4. **Separate volumes** - Local and production use different volumes, so they don't interfere

+# Newsletter Personalization Implementation
+
+## Overview
+Personalized newsletters based on user click behavior, using keywords and categories to build interest profiles.
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Keyword Extraction (COMPLETED)
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Files Modified:**
+- `news_crawler/ollama_client.py` - Added `extract_keywords()` method
+- `news_crawler/crawler_service.py` - Integrated keyword extraction into crawl process
+
+**What it does:**
+- Extracts 5 keywords from each article using Ollama AI
+- Keywords stored in `articles` collection: `keywords: ["Bayern Munich", "Football", ...]`
+- Runs automatically during news crawling
+
+**Test it:**
+```bash
+# Trigger a crawl
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5001/api/admin/trigger-crawl -d '{"max_articles": 2}'
+
+# Check articles have keywords
+docker exec munich-news-mongodb mongosh munich_news --eval "db.articles.findOne({}, {title: 1, keywords: 1})"
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Phase 2: Click Tracking Enhancement (COMPLETED)
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Goal:** Track clicks with keyword metadata
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `backend/services/tracking_service.py` - Enhanced `create_newsletter_tracking()` to look up article metadata
+
+**What it does:**
+- When creating tracking links, looks up article from database
+- Stores article ID, category, and keywords in tracking record
+- Enables building user interest profiles from click behavior
+
+**Database Schema:**
+```javascript
+// link_clicks collection
+{
+  tracking_id: "uuid",
+  newsletter_id: "2024-11-18",
+  subscriber_email: "user@example.com",
+  article_url: "https://...",
+  article_title: "Article Title",
+  article_id: "673abc123...",              // NEW: Article database ID
+  category: "sports",                      // NEW: Article category
+  keywords: ["Bayern Munich", "Bundesliga"], // NEW: Keywords for personalization
+  clicked: false,
+  clicked_at: null,
+  user_agent: null,
+  created_at: ISODate()
+}
+```
+
+**Test it:**
+```bash
+# Send a test newsletter
+curl -X POST http://localhost:5001/api/admin/send-newsletter
+
+# Check tracking records have keywords
+docker exec munich-news-mongodb mongosh munich_news --eval "db.link_clicks.findOne({}, {article_title: 1, keywords: 1, category: 1})"
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Phase 3: User Interest Profiling (COMPLETED)
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Goal:** Build user interest profiles from click history
+
+**Files Created:**
+- `backend/services/interest_profiling_service.py` - Core profiling logic
+- `backend/routes/interests_routes.py` - API endpoints for interest management
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `backend/routes/tracking_routes.py` - Auto-update interests on click
+- `backend/app.py` - Register interests routes
+
+**What it does:**
+- Automatically builds interest profiles when users click articles
+- Tracks interest scores for categories and keywords (0.0 to 1.0)
+- Increments scores by 0.1 per click, capped at 1.0
+- Provides decay mechanism for old interests
+- Supports rebuilding profiles from click history
+
+**Database Schema:**
+```javascript
+// user_interests collection
+{
+  email: "user@example.com",
+  categories: {
+    sports: 0.8,
+    local: 0.5,
+    science: 0.2
+  },
+  keywords: {
+    "Bayern Munich": 0.9,
+    "Oktoberfest": 0.7,
+    "AI": 0.3
+  },
+  total_clicks: 15,
+  last_updated: ISODate(),
+  created_at: ISODate()
+}
+```
+
+**API Endpoints:**
+```bash
+# Get user interests
+GET /api/interests/<email>
+
+# Get top interests
+GET /api/interests/<email>/top?top_n=10
+
+# Rebuild from history
+POST /api/interests/<email>/rebuild
+Body: {"days_lookback": 30}
+
+# Decay old interests
+POST /api/interests/decay
+Body: {"decay_factor": 0.95, "days_threshold": 7}
+
+# Get statistics
+GET /api/interests/statistics
+
+# Delete profile (GDPR)
+DELETE /api/interests/<email>
+```
+
+**Test it:**
+```bash
+# Run test script
+docker exec munich-news-local-backend python test_interest_profiling.py
+
+# View a user's interests
+curl http://localhost:5001/api/interests/user@example.com
+
+# Get statistics
+curl http://localhost:5001/api/interests/statistics
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Phase 4: Personalized Newsletter (COMPLETED)
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Goal:** Rank and select articles based on user interests
+
+**Files Created:**
+- `backend/services/personalization_service.py` - Core personalization logic
+- `backend/routes/personalization_routes.py` - API endpoints for testing
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `backend/app.py` - Register personalization routes
+
+**What it does:**
+- Scores articles based on user's category and keyword interests
+- Ranks articles by personalization score (0.0 to 1.0)
+- Selects mix of personalized (70%) + trending (30%) content
+- Provides explanations for recommendations
+
+**Algorithm:**
+```python
+score = (category_match * 0.4) + (keyword_match * 0.6)
+
+# Example:
+# User interests: sports=0.8, "Bayern Munich"=0.9
+# Article: sports category, keywords=["Bayern Munich", "Football"]
+# Score = (0.8 * 0.4) + (0.9 * 0.6) = 0.32 + 0.54 = 0.86
+```
+
+**API Endpoints:**
+```bash
+# Preview personalized newsletter
+GET /api/personalize/preview/<email>?max_articles=10&hours_lookback=24
+
+# Explain recommendation
+POST /api/personalize/explain
+Body: {"email": "user@example.com", "article_id": "..."}
+```
+
+**Test it:**
+```bash
+# Run test script
+docker exec munich-news-local-backend python test_personalization.py
+
+# Preview personalized newsletter
+curl "http://localhost:5001/api/personalize/preview/demo@example.com?max_articles=5"
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ All Phases Complete!
+
+1. ~~**Phase 1:** Keyword extraction from articles~~ ✅ DONE
+2. ~~**Phase 2:** Click tracking with keywords~~ ✅ DONE
+3. ~~**Phase 3:** User interest profiling~~ ✅ DONE
+4. ~~**Phase 4:** Personalized newsletter generation~~ ✅ DONE
+
+## Next Steps for Production
+
+1. **Integrate with newsletter sender** - Modify `news_sender/sender_service.py` to use personalization
+2. **A/B testing** - Compare personalized vs non-personalized engagement
+3. **Tune parameters** - Adjust personalization_ratio, weights, decay rates
+4. **Monitor metrics** - Track click-through rates, open rates by personalization score
+5. **User controls** - Add UI for users to view/edit their interests
+
+## Configuration
+
+No configuration needed yet. Keyword extraction uses existing Ollama settings from `backend/.env`:
+- `OLLAMA_ENABLED=true`
+- `OLLAMA_MODEL=gemma3:12b`
+- `OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://ollama:11434`

+
+## 📊 How It Works
+
+```
+1. User clicks article in newsletter
+   ↓
+2. System records: keywords + category
+   ↓
+3. Interest profile updates automatically
+   ↓
+4. Next newsletter: articles ranked by interests
+   ↓
+5. User receives personalized content
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+All phases have been tested and verified:
+
+```bash
+# Run comprehensive test suite (tests all 4 phases)
+docker exec munich-news-local-backend python test_personalization_system.py
+
+# Or test keyword extraction separately
+docker exec munich-news-local-crawler python -c "from crawler_service import crawl_all_feeds; crawl_all_feeds(max_articles_per_feed=2)"
+```
+
+## 🔌 API Endpoints
+
+### Interest Management
+```bash
+GET    /api/interests/<email>              # View profile
+GET    /api/interests/<email>/top          # Top interests
+POST   /api/interests/<email>/rebuild      # Rebuild from history
+GET    /api/interests/statistics           # Platform stats
+DELETE /api/interests/<email>              # Delete (GDPR)
+```
+
+### Personalization
+```bash
+GET  /api/personalize/preview/<email>      # Preview personalized newsletter
+POST /api/personalize/explain              # Explain recommendation
+```
+
+## 📈 Example Results
+
+### User Profile
+```json
+{
+  "email": "user@example.com",
+  "categories": {
+    "sports": 0.30,
+    "local": 0.10
+  },
+  "keywords": {
+    "Bayern Munich": 0.30,
+    "Football": 0.20,
+    "Transportation": 0.10
+  },
+  "total_clicks": 5
+}
+```
+
+### Personalized Newsletter
+```json
+{
+  "articles": [
+    {
+      "title": "Bayern Munich wins championship",
+      "personalization_score": 0.86,
+      "category": "sports",
+      "keywords": ["Bayern Munich", "Football"]
+    },
+    {
+      "title": "New S-Bahn line opens",
+      "personalization_score": 0.42,
+      "category": "local",
+      "keywords": ["Transportation", "Munich"]
+    }
+  ],
+  "statistics": {
+    "highly_personalized": 1,
+    "moderately_personalized": 1,
+    "trending": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 🎯 Scoring Algorithm
+
+```python
+# Article score calculation
+category_score = user_interests.categories[article.category]
+keyword_score = average(user_interests.keywords[kw] for kw in article.keywords)
+
+final_score = (category_score * 0.4) + (keyword_score * 0.6)
+```
+
+**Example:**
+- User: sports=0.8, "Bayern Munich"=0.9
+- Article: sports category, keywords=["Bayern Munich", "Football"]
+- Score = (0.8 × 0.4) + (0.9 × 0.6) = 0.32 + 0.54 = **0.86**
+
+## 🚀 Production Integration
+
+To integrate with the newsletter sender:
+
+1. **Modify `news_sender/sender_service.py`:**
+```python
+from services.personalization_service import select_personalized_articles
+
+# For each subscriber
+personalized_articles = select_personalized_articles(
+    all_articles,
+    subscriber_email,
+    max_articles=10
+)
+```
+
+2. **Enable personalization flag in config:**
+```env
+PERSONALIZATION_ENABLED=true
+PERSONALIZATION_RATIO=0.7  # 70% personalized, 30% trending
+```
+
+3. **Monitor metrics:**
+- Click-through rate by personalization score
+- Open rates for personalized vs non-personalized
+- User engagement over time
+
+## 🔐 Privacy & Compliance
+
+- ✅ Users can opt out of tracking
+- ✅ Interest profiles can be deleted (GDPR)
+- ✅ Automatic anonymization after 90 days
+- ✅ No PII beyond email address
+- ✅ Transparent recommendation explanations
+
