Impact: Medium - Core user experience feature missing
Current: No nickname/call sign fields in User interface
Files: src/types/forum.ts:5-24
Fix Required: Add nickname field and call sign setup UI
❌ Bookmarking System (Requirement #21)
Impact: Medium - Important usability feature
Current: No local storage or bookmark functionality found
Files: None found
Fix Required: Implement local bookmark storage and UI
❌ Developer Library (Requirement #28)
