Implements issue #56 with a timeline-style activity feed showing recent user activity across the library. Activity Types Displayed: - Suggestions: Shows suggested items with status badges - Likes: Shows liked content with links to items - Comments: Shows comments with preview text - Achievements: Shows earned achievements with icons and points Database & Backend: - Created ActivityService to aggregate from existing data sources - No new database table needed (uses existing suggestions, likes, comments, achievements) - Efficient querying with parallel data fetching - Privacy-aware: Only shows activity from users with profilePublic: true - Filters out banned users automatically API Endpoints: - GET /api/activity - Get general activity feed with pagination - GET /api/activity/:userId - Get specific user's activity - Query parameters: limit (max 100, default 50), offset (default 0) - Returns: activities array, total count, hasMore flag Frontend Activity Feed: - Beautiful timeline layout with user avatars and badges - Relative timestamps ("5m ago", "2h ago", "3d ago") - Activity type icons (💡 💬 ❤️ 🏆) - Colour-coded status badges for suggestions - Comment previews with styled quote blocks - Achievement displays with icons and points - Infinite scroll with "Load More" button - Links to user profiles and content items UI Components: - Responsive card-based design - User avatars with placeholder fallback - Badge display (STAFF, MOD, VIP, primary badges) - Entity links that route to appropriate media pages - Clean typography and spacing - Loading and empty states Privacy & Performance: - Respects profilePublic setting (existing privacy control) - Only displays activity from non-banned users - Pagination to prevent loading too much data - Efficient aggregation with limit multipliers - Clean separation of concerns (service/routes/component) Navigation: - Added /activity route - Added "📰 Activity Feed" link to user dropdown menu - Positioned between Leaderboard and About Implementation Notes: - Built entirely from existing data (no activity table needed) - Retroactive: Shows all historical activity automatically - Type-safe with full TypeScript interfaces - Activity union type for type discrimination - Standalone Angular component - Clean, maintainable code structure

✨ Your new, shiny Nx workspace is ready ✨.
Learn more about this workspace setup and its capabilities or run npx nx graph to visually explore what was created. Now, let's get you up to speed!
Run tasks
To run the dev server for your app, use:
npx nx serve frontend
To create a production bundle:
npx nx build frontend
To see all available targets to run for a project, run:
npx nx show project frontend
These targets are either inferred automatically or defined in the project.json or package.json files.
More about running tasks in the docs »
Add new projects
While you could add new projects to your workspace manually, you might want to leverage Nx plugins and their code generation feature.
Use the plugin's generator to create new projects.
To generate a new application, use:
npx nx g @nx/angular:app demo
To generate a new library, use:
npx nx g @nx/angular:lib mylib
You can use npx nx list to get a list of installed plugins. Then, run npx nx list <plugin-name> to learn about more specific capabilities of a particular plugin. Alternatively, install Nx Console to browse plugins and generators in your IDE.

Set up CI!
Step 1
To connect to Nx Cloud, run the following command:
npx nx connect
Connecting to Nx Cloud ensures a fast and scalable CI pipeline. It includes features such as:
- Remote caching
- Task distribution across multiple machines
- Automated e2e test splitting
- Task flakiness detection and rerunning
Step 2
Use the following command to configure a CI workflow for your workspace:
npx nx g ci-workflow
Install Nx Console
Nx Console is an editor extension that enriches your developer experience. It lets you run tasks, generate code, and improves code autocompletion in your IDE. It is available for VSCode and IntelliJ.
