```
### Key Technical Decisions
1. **Pure Static Site**
- No server-side code required
- All processing happens in browser
- Fully portable and distributable
2. **Client-Side Search**
- Fuse.js for fuzzy matching
- Instant results
- Works offline
3. **JSON Data Format**
- Easy to parse in JavaScript
- Human-readable for debugging
- Supports full Unicode
4. **Minimal Dependencies**
- Only Fuse.js external library
- Pure HTML/CSS/JS otherwise
- No build process required
5. **Responsive Design**
- Mobile-first approach
- Flexible grid layouts
- Touch-friendly UI

## Future Enhancements (Optional)
Potential improvements for future versions:
1. **Incremental Export**
- Only export changed documents
- Faster regeneration
2. **Advanced Visualizations**
- Interactive knowledge graphs
- 3D topic visualizations
- Network diagrams
3. **Enhanced Search**
- Search suggestions
- Advanced filters
- Search analytics
4. **PWA Support**
