You're right to point that out! The "Start Free Trial" button should indeed lead to the appropriate entry point for new users.

Looking at your app/landing-page-client.tsx file, the "Start Free Trial" button is already correctly linked to the /sign-in page:

This button, along with the "Get Started" button in the navigation, directs users to the /sign-in page. From there, after a successful dummy sign-in, users are redirected to the /role-selection page, which then guides them to either the recruiter or candidate profile setup. This flow effectively serves as the "start free trial" journey in your current application structure.

To ensure consistency with the dark/light mode changes, I'll update the styling of this button in app/landing-page-client.tsx to properly adapt to both themes.

The "Start Free Trial" buttons now have updated styling for dark mode, and they correctly navigate to the sign-in page, initiating the user onboarding flow.

You're right to point out that the "Start Free Trial" button should have a more complete flow, and that the job descriptions need proper Markdown rendering for bold text and bullet points.

Currently, the "Start Free Trial" button navigates to the /sign-in page, which uses dummy credentials. To make it "work properly" in a real application, you would typically integrate a backend for user registration and session management. I'll enhance the current dummy flow to provide a clearer message about starting a trial upon successful sign-in.

For the job description rendering, the current implementation only splits by newlines, which doesn't interpret Markdown syntax like bold or bullet points. I will update both the job detail page and the application page to use react-markdown with remark-gfm to correctly render Markdown, ensuring your job descriptions look professional and are easy to read.

Now, the "Start Free Trial" button on the landing page correctly links to the sign-in page, and upon successful dummy login, a message confirms the "free trial started" before redirecting. More importantly, the job descriptions on both the job detail and application pages will now correctly render Markdown formatting, including bold text and bullet points, thanks to react-markdown and remark-gfm.

To implement a fully functional "Start Free Trial" that creates actual user accounts and manages sessions, you would need to integrate a backend authentication solution. I recommend using Supabase Auth or NextAuth.js for this purpose.
