Development Roadmap

Our journey to build a vibrant tech community platform that connects Detroit's creative minds

1

Core Product & Admin Experience

Have a functioning public site with an admin panel to manage the main content types: Events, Projects, Blog.

Projects DirectoryPriority #1

  • Admin Tools: Add/create/edit projects from backend
  • Public Pages: Project list view with filters (topic, status, community)
  • Individual project detail pages with description, media, contact link
  • Linked Content: Blogs related to the project automatically listed on the project page

Blog System

  • Adapt Barefoot Dev's blog components
  • Admin Tools: Create/edit posts in the panel
  • Content Strategy
    • Project updates
    • Event recaps
    • Announcements
  • Cross-linking: Blog posts link to related projects/events

Events Listing

  • Integrate simplified version of ArtNight's events admin
  • Public Pages: Event list view (by date)
  • Event detail pages with description, time, location, and related projects/blogs

Admin Panel Integration

  • Single dashboard for managing projects, events, and blogs
  • Ability to attach tags/categories for cross-content linking
2

Federated Ecosystem

Make Vibecode Detroit part of a shared network of events/projects/blogs, allowing multiple sites to exchange data seamlessly.

Federated Data Model

  • Define shared schemas for events, projects, and blogs
  • Add API endpoints for public consumption and for syncing with other sites (e.g., BuildDetroit, ArtNight)

Cross-Site Content Sync

  • Auto-import events/projects/blogs from connected community sites
  • Enable publishing from Vibecode Detroit to partner platforms

Decentralized Foundations

  • Explore DID (Decentralized Identifier) support for future user account systems
  • Maintain compatibility so contributors from other sites can post without "double accounts"
