8. Roadmap
Table of Contents
Phase 1: Launch #
Project technical stage: MVP development, prototyping.
Focus: regular content production, material accumulation, building a publishing habit. The blog functions as a working diary — documenting the product creation process, research, architectural decisions, and reflections.
Channels:
- Blog (RU + EN) — primary channel.
- Telegram — adapted versions of selected posts, automatic news publications.
- Word of mouth — manual link sharing.
Primary KPIs (from the metrics catalog):
- Number of published posts (production metric) — regularity and volume of accumulated material.
- Telegram subscriber count (G1) — initial audience growth.
- Telegram post views (G1) — initial response.
Condition for transitioning to the next phase: a sufficient volume of material has been accumulated for a series of articles on external platforms. The project is technically ready for pilot operation.
Phase 2: Expansion #
Project technical stage: pilot operation, technical maturity.
Focus: launching on external platforms. Accumulated material is reworked into a series of articles and published on media platforms — in a concentrated manner to ensure publication regularity and reach a critical mass of coverage and subscribers (target — several hundred subscribers on external platforms).
Channels:
- Blog and Telegram — continue operating in Phase 1 mode.
- Habr — technical articles.
- Zen — philosophical and societal content.
- Medium — English-language versions of key articles.
- Telegram — warm-up posts are added: announcements, topic discussions, polls.
Primary KPIs (from the metrics catalog):
- Subscribers on external platforms: Habr, Zen, Medium (G1) — absolute value and growth.
- Views and read-throughs of articles on external platforms (G1) — reach and content quality.
- CTR of links to blog and Telegram (G1) — effectiveness of driving traffic to owned channels.
- Telegram ER (G1) — engagement growth with the introduction of interactive formats.
- Number of published articles on external platforms (production metric).
Condition for transitioning to the next phase: a sustainable audience has been established on external platforms. The project is technically ready for production operation and scaling.
Phase 3: Growth #
Project technical stage: production operation, scaling.
Focus: organic audience growth, deepening community engagement, client acquisition. Growth rates depend on the demand and popularity of publications. All distribution channels are operating at full capacity.
Channels: all channels are active, including Discord as a working platform for clients and developers.
Primary KPIs (from the metrics catalog):
- ER across all platforms (G1) — depth of audience engagement.
- Project mentions in external blogs, podcasts, channels (G1) — organic spread.
- Direct client inquiries (G2) — content-to-business conversion.
- Search engine rankings (G1, G2) — long-term visibility.
- Issues and PRs from external contributors (G3) — if open source components exist.
- Discord member count (G2, G3) — growth of the working community.
