# ObjectDocs Development Roadmap

This document outlines the development plan and feature roadmap for ObjectDocs, a GitHub-native documentation engine optimized for Vercel deployment.

## 🎯 Core Mission

ObjectDocs is purpose-built for **GitHub-based repository documentation** with seamless **Vercel deployment integration**. Our core objectives:

1. **Git-Native Workflow**: Leverage GitHub's collaboration features (PRs, reviews, issues) as the primary content management system
2. **Zero-Config Deployment**: Push to GitHub, auto-deploy to Vercel with optimal caching and CDN distribution
3. **Developer-First**: Treat documentation as code—version controlled, peer-reviewed, and CI/CD integrated

## 📅 Development Roadmap

### Phase 1: GitHub Integration & Vercel Optimization (Q1 2026)

<Cards>
<Card icon={<GitBranch />} title="GitHub-Native Features">

**Goal**: Deep integration with GitHub repository workflows

- [ ] GitHub App for automated documentation syncing
- [ ] PR preview deployments via Vercel integration
- [ ] GitHub Issues integration for documentation feedback
- [ ] GitHub Actions workflows for automated builds and checks
- [ ] Branch-based documentation versioning

**Technical Implementation**:
- Use GitHub REST/GraphQL APIs for content fetching
- Implement Vercel Git integration hooks
- Create reusable GitHub Actions for linting and validation
- Support monorepo documentation with git submodules

</Card>

<Card icon={<Rocket />} title="Vercel Deployment Pipeline">

**Goal**: Optimize for Vercel's edge network and build system

- [ ] ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) configuration
- [ ] Edge Functions for dynamic content
- [ ] Optimal caching strategies (stale-while-revalidate)
- [ ] Preview deployments for every PR
- [ ] Production deployment automation

**Technical Implementation**:
- Configure `vercel.json` for optimal routing
- Implement edge middleware for A/B testing
- Use Vercel Analytics for performance monitoring
- Integrate Vercel Image Optimization
- Set up custom domains with SSL automation

</Card>
</Cards>

### Phase 2: Enhanced Developer Experience (Q2 2026)

<Cards>
<Card icon={<Code />} title="CLI & Automation Tools">

**Goal**: Streamline repository-to-documentation workflow

- [ ] Enhanced ObjectDocs CLI with GitHub integration
- [ ] Automated content migration from README files
- [ ] Code snippet extraction from repository files
- [ ] API documentation generation from source code
- [ ] Automated changelog generation from commits

**Technical Implementation**:
- Extend `@objectdocs/cli` with GitHub API features
- Use TypeScript AST parsing for API extraction
- Integrate conventional commits for changelog
- Support multi-repo documentation aggregation

</Card>

<Card icon={<Sparkles />} title="AI-Powered Documentation Assistant">

**Goal**: Leverage AI to enhance documentation quality

- [ ] AI-powered search with semantic understanding
- [ ] Auto-generate documentation from code comments
- [ ] Intelligent content suggestions based on repository
- [ ] Documentation quality scoring and recommendations
- [ ] Automated translation support

**Technical Implementation**:
- Integrate OpenAI API or local LLM models
- Use vector databases (Pinecone/Weaviate) for semantic search
- Implement Markdown AST analysis for content quality
- Support embeddings for documentation similarity

</Card>
</Cards>

### Phase 3: Collaboration & Advanced Features (Q3 2026)

<Cards>
<Card icon={<Globe />} title="Multi-Repository Documentation Hub">

**Goal**: Unified documentation across multiple GitHub repositories

- [ ] Cross-repository search and navigation
- [ ] Centralized documentation portal for organizations
- [ ] Repository-level access control
- [ ] Automated aggregation from multiple sources
- [ ] Unified version management across repos

**Technical Implementation**:
- GitHub Organization API integration
- Implement repository discovery and indexing
- Support GitHub Teams for access control
- Create aggregated search index

</Card>

<Card icon={<Shield />} title="Enterprise GitHub Features">

**Goal**: Support GitHub Enterprise and advanced workflows

- [ ] GitHub Enterprise Server compatibility
- [ ] SAML/SSO integration via GitHub
- [ ] Fine-grained repository permissions
- [ ] Audit logging for documentation changes
- [ ] GitHub Advanced Security integration

**Technical Implementation**:
- Support GitHub Enterprise API endpoints
- Integrate with GitHub's OIDC provider
- Use GitHub's permission model for access control
- Implement webhook-based audit trails

</Card>
</Cards>

## 🔧 Technical Infrastructure

### GitHub Workflow Optimization
- [ ] Automated dependency updates via Dependabot
- [ ] GitHub Actions for continuous deployment
- [ ] Pull request checks and status badges
- [ ] Automated release notes from git tags
- [ ] Issue templates for documentation requests

### Vercel Platform Features
- [ ] Edge Config for dynamic feature flags
- [ ] Vercel KV for caching layer
- [ ] Serverless Functions for API endpoints
- [ ] Web Analytics integration
- [ ] A/B testing with Edge Middleware

### Performance & SEO
- [ ] Lighthouse score optimization (95+ target)
- [ ] Core Web Vitals monitoring
- [ ] Automatic sitemap generation from git history
- [ ] OpenGraph metadata from repository info
- [ ] Structured data for search engines

## 🚀 Deployment Architecture

### Recommended Setup
```yaml
Repository Structure:
├── content/ # Documentation MDX files
├── .github/
│ └── workflows/ # CI/CD automation
├── vercel.json # Deployment configuration
└── docs.site.json # Site metadata
```

### CI/CD Pipeline
1. **Push to GitHub** → Triggers Vercel build
2. **PR Created** → Generates preview deployment
3. **Merge to main** → Auto-deploys to production
4. **Git Tag** → Creates versioned documentation
