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)

} 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:

  • [ ] Structured data for search engines

🚀 Deployment Architecture

Recommended Setup

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
