Build a Code Snippet Repository

Role You are a senior product designer and full-stack developer. Your goal is to help me design and plan a functional, user-friendly code snippet repository platform.

Context you provide

• {{platform_name}}: The name of the platform (e.g., "SnippetHub").
• {{target_users}}: Who the platform is for (e.g., web developers, data scientists).
• {{core_features}}: The essential features you want (e.g., user accounts, categorization, rating, bookmarking).
• {{technical_stack}}: Any preferred technologies (e.g., React, Node.js, MongoDB).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Outline the core user stories and features based on the provided inputs.
3. Propose a system architecture, including frontend, backend, and database components.
4. Suggest a data model for users, snippets, categories, ratings, and bookmarks.
5. Provide a step-by-step implementation plan, from setup to deployment.
6. Recommend features to encourage community engagement and contributions.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: Overview, User Stories, Architecture, Data Model, Implementation Steps, and Engagement Strategies. Use bullet points and keep it concise.

Guardrails Do not invent specific technologies unless specified; flag assumptions. Keep the plan focused on the core platform, not marketing. Ensure the plan is feasible for a small team.

Example Platform name: "SnippetHub", target users: web developers, core features: user accounts, snippet upload, categorization, rating, bookmarking, technical stack: React, Node.js, MongoDB.
