Phase 1
Foundation
The records everything else depends on: organizations, memberships, authors, books, series and the brand kit.
- Identity and accounts
- Multi-tenancy
- Structured author data
- Brand foundation
Roadmap
Four phases, in the order they have to happen
Each phase is only worth building once the one before it is solid. The prototype demonstrates the first two completely and the third and fourth as working interfaces.
Represented in the prototype
Phase 2
Visual Builder
A platform-owned component catalogue, a token system, and an editing surface that renders the real site rather than an approximation.
- Template families
- Component registry
- Design tokens
- Page builder
Phase 3
Publishing
Draft, review, schedule, publish and roll back — with domains, SSL and a canonical address. The prototype simulates DNS and certificate issuance.
- Custom domains
- Publishing workflows
- Public renderer
- Scheduled releases
Phase 4
Growth
Where the platform stops being a website tool: audience relationships, direct sales, launch automation and discovery between author sites.
- Analytics
- Reader CRM
- Commerce
- Automation
- Discovery
Where this is going
AuthorOS is not intended to end as a better website builder. The structured author record is meant to power launches, press kits, events, campaigns, commerce, reader relationships, analytics and discovery — with the website as one output among several.
