ROADMAP & PHASED DEVELOPMENT

1. Phase 1 (MVP Launch)

Private & Confidential www.zepul.com


●​ User onboarding, basic feed, two perspectives, editorial uploads, fundamental
analytics.
●​ Prioritize acquiring steady content streams via RSS or API partnerships.

2. Phase 2
●​ Integrate advanced features: push notifications, AI-based perspective tagging,
advanced admin dashboards, improved moderation.
●​ Introduce multi-language expansions (e.g., more Indian languages).

3. Phase 3
●​ Monetization strategies (ads, subscriptions), fully automated perspective classification,
online access.
●​ Potential expansions to web crawling (scraping) and more publisher partnerships.

4. Phase 4
●​ Deeper personalization with ML recommendations, advanced editorial workflows,
global language coverage.
●​ Potential pivot or expansions to user-generated news content (like citizen journalism).

RISKS & DEPENDENCIES

1. Legal & Compliance


●​ Must respect publisher copyrights, local news regulations, content usage rights.
●​ Scraping policies (robots.txt compliance).

2. Data Quality & Source Reliability


●​ Ensuring the aggregator doesn’t serve fake news or biased coverage inadvertently.
●​ Partnerships with credible sources, or disclaimers regarding unverified sources.

3. Scalability
●​ Trakic spikes during major breaking events; must ensure the system can scale.

4. User Adoption & Engagement


●​ Need strong marketing, user feedback loops for a broad user base.
●​ Must keep the user interface intuitive to retain less tech-savvy audiences.

5. Technical Overhead
●​ Multiple language support, perspective classification, content ingestion all require
robust infrastructure and dev hours.

SUCCESS & CRITERIA METRICS

1. User Adoption
●​ Number of sign-ups, daily active users (DAU), monthly active users (MAU).

2. Engagement
●​ Likes, comments, shares, average session duration, average articles read per
session.

3. Content Quality
●​ Editor rating, user feedback, content diversity (variety of categories and
sources).

4. Operational Metrics
●​ Time to ingest news from sources, frequency of errors in ingestion, dashboards load
times.

Private & Confidential www.zepul.com


5. Revenue (Long-Term)
●​ Ad impressions, subscription conversions, or any other monetization channels.

ESSENTIALS FOR MVP


1.User Onboarding & Profile

1. Phone/Email Registration (OTP-based)


●​ Low friction sign-up with automatic user validation.
●​ Saves minimal user profile data (name/phone/email).

2. Terms & Conditions Acceptance


●​ Clear disclaimers on usage, data privacy, and content sourcing.

Rationale: Quick, easy onboarding gets new users into the app rapidly, while T&Cs cover legal
essentials.

2. Core News Feed

1. Basic Aggregation of News Stories


●​ Pull articles from a few reliable feeds (RSS/API) to ensure a steady flow of content.
●​ Tag or categorize them (Politics, Finance, Sports, etc.).

2. Two Perspectives Display (Primary USP)


●​ Display brief “Left” vs. “Right” viewpoints side by side on the story page.
●​ Keep it simple at first: one main perspective and a button/toggle to reveal the second.

3. “Full Coverage” Button (Basic Version)


●​ Link to a list of related articles covering the same story/event.
●​ Start with a straightforward approach: link only to 2–3 relevant sources (either curated
manually or from your aggregator).

Rationale: Showcasing multiple perspectives is the core differentiator. Start with minimal
categories and curated perspectives to prove the concept without overcomplicating the data
ingestion.

3. User Engagement

1. Likes & Shares


●​ Let users quickly react and share stories externally (e.g., WhatsApp, social media).
●​ Shared link should show a teaser (one perspective); full story reveals both sides
in-app.

2. Comments (Basic)
●​ Enable simple text comments under each article to foster community discussion.
●​ Minimal moderation tools (e.g., hide inappropriate language) can come later.

3. Bookmarks / Saved Articles


●​ Users can save articles for reading later.
●​ Bookmarks accessible via a simple “My Bookmarks” screen.

Rationale: Likes, shares, and bookmarks are easy engagement wins. Comments can be
limited but included in an MVP if resources allow, as it enhances stickiness and user

Private & Confidential www.zepul.com


interaction.

4.Basic Admin & Editor Dashboards

1. Story Creation & Editing


●​ Allow internal editors to write or modify stories in at least one language (e.g., English).
●​ Optionally enable Telugu as a second language if it’s straightforward for your editorial
team.

2. Basic Analytics
●​ Simple view of top stories, daily/weekly/monthly visits, and user engagement
(likes/shares).
●​ Must-have stats for iterative improvements and content strategy.

3. Role-Based Access
●​ Editor: Can create/edit/publish stories.
●​ Admin: Same plus the ability to see analytics.
●​ Super Admin (if needed): Manage user roles and app-wide settings.

Rationale: At an MVP level, you need only a simple dashboard for internal users to upload
stories and track basic performance. Over time, you can add advanced approval flows and
deeper analytics.

5. Sentiment Meter (Simplified)

1. Display Basic Sentiment Indicator


●​ Could be as simple as showing how many likes each perspective is getting (Green vs.
Red).
●​ Keep it lightweight: no complex algorithm yet, just a tally of user reactions.

Rationale: This captures the “crowd’s preference” at a glance, reinforcing the dual
perspective concept.

6. Minimal Content Ingestion Setup

1. RSS/Atom Feed Integration


●​ Choose 2–3 high-quality news sources with open RSS feeds.
●​ Pull headlines and short summaries automatically.

2. Optional: Content Aggregation API


●​ If you can integrate a single aggregator (e.g., NewsAPI) for broader coverage without
heavy dev work.
●​ Keep monthly cost/usage in mind if it’s paid.

3. Manual/Editor Feed
●​ Allow editors to directly upload content or paste article summaries if feed
coverage is lacking.

Rationale: This balance ensures you have fresh, automated news plus manual curation to
highlight your USP.

7. Basic Architecture & Performance

1. Responsive Front End

Private & Confidential www.zepul.com


●​ A single web app or a basic mobile app (depending on your go-to-market strategy).
●​ Optimize for quick load times and easy navigation.

2. Simple Back End with Caching


●​ Cache popular articles to reduce load and ensure snappy performance. o Cron
jobs or scheduled tasks to refresh feeds (every 15–30 minutes).

Rationale: MVP performance is best kept simple: focus on stability and a smooth user
experience before scaling up.

8. Feature Prioritization Within the MVP

1. Must-Have
●​ User Onboarding
●​ Core Feed with Two Perspectives
●​ Basic Engagement (Likes, Bookmarks, Shares)
●​ Editor Dashboard (Write/Edit Stories, Minimal Stats)
●​ RSS Feed Integration

2. Nice-to-Have (If Capacity Allows)


●​ Simple Commenting
●​ Sentiment Meter
●​ “Full Coverage” Linking (Even if just a small list of related articles) or
Multi-language editorial input (Telugu/English)

Tip: If engineering resources are limited, consider deferring features like advanced “Full
Coverage” clustering or complex comment moderation to a post-MVP phase.

9. Why This MVP Is Enough

●​ Validates Core Value Prop: Shows the dual-perspective approach in a


functional news aggregator.
●​ Builds Initial User Base: Basic engagement features (like, share, bookmark)
will help you attract and retain early adopters.
●​ Supports Early Monetization/Partnership: Even minimal analytics and content
ingestion set the stage for partner or investor discussions.

RESOURCE ALLOCATION

experience.

Total Full-Time Personnel: ~6 (1 PM, 1 UX, 2 FE devs, 1 BE dev, 1 QA)


Optional: 1 DevOps (part-time or folded into back-end dev).

2. Infrastructure & Tooling

1. Version Control & CI/CD

minutes.
●​ Basic feed parser library (e.g., Feedparser in Python or node-feedparser in Node.js).

TIMELINES AND MILESTONES (2 MONTHS)

Below is a sample sprint plan for a 2-month timeline with a 4-week MVP target. Each “Week”

●​ Partial admin analytics view (stubbed or partial data).

Week 4

Private & Confidential www.zepul.com
