The Launch Checklist
FeatureDrop is a critical piece of application infrastructure. If your FeatureDropProvider fails to mount, it can block users from interacting with your entire React tree.
Use this rigorous pre-flight checklist before every major featuredrop package bump or docs release to ensure maximum stability.
1) Build & Type Safety
Before merging to main, ensure the local environment is pristine:
-
pnpm buildpasses without TS errors. -
pnpm lintyields zero warnings. -
pnpm testcore utility suites are green. -
pnpm docs:buildcompletes the Next.js static asset export successfully. -
pnpm --dir apps/docs qa:metadatapasses against exported docs pages.
2) Documentation Quality
The apps/docs site is the primary marketing and educational surface:
- Read through the
/docs/quickstartsequentially to ensure the copy matches the current API. - Verify at least one interactive live
<Demo />works for every core component family. - Toggle Dark and Light mode to ensure CSS Custom Properties are overriding correctly without contrast issues.
- Ensure footer copyright links (
AskVerdict AI,GLINR STUDIOS,GLINCKER) are valid and not dead.
3) Funnel & Conversion
Test the critical path for a new developer discovering the project:
- The Landing Page's primary CTA routes correctly to
/docs/quickstart. - The Quickstart's trailing CTA routes correctly to the
/playground. - Ensure Outbound Analytics tracking events (
PlausibleorGoogle Analytics) are firing correctly in the network tab when navigating between pages. - Confirm
page_viewevents fire on both initial page load and client-side route transitions.
SEO & Social Validation:
Always verify that robots.txt and sitemap.xml are correctly generated during the build. Paste the production deployment URL into the Twitter Card Validator (opens in a new tab) to ensure the /og/featuredrop-docs.svg asset renders perfectly.
4) Release Hygiene
- Write a new Changelog entry detailing breaking changes for the community.
- Bump the
package.jsonversion using strict SemVer rules. - Verify the GitHub Actions CI pipeline or Vercel deployment succeeded without silent failures.
