Domain-Driven Project Development

Our project development follows a domain-first approach, where domain ownership drives project creation and documentation structure.

🌐 From Domain to Project Pipeline

The Domain & Infrastructure Inventory serves dual purposes: 1. Infrastructure Reference: Track domain ownership, DNS, and hosting 2. Project Development Roadmap: Identify development opportunities

📊 Development Priority Matrix

Use the domain inventory to prioritize new projects:

Domain Status	Development Priority	Action
✅ Active + No Project Folder	High Priority	Create project documentation immediately
🧪 Testing	Medium Priority	Perfect for prototyping and experimentation
📦 Spare	Future Opportunity	Reserve for strategic development
❌ Expired	Cleanup	Remove or renew based on strategic value

🗂️ Project Structure Template

When activating a domain into a project, create:

docs/[project-name]/
├── index.md          # Project overview and goals
├── implementation.md  # Technical implementation details
├── status.md         # Current development status
└── deployment.md     # Hosting and infrastructure setup

📁 Project Organization Principle: Function Over Domain

Key Rule: Project placement is determined by function, not domain structure.

Organization Criteria

Network Infrastructure → Own folder
Serves multiple projects across the network
Cross-cutting functionality
Examples: btcpay/ (payment processing), directsponsor/authentication.md
Standalone Projects → Own folder
Independent functionality and user base
Distinct purpose or business model
Examples: clickforcharity/, roflfaucet/, directsponsor/
Supporting Systems → Under parent project
Serves one specific project
Examples: clickforcharity/social-media-extension.md
Cross-Network Features → features/ folder
Technical infrastructure affecting multiple projects
Examples: features/universal-coin-system.md

✅ BTCPay Case Study

Domain: btcpay.satoshihost.com (subdomain of satoshihost)
Function: Network-wide payment infrastructure for all projects
Decision: Gets own folder docs/btcpay/
Result: Easy to find, maintain, and reference across projects

🔄 Workflow Example

Domain Identified: Notice satoshihost.eu is marked "Testing" in inventory
Function Assessment: Determine if it needs own folder vs fits under existing project
Project Creation: Create appropriate folder structure based on function
Documentation: Write project overview, goals, and implementation plan
Infrastructure Update: Move domain from "Testing" to "Active" in inventory
Cross-Linking: Link from domain inventory to project documentation
Development: Begin actual development with proper documentation foundation

🆕 New Project Setup

CRITICAL: Before starting any new project with server infrastructure, use our comprehensive New Project Setup Checklist.

⚠️ Never deploy to production without backup integration! The checklist ensures: - Proper backup system integration - SSL certificate setup - Monitoring and alerting - Deploy script with git workflow - Security hardening
