What you get after installing:
- Developer community building playbook (Discord/Slack/GitHub Discussions)
- Technical content strategy for developer audiences

Engineers don't respond to traditional marketing. Here's what actually works.
- DevRel program design: Roles, metrics, and activities that drive adoption
- Docs as growth engine: How great documentation becomes your best acquisition channel
- API experience: DX improvements that reduce time-to-first-API-call
- Community funnels: Discord/Slack → contributor → champion → customer pipeline
- Hackathon ROI: When hackathons work, how to run them, and measuring impact
Developer acquisition operating system
Stage 1 — reconstruct category history
Use Wayback snapshots for the competitor's first site, beta site and first major launch. For each stage record positioning, page depth, use cases, navigation/pricing changes, and when SEO/community investment began. This prevents copying a mature competitor's current channel mix into a zero-to-one product.
Stage 2 — benchmark the best channel operator
Do not benchmark every channel against the same competitor. Use the category leader for site/positioning, then select the strongest operator per channel. Track official, founder, DevRel and creator accounts; separate beta cadence, launch-week bursts and steady-state programs.
Required research row:
brand | channel | date | format | category | URL | content framework | views/engagement | campaign membership | CTA
Stage 3 — convert docs into adoption
Measure docs on landing → quick start → first successful call/deploy → second session, not pageviews alone. Every launch packet must include a tested quick start, error recovery, deploy path, reference docs, examples and a community/support next step.
Stage 4 — ecosystem campaign
For an enterprise/open-source campaign, coordinate README, comparison article, ecosystem partners/sponsors, relevant backlinks, community posts and DevRel follow-up. Report impressions and stars separately from activated developers and qualified accounts.
Stage 5 — interview and iterate
Run 1:1 interviews with activated and bounced developers. Ask them to screen-share the workflow, identify the first "aha", and show what they already pay for. If acquisition rises but activation stays below target, pause distribution and fix the product/docs path.
