JetBrains: Create “making of” blog post or video

Created by: vdavid

The idea is to create a longer-form piece based on the progress spreadsheet. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P5S_xavDnpepacGDLzdBaYBytihJg7dZUwO0Yx-qFTw/edit#). Audience: Developers in our target market. We can also reach a tech-savvy audience through the JetBrains blog. Medium: An article or video. Include screenshots/videos/demos of the different stages. We have all versions in git history, so we can technically recreate all stages, including past bugs. Length: It would be significantly longer than the [announcement post]: a longer article, or a 5–20 min video. Content ideas:

  • the rollercoaster of the development timeline: challenges and how you all overcame them
  • key milestones
  • key elements of the code
  • technical decisions

Expectation: If successful, it might increase the hype around the plugin among developers.
