The MVP

As usual, during the Discovery phase, we thoroughly document the scope of the project.

To document and separate the must-have features versus those that can wait, we created 2 user story maps: for the desktop and the mobile versions.

Yup, still Russian. Sorry c:

Secure, passwordless authorization

To save some time (and get more modern), we decided to avoid the login-password authorization pair method.

Instead, we went with One-Time Password method with a "magic link" sent to the e-mail.

Authorization dialog with just an e-mail field.

No-CMS content edit

Everyone can publish articles on the website. So we designed the interface in a way that it would look the same no matter what are the user's permissions.

Components system foundation

While working on design, we've built a small set of atomic modules that will help iterate on future updates of the product and increase the speed of experiments.
