Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Vimeo. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- live streaming, webinars, and events
- auto captions, chapters, and the accessibility tooling around them
- viewer analytics and engagement graphs
- OTT, pay-per-view, and the monetization stack
- a player QA'd against every browser, smart TV, and embed surface
- traffic spikes absorbed by someone else's bandwidth bill
