GIN Product Roadmap

Add rich structured data for articles, site, breadcrumbs, and live feed.

On the main layout, render Organization, WebSite, and BreadcrumbList JSON-LD. On article pages, render NewsArticle/LiveBlogPosting with headline, description, datePublished, dateModified, author, reviewedBy, mainEntityOfPage, about tickers, and isBasedOn for syndicated content. For the live feed, consider LiveBlogPosting with frequent updates.

Standardize URL patterns for articles, tickers, and macro content.

Update routing (e.g., Next.js app router) to use: /article/{yyyy}/{mm}/{slug}, /stocks/{symbol}/{slug}, /macro/{topic-slug}. Create a slug generator from source headline + primary ticker. Add redirect rules from any legacy UUID-based article paths to new semantic URLs.

Avoid duplicate-content penalties while preserving value-add commentary.

Ensure each article sets <link rel="canonical"> to the GIN article URL. Only use cross-domain canonical to the original publisher if the content is effectively mirrored. Expose original source in UI as 'Source: {publisher}' and in JSON-LD via isBasedOn.

Enforce fast initial render and lazy-load heavy widgets.

Define a performance budget (LCP < 2.5s on mobile, CLS < 0.1). Use Lighthouse CI or Web Vitals in CI. Lazy-load markets tables, X/ticker feed, and heavy charts using dynamic import or React Server Components. Keep hero headline and first few top stories in the critical path.

Improve indexation speed and coverage for time-sensitive content.

Generate sitemap.xml with sections for news, tickers, and static pages. Generate sitemap-news.xml containing last 48 hours of news articles with <news:news> entries (publication, title, publication_date, news:keywords). Update sitemaps on each article ingestion and notify search engines.

Drive higher SERP CTR and social engagement.

For each article, generate a unique <title> and meta description (~150 chars) using AI summarization with keyword hints. Use Next.js OG image generation to produce a card with ticker, % move, and truncated headline. Set Twitter card type to summary_large_image.

Boost topical authority via structured hubs.

Create dynamic hub pages for major themes (AI & Chips, Energy & Commodities, Macro & Fed, Crypto & Web3). Each hub aggregates news, explainer content, relevant tickers, and commodity rooms. Link relevant article cards back to these hubs via 'Explore this theme' links.

Expose human oversight on AI summaries for YMYL compliance.

Introduce author/editor profiles with bios, credentials, and social links. Label summaries as 'GIN AI summary, reviewed by {Editor}'. Include author and reviewedBy in JSON-LD. Surface an About/Editorial Standards page linked sitewide.

Serve appropriate regional content and avoid geo-duplicate issues.

Introduce subfolders /us, /eu, /asia for regional hubs. Add hreflang tags on these pages: en-US, en-GB, en, etc. Start by routing US macro content and US trading-hours pages to /us and EU macro/regulation pages to /eu.

Capture 'position zero' for recurring investor questions.

Create dedicated Q&A pages for recurring queries (e.g., 'Is the stock market open today?'). Structure as <h1> question + 1-2 sentence answer + details. Add FAQPage schema with multiple Q/A pairs and link from relevant live news cards.

Allow users to track tickers and filter the feed by their lists.

Implement authenticated and guest watchlists using localStorage + user profiles. Add 'Add to Watchlist' CTAs on ticker mentions and Market Movers cards. Expose a 'My Watchlist' filtered view of news and markets tables. Defer broker integrations to a later phase.

Visualize sector/region sentiment vs. price moves.

Compute sentiment scores per sector/region from your existing AI summaries and source tone. Render a heatmap grid (rows: sectors/regions, cols: 1d / 5d change). On click, deep link to a filtered live feed for that sector/region.

Provide simplified explanations and daily deltas for each story/ticker.

Add 'Explain in plain English' button on article/ticker pages to show 3-bullet summary (what, why, who). Add 'What changed since yesterday?' button that compares today's article summary with prior-day state for the same ticker/topic.

Let users subscribe to alerts tied to events and sentiment thresholds.

Extend alert model to support conditions on events (jobs report, Fed, earnings, FCC docket, court case) and sentiment levels. Alert rule examples: 'Notify if implied move > X%', 'Alert if sentiment turns bearish for BTC within 24h'. Deliver via email + push.

Enable social discovery of themed watchlists.

Represent watchlists as shareable entities with slugs /lists/{user}/{slug}. Add privacy: private, shared via link, or public. UI: display list description, tickers, and a 'fork this list' button that clones into viewer's account.

Upgrade existing SEC/SEDAR/FCC blocks to an interactive dashboard.

Unify SEC, SEDAR+, FCC, and other filings into a dedicated /regulation endpoint. Add filters (ticker, regulator, filing type, date). Add contextual tags (Earnings, Governance, Ownership, Risk). Show a timeline for major proceedings like FCC Docket 24-275.

Let users test simple strategies using your news timestamps.

Implement a backtest module using article timestamps + EOD prices pulled from a market data API. Predefine a few basic strategies (e.g., buy after large positive macro surprise, fade large after-hours gaps). Show P/L curves and simple stats; label clearly as educational only.

Translate AI summaries into major languages on click.

Add a language dropdown to article summary blocks (EN default, ES, ZH, PT-BR to start). On selection, request translation for summary and key bullets and cache per article/language combo. Do not translate full article content initially.

Expose a more data-dense view for advanced users.

Add a global toggle (Retail / Pro). In Pro mode, expand 'Today's Markets' with more metrics (volume, 1w/1m change, realized vol, IV where available) and add CSV export. Optimize layout for desktop.

Create event-centric overlays for Fed, jobs report, earnings, etc.

Implement an 'event banner' component pinned above live feed during active events. Show countdown, live headline bullets, and biggest movers related to that event. Reuse existing card styles to minimize design work.

Produce in-depth weekly thematic reports using existing coverage.

Editorial process: pick a dominant theme (e.g., Iran & oil, AI chips, FCC docket). Synthesize key stories, charts, and filings into a longform article with internal links. Feature on homepage and in email newsletter.

Add clearly-labeled opinion pieces from external experts.

Create a 'Views' or 'Opinion' content type with separate styling and schema (OpinionNewsArticle). Onboard a small set of vetted contributors (PMs, economists, lawyers). Require disclosures and editorial review before publishing.

Turn existing data into templated visual narratives.

Create a 'storyboard' layout component that stacks charts, tables, and cards (e.g., Oil Storyboard, Bitcoin + Fed). Feed it data from existing markets, live feed, and filings endpoints. Publish as special feature pages and share on social.

Score each item's likely market impact.

Define an internal scoring model using short-term price/volume reaction, novelty vs recent headlines, and relevance of tickers/sectors. Store a 1-10 impact score per article and display as a small badge on cards and ticker pages.

Summarize flows and sector performance in a repeatable format.

Once a month, generate a report template: sector returns, ETF flows, top winners/losers, key macro events. Auto-generate charts from your market data. Offer as web page + downloadable PDF.

Beginner-friendly explainers linked to live news.

Create a /learn hub with short explainers on ETFs, options, Fed, CPI, SEC filings, etc. Link from relevant live feed cards via 'New to this? Learn the basics' chips. Add FAQ schema to each explainer for SEO.

Weekly pieces that challenge consensus narratives.

Editorially select crowded trades/themes (e.g., AI, energy transition) and produce one counterpoint article per week. Label clearly as 'Counterpoint' and cross-link from standard theme hubs as an alternative view.

Weekly focus on a specific region with macro + flows.

Each week, choose a region (Asia, LatAm, Africa, Europe) and compile a short macro briefing: flows, FX, local indices, key political/reg events. Use consistent layout, so dev builds the template once and editorial populates.

Audio/video summaries of top stories for commuters.

Produce daily/weekly 3-5 minute recaps based on 'Top Stories' and 'Today's Markets'. Host via a podcast/video platform and embed players on homepage. Add VideoObject schema for SEO.

Forward-looking list of upcoming catalysts.

Generate a daily note with 5-10 upcoming events (earnings, macro releases, Fed speeches, regulatory deadlines) and 1-sentence commentary. Place at the end of the homepage feed and include in email digests.

Improve search UX with structured suggestions and tabs.

Implement a search service indexing articles, tickers, topics, and filings. Autocomplete: show suggested tickers, companies, and themes as user types. Results page with tabs: All, News, Markets, Filings, Tweets.

Create canonical pages for each actively-mentioned ticker.

For tickers appearing in markets tables or Market Movers, generate /stocks/{symbol} pages. Include latest summaries, mini chart, key filings, and influential tweets for that ticker.

Let users save customized homepage configurations.

Allow users to define filters (regions, asset classes, themes) and store them as named presets. Add a 'Views' dropdown to switch between presets (e.g., 'Crypto + Macro', 'US Equities only').

Flexible email/push digests based on user preferences.

Extend the alerts system to compile periodic digests (real-time, 2x/day, daily, weekly). Let users choose tickers, themes, and event types. Use existing feed components to render digest content.

Set up basic A/B testing to optimize engagement.

Integrate a simple feature-flag/experiment tool (e.g., GrowthBook, homemade). Start with A/B tests on hero headline copy, number of top-story cards, and card layouts. Track CTR, time-on-page, and scroll depth.

Improve accessibility and power-user navigation.

Audit ARIA labels and table semantics for markets and filings tables. Add keyboard shortcuts (e.g., 'g m' for markets, 'g f' for filings). Show a 'Shortcuts' overlay on first visit or from a help icon.

Inline explanations for key instruments and jargon.

Implement a hover/tooltip component for tickers and terms ('VIX', 'jobs report', 'FCC docket 24-275', etc). Tooltip shows definition, latest value, and a link to a relevant explainer or hub.

Follow broad themes like 'AI & Chips' or 'Geopolitics & Oil'.

Define a theme taxonomy and tag content accordingly. Let users 'follow' themes, which then drive feed filters and alerts. Expose theme pages with topic summaries and curated stories.

Dedicated panel for market halts and structural events.

Integrate feeds for trading halts, limit up/down events, and major exchange incidents. Show as a compact panel near 'Today's Markets' with links to impacted tickers.

Distraction-free reading mode for longform and explainers.

Add a 'Focus mode' toggle on article pages that switches to single-column, typography-focused layout. Include key bullets up top and optional glossary section. Persist preference per user.
