Everything you need to launch a working Q&A Community Platform — prioritized by impact, sequenced by complexity. Built for SaaS companies, developer tool makers, and community builders needing a knowledge Q&A layer who want to ship fast and own everything.
Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.
Launch blockers — build these first
Tag taxonomy, full-text question search, and related question suggestions
Multiple answers per question; upvote/downvote; accepted answer mark by question author
Points awarded for answers, accepted answers, and upvotes — builds expert status
Each question gets a permanent URL with Q&A structured data for Google rich snippets
High value — ship in week 2
JavaScript widget to embed "related questions" inside your product or docs site
Post-launch polish and extras
This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:
Solves the core problem SaaS companies, developer tool makers, and community builders needing a knowledge Q&A layer face every day
Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome
Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay
Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2
Can be shipped in 1 week with LaraCopilot
"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."
For a Q&A Community Platform, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
Use these ready-made prompts to build each must-have feature. Paste them directly into LaraCopilot and get production-ready code.
