Description

Hi! I'm building skene-growth, a PLG analysis tool, and ran it on fastify-cli to see what insights it could surface.

I noticed you're using Fastify + JavaScript. The tool identified some interesting patterns in the codebase:

🎯 Growth Opportunities (5 detected)

Project Generator (in generate.js)
Facilitates user onboarding by providing scaffolding for new Fastify applications

  • Add template marketplace with community-contributed starters
  • Implement progress tracking for project setup completion
  • Add social sharing of generated project configurations

Plugin Ecosystem (in plugin)
Drives ecosystem growth through extensibility and community contributions

  • Add plugin marketplace with discovery features
  • Implement plugin usage analytics and popularity metrics
  • Add plugin recommendation engine based on project patterns

CLI Development Server (in start.js)
Enables rapid development and onboarding by providing instant server startup and hot-reload capabilities

  • Add telemetry collection to understand usage patterns and popular features
  • Implement project templates gallery with community contributions
  • Add interactive setup wizard for new projects

🔍 Potential Gaps (7 identified)

User Onboarding Flow (high priority)
Missing interactive tutorials and guided first-time user experience to reduce time-to-value for new CLI users

Usage Analytics (high priority)
No telemetry or analytics to understand CLI usage patterns, popular features, or user journey optimization opportunities

Community Ecosystem (medium priority)
Lacks template marketplace, plugin discovery, and community-driven content sharing mechanisms


About the analysis: This was generated by skene-growth, an open-source tool I'm building that analyzes codebases for PLG opportunities by looking at:

  • Existing features with growth potential
  • Architecture patterns that enable viral loops
  • Missing features that could accelerate adoption

These are just automated insights—thought they might spark some interesting ideas! No action needed.
