Content Managed System domain model implementation in Dart and Flutter for use as first brick in development of multiplatform, complex, highly web integrated, business rich MVPs.

Content

Content is omnipresent, recursive and self defined. This does not make it easier to model it. Such artifact is hard to spot and catch its characteristic properties, as humans do with air, tend to take things for granted. However, taking content for granted results in epidemic of bad UI, UX of trivial systems which are complicating analog-digital transition of intrinsic complex human processes.

Main motivation in developing this library is to answer those challenges by modeling Content primarily in function of User and Context in which User operates on Content. Strategy is to elevate abstraction level above current web landscape, take some structured knowledge DB and map Semantic roles of Content across User Contexts and from there define particular implementations of Content-User-Context interactions ready to be specialized for particular instance of Context.

As those interactions are graphs we could take advantage of graph theory for further analysis and optimization, also rendering and intuitive interactive presentation.

Principles

Before we continue we shall define context in which we are going to analyze domain model of Content by defining basic principles:

• Human biology: the human biology influences the sensory apparatus and therefore the types of content that can be consumed. This should be taken into account when defining the content types in the system.

• Human psychology: The cognitive abilities and psychology of humans should also be considered when designing the content management system. For example, the way information is presented and the layout of the user interface should be designed in a way that is easy for users to understand and navigate.

• Digital product limitations: The limitations of a digital product should also be considered when designing the content management system. For example, the types of media that can be handled by the system and the way that the content is stored and retrieved.

Categorization

Following basic principles, we can make initial categorization of Content-Sensory-Context landscape (There will be a lot of silly examples necessary to demonstrate idea):

Visual	Auditory	Olfactory	Gustatory	Tactile
TV	Speakers	Scent diffusers	Blender	Video game controller
Monitor	Headphones	Scented candles	Oven	Keyboard
Projector	Earbuds	Aromatherapy diffusers	Microwave	Mouse
Watch	Smart speaker	Scented room sprays	Slow cooker	Touchscreen
Refrigerator LCD panel	Car Audio System	Scented sachets	Instant Pot	Haptic feedback devices
Smartphone	Home Theater System	Air fresheners	Electric grill	Touch screen monitors
Tablet	Hearing aids		Food processors	Smartwatch
E-Book-Reader	Music players		Juicers	Smart home devices
Head-mounted display	Portable radios		Electric kettles	Remote controls
Virtual reality headset	Soundbars		Coffee makers	Game Pad
Augmented reality headset	Bluetooth speakers		Toasters
Digital photo frame
Digital signage
Smart glasses

Method

• Opinionated abstractions:
  • Language
  • Process
    • Event storming
      • Artifacts
        • Documentation
          • Live
          • Collaborative
          • Gathering point like evening fire in old times
        • Software design - transpilable inside ECMAScript
          • Domain driven design
            • Domain
              • Application
                • Service
              • Model
                • Aggregate root
                  • Entity children
                  • Commands
                  • Policies
                  • Events
                  • Roles
                    • Permissions
              • Infrastructure
                • Repository
                  • Destructive
                  • None destructive
                    • Event sourced
            • Clients - other Bounded contexts depending on the implementation
            • Dependencies - other Bounded contexts implementation depends on

By using such opinionated processes and somewhat structuring expected output artifacts enables us to generate considerable amount of initial code on such way that we promote best practices across various verticals like:

• requirements gathering
• architecture
• software design
• testing
• implementation
• CI/CD
