| 1 | +# 🧭 Code of Product |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document outlines the core principles and values that guide the development of the **F1F Discord Bot**. It serves as a compass for making product decisions, prioritizing features, and staying aligned with our long-term goals. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +--- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## 🎯 1. Purpose-Driven Development |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +We build features that **serve a clear purpose** and **solve real needs** within our community. Every command, every update should bring value to users and enhance the overall Discord experience. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +> If it doesn’t make the user experience better — we don’t build it. |
| 12 | +
|
| 13 | +--- |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## 👥 2. Built for the Community, with the Community |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +The bot is created **by fans, for fans**. We believe in co-building with the community through feedback, open discussions, and transparent roadmaps. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +- User feedback guides our priorities. |
| 20 | +- Every voice matters, especially newcomers. |
| 21 | +- Simplicity beats complexity, always. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +--- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## 🛡️ 3. Security First |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Security is not a feature, it’s a foundation. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- We minimize permissions required by the bot. |
| 30 | +- We follow best practices for API usage and data handling. |
| 31 | +- All contributions must respect our [Security Policy](SECURITY.md). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +--- |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## ⚙️ 4. Maintainability over Quick Fixes |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Fast is good, but **clean and maintainable** is better. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- Code should be easy to read, test, and extend. |
| 40 | +- We write documentation for features and architecture. |
| 41 | +- Refactoring is encouraged when it improves stability. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +--- |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## 📈 5. Iteration, Not Perfection |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +We launch features iteratively. Early versions may be simple, but they allow us to gather feedback and improve over time. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) are welcome. |
| 50 | +- Mistakes are learning opportunities — we fix and move forward. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +--- |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## 🧪 6. Transparency in Experiments |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +We test new ideas **openly and honestly**, and we’re not afraid to sunset features that don’t work. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- Experiments are labeled as such. |
| 59 | +- All major changes are communicated to users. |
| 60 | +- Data and feedback drive decisions, not assumptions. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +--- |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## 🧬 7. The Bot Reflects the Brand |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +The F1F Bot should reflect the **tone, values, and identity** of Formula 1 France: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +- Passionate |
| 69 | +- Respectful |
| 70 | +- Welcoming |
| 71 | +- Playful (but never annoying) |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +--- |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## 💬 8. Communication is Key |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +Whether it’s with contributors or users, **clear and consistent communication** is essential. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +- We document what's been done and what’s coming. |
| 80 | +- We keep users informed via Discord announcements, GitHub discussions, and changelogs. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +--- |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +## 🏁 9. We Play the Long Game |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +This project is a marathon, not a sprint. We invest in: |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +- Quality infrastructure |
| 89 | +- Developer tooling |
| 90 | +- Scalable design decisions |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +We aim to keep the bot running for the seasons to come. 🏎️ |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +--- |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +**Built with love and community spirit by the F1F team.** |
| 97 | +*All contributors are welcome on the grid.* 🏁 |
