Beenion is a project that I am builing "in my spare time". I'm using it primaraly for testing new ideas and technologies.

Detail overview of a project architecture

• CQRS
• Event Sourcing
• TypeScript
• JavaScript
• Express
• React

The goal of the project is to create a system that would help authors receive feedback early on and reach the audience for their work regardless of their popularity. An author can be a developer, musician, writer or pretty much anyone producing some creative work. In short, I’m trying to adapt an old idea of peer reviews and scientific journals to an online medium. Here is a short clip on how “Peer Review” system works for scientific journals.

Of course, the project I intent to build is not the same and it’s not limited to science articles. I first thought about this from a “JavaScript library publication perspective” but the idea evolved and also got simplified in some areas.

Here are the main points:

• Medium consist of publications and projects

• A project (a video, book, blog post etc.) is then submitted in the publication

• Publication is managed as a hierarchy of reviewers assigned in stages

• Reviewers and authors can earn points which helps in refining this hierarchy structure (something similar to stackoverflow ranking system)

• Most famous and acknowledged reviewers have the ultimate decision if a project will be featured in the publication

• Second stage of publication reviewers is defined by the first one, third stage by the second one and so on

• Each assigned reviewer sends his review, comments and his decision on whether he accepts or declines a project submission

• If a majority of project reviews (or similar criteria) in current stage are positive, project is promoted to the next stage

• If the project is declined, an author can apply received suggestions, modify his project and resubmit it again or choose another publication

• If enough projects are accepted, publication editors can publish an issue which is then sent as a newsletter to all subscribers.
