Meridia Ideas
- Updated
- March 21st 2026
Capture ideas without executing them like a maniac. Every idea gets logged, evaluated, and prioritized before any work starts. The base dashboard below makes it easy to see what's worth doing and what should stay parked.
Dashboard
How This System Works
Each idea file has structured frontmatter (type: meridia-idea) with fields for function, feature, effort, impact, priority, and status. The Ideas.base queries these files and provides filtered views:
- All Ideas — full table sorted by priority
- By Function — grouped by business function (marketing, design, seo, engineering, etc.)
- By Feature — grouped by which Meridia feature it relates to
- High Impact — ideas with impact >= 7
- Quick Wins — low effort (≤3) + decent impact (≥5)
- Active — approved or in-progress ideas only
Functions
| Function | What it covers |
|---|---|
marketing | Growth, outreach, partnerships, community building |
seo | Search optimization, link building, content strategy for rankings |
design | UI/UX, maps, visual design, information architecture |
engineering | Technical implementation, infrastructure, data pipelines |
content | Editorial, guides, destination pages, fishing reports |
product | Feature design, user flows, core product decisions |
data | Data sourcing, data quality, integrations, APIs |
operations | Process, tooling, automation, internal workflows |
Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
captured | Logged, not yet evaluated |
evaluating | Actively thinking through feasibility |
approved | Green-lit for execution |
in-progress | Currently being worked on |
shipped | Done and live |
parked | Good idea, not now |
rejected | Evaluated and passed |
Rules
- Capture fast, evaluate later. Don't let the template slow you down — fill in the idea and purpose, come back for the rest.
- Effort and impact are 1-10 scales. Be honest. A 2-effort / 8-impact idea should jump the queue.
- Status gates execution. Nothing moves to
in-progresswithout beingapprovedfirst. - Park liberally. "Not now" is a valid answer. Parked ideas aren't dead, they're waiting.
