+# Prisma Docs — Feature Gap Analysis & Improvement Opportunities
+
+> **Date:** February 19, 2026
+> **Scope:** `apps/docs/` (Fumadocs-based documentation site)
+> **Goal:** Identify high-value features that the best documentation websites have and that Prisma's docs site may be missing, ranked by impact and effort.
+
+---
+
+## What You Already Have (Strong Foundation)
+
+The Prisma docs site is already ahead of most competitors. Before looking at gaps, here's what's already in place:
+
+| Category | Feature | Details |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| **AI** | AI Chat | Kapa AI via `Cmd+I`, with conversation persistence, source citations, and feedback (upvote/downvote) |
+| **AI** | "Use Prompt" Buttons | Open in ChatGPT, Claude, T3 Chat, Copy Markdown |
+| **AI** | `llms.txt` + `llms-full.txt` | AI-optimized documentation exports |
+| **Search** | Vector Search | Mixedbread-powered via `Cmd+K` with PostHog query tracking |
+| **Code** | Code Blocks | Copy buttons, line highlighting, file names, tabbed examples |
+| **Code** | Package Manager Tabs | npm / pnpm / yarn / bun |
+| **Navigation** | Version Switcher | v6 / v7 toggle |
+| **Navigation** | Breadcrumbs, TOC, Sidebar | Scroll-spy on TOC, collapsible sidebar |
+| **Content** | Edit on GitHub | Links on every page |
+| **Content** | Page Last Updated | Derived from git history |
+| **Theming** | Dark / Light / System | Theme toggle |
+| **Analytics** | PostHog + Sentry | Page views, search tracking, error monitoring |
+| **SEO** | OG Images, Schema.org, RSS | Auto-generated OG images, structured data, feed |
+| **Ops** | 404 Tracking | Missing page detection |
+
+---
+
+## Features You're Missing (Ranked by Impact)
+
+### Tier 1 — High Impact, Reasonable Effort
+
+---
+
+#### 1. "Was This Helpful?" Page Feedback Widget
+
+**Who does it:** Stripe, Vercel, Cloudflare, Mintlify, Clerk
+
+**What it is:**
+A thumbs-up / thumbs-down widget at the bottom of every documentation page. On thumbs-down, an optional free-text field appears asking "What was missing or unclear?" Feedback is routed to Slack/Linear via a webhook.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Direct, per-page signal on content quality — far more actionable than page views alone.
+- Combined with PostHog analytics (time-on-page, scroll depth), creates a powerful content health system.
+- You already have upvote/downvote on AI chat responses — extending this pattern to pages is natural and consistent.
+- Stripe and Vercel both credit page-level feedback as one of their most valuable docs inputs.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- React component with two states: initial (thumbs up/down) and expanded (text input on thumbs-down).
+- API route that forwards to Slack webhook and/or writes to a database/PostHog custom event.
+- Include page path, timestamp, and optional free text in the payload.
+- Store vote in `localStorage` to prevent duplicate submissions and show "Thanks for your feedback" on return visits.
+
+**Effort:** Low
+**Priority:** Start here — quick win with outsized signal value.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Stripe Docs](https://stripe.com/docs) — bottom of every page
+- [Vercel Docs](https://vercel.com/docs) — "Was this helpful?" with emoji scale
+- [Cloudflare Docs](https://developers.cloudflare.com) — thumbs up/down + text
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Enable the API Playground / "Try It" Feature
+
+**Who does it:** Stripe, ReadMe, Mintlify, Scalar
+
+**What it is:**
+You already have `fumadocs-openapi@10.3.5` installed, but the playground feature is **disabled**. Enabling it would let developers fill in parameters and execute real API calls (e.g., against Prisma Accelerate or Pulse endpoints) directly from the documentation.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Interactive API exploration is consistently rated as the #1 most-valued feature in API docs surveys.
+- The difference between "read about it" and "try it now" is enormous for developer trust and adoption.
+- The infrastructure is already there — this is about configuration, not building from scratch.
+- Competitors like Scalar and ReadMe have made interactive API docs the baseline expectation.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- Enable the playground option in the fumadocs-openapi configuration.
+- Configure CORS and authentication for target endpoints (Accelerate, Pulse).
+- Consider a sandbox/demo environment for safe exploration.
+- Add rate limiting to prevent abuse.
+
+**Effort:** Low–Medium (infrastructure exists, needs enabling + endpoint configuration)
+**Priority:** Start here — high leverage from existing investment.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Scalar](https://scalar.com) — modern OpenAPI viewer with playground
+- [Stripe API Reference](https://stripe.com/docs/api) — right-side request builder
+- [ReadMe](https://readme.com) — "Try It" panels on every endpoint
+

+
+#### 3. Related Content / "Next Steps" Suggestions
+
+**Who does it:** Stripe, Vercel, Cloudflare
+
+**What it is:**
+Contextual links at the bottom of each page suggesting semantically related guides, API references, or deeper dives. Not just prev/next linear navigation, but "You might also be interested in..." recommendations that cross product boundaries.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Reduces bounce rate by guiding users to the next relevant piece of content.
+- Helps users discover content they didn't know existed — especially valuable for Prisma's multi-product surface (ORM, Accelerate, Pulse, Optimize).
+- Turns the docs from a reference lookup into a connected learning experience.
+- Stripe reports that related content suggestions significantly increase pages-per-session.
+
+**Implementation approach (two options):**
+
+*Option A — Manual (frontmatter-based):*
+- Add a `relatedContent` field to page frontmatter with slugs/paths.
+- Authors curate connections when writing/updating pages.
+- Simple, high-quality, but doesn't scale automatically.
+
+*Option B — Automated (embedding similarity):*
+- Use the existing Mixedbread embeddings from search to find semantically similar pages.
+- Pre-compute at build time and store as a JSON mapping.
+- Requires no manual curation, scales automatically, but may surface less-relevant results.
+
+*Recommended:* Start with Option A for key pages, add Option B as a fallback for pages without manual curation.
+
+**Effort:** Medium
+**Priority:** Next phase.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Stripe Docs](https://stripe.com/docs) — "Related" section at page bottom
+- [Vercel Docs](https://vercel.com/docs) — "Related" cards
+- [Cloudflare Docs](https://developers.cloudflare.com) — "See also" sections
+
+---
+
+#### 4. Search Analytics: Failed / No-Result Searches
+
+**Who does it:** Mintlify, ReadMe, GitBook
+
+**What it is:**
+You already track search queries via PostHog, but specifically tracking searches that return **zero results** or where users **don't click any result** provides the highest-signal data for content gaps.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Failed searches are the single most actionable indicator of missing content.
+- "No result" queries directly tell you what users expect to find but can't.
+- "No click" queries tell you that results exist but don't match user intent (title/description mismatch).
+- This is one of the cheapest, most valuable analytics features any docs team can add.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- In the existing search component (`search.tsx`), fire a PostHog event when:
+  - A search returns 0 results: `docs_search_no_results` with the query string.
+  - A user closes search without clicking a result: `docs_search_no_click` with the query and result count.
+- Create a PostHog dashboard grouping these by frequency.
+- Optionally set up a weekly Slack digest of top failed queries.
+
+**Effort:** Low
+**Priority:** Start here — pure analytics enhancement, no UI changes needed.
+
+---
+
+#### 5. Global Language Switcher (Beyond Package Managers)
+
+**Who does it:** Stripe (8+ languages), Supabase, Clerk
+
+**What it is:**
+You have npm/pnpm/yarn/bun tabs for installation commands. But for Prisma Client code examples, a persistent **TypeScript / JavaScript** toggle (and potentially broader language support) that applies globally across all code examples on every page and is remembered across sessions.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Prisma users work in different environments — some use TypeScript, some plain JavaScript, and increasingly Python and Go via Prisma Client extensions.
+- A global toggle avoids users clicking language tabs on every single page.
+- Stripe's per-language docs experience is consistently cited as a gold standard — the key insight is persistence (your language choice follows you everywhere).
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- Store language preference in a cookie or `localStorage`.
+- Create a global toggle in the header or sidebar (similar to the version switcher).
+- Tag code blocks in MDX with a `language` metadata attribute.
+- On render, show only the code block matching the user's preference.
+- Fall back gracefully when a specific language variant isn't available for a page.
+
+**Effort:** Medium (needs state persistence + consistent tagging across all code examples)
+**Priority:** Next phase.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Stripe Docs](https://stripe.com/docs) — language selector in sidebar, persists across pages
+- [Supabase Docs](https://supabase.com/docs) — JS/Python/Dart toggle
+- [Clerk Docs](https://clerk.com/docs) — framework-specific examples
+
+---
+
+### Tier 2 — High Impact, Higher Effort
+
+---
+
+#### 6. Interactive Quickstart / Onboarding Flows
+
+**Who does it:** Stripe, Clerk, Vercel
+
+**What it is:**
+Step-by-step getting-started guides with:
+- Framework/stack selection upfront (Next.js, Express, Remix, Fastify, etc.)
+- Progress indicators showing completion
+- Checkboxes for completed steps
+- Code examples that adapt dynamically to the selected stack
+- A "copy your connection string" flow integrated with the platform
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- First-time experience is the single most critical moment in the developer journey.
+- Prisma serves many frameworks — letting users pick their stack once and seeing all content adapt is a huge DX improvement.
+- Reduces the "where do I start?" overwhelm that large docs sites often create.
+- Clerk's framework-specific quickstarts are frequently praised as best-in-class for this pattern.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- Custom MDX component or page template for quickstart flows.
+- Framework selector stored in cookie/localStorage (pairs with the global language switcher).
+- Content variants per framework in frontmatter or separate MDX files.
+- Progress state stored in localStorage for returning users.
+
+**Effort:** High
+**Priority:** Ambitious phase.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Clerk Docs](https://clerk.com/docs) — framework quickstarts
+- [Stripe Docs](https://stripe.com/docs) — guided onboarding
+- [Vercel Docs](https://vercel.com/docs) — framework-aware getting started
+
+---
+
+#### 7. Changelog Page
+
+**Who does it:** Linear (visual benchmark), Stripe, Vercel, Clerk
+
+**What it is:**
+A dedicated, beautifully designed changelog page showing releases, new features, deprecations, and breaking changes. With filtering by:
+- Product (ORM, Accelerate, Pulse, Optimize)
+- Content type (feature, fix, breaking change, deprecation)
+- Date range
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Keeps users informed about what's new without requiring them to follow GitHub releases.
+- Builds trust and transparency about the pace of development.
+- Doubles as marketing content — shareable, linkable updates.
+- Linear's changelog is the gold standard for visual quality and is frequently cited as inspiration.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- New page/section in the docs with a custom layout.
+- Content could be:
+  - Manually authored MDX entries (highest quality).
+  - Pulled from GitHub releases via API (automated but less polished).
+  - A hybrid: auto-pull releases with manual editorial pass.
+- RSS feed for the changelog specifically.
+- Filter UI with product and type toggles.
+
+**Effort:** Medium
+**Priority:** Next phase.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Linear Changelog](https://linear.app/changelog) — visual storytelling, the gold standard
+- [Clerk Changelog](https://clerk.com/changelog) — clean, filterable
+- [Vercel Changelog](https://vercel.com/changelog) — product-categorized
+

+
+#### 8. Personalized API Keys / Connection Strings in Examples
+
+**Who does it:** Stripe, ReadMe, Supabase, Clerk
+
+**What it is:**
+When a logged-in user views the docs, their actual Prisma Accelerate API key or database connection string is auto-populated in code examples. Eliminates the copy-paste-replace-placeholder workflow entirely.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- This is the #1 friction reducer in Stripe's docs and is frequently cited as the feature that makes their docs best-in-class.
+- For Prisma, this would mean showing actual `DATABASE_URL` values, Accelerate API keys, or project IDs in getting-started guides.
+- Eliminates an entire class of "it doesn't work" support requests caused by users forgetting to replace placeholder values.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- Requires authentication integration with Prisma's platform/dashboard.
+- Code blocks need a placeholder syntax (e.g., `{{API_KEY}}`) that gets replaced client-side when the user is authenticated.
+- Unauthenticated users see the placeholder with a "Log in to see your API key" prompt.
+- Security consideration: keys should only be shown, never logged or cached.
+
+**Effort:** High (requires cross-team coordination with platform/auth)
+**Priority:** Ambitious phase.
+
+**Reference sites:**
+- [Stripe Docs](https://stripe.com/docs) — the original and best implementation
+- [Supabase Docs](https://supabase.com/docs) — project-specific keys in examples
+- [ReadMe](https://readme.com) — personalized API keys as a core feature
+
+---
+
+### Tier 3 — Differentiators & Nice-to-Haves
+
+---
+
+#### 9. Live Code Playground / Sandbox
+
+**Who does it:** Tailwind CSS, Docusaurus (react-live)
+
+**What it is:**
+Embedded code editors (via Sandpack, StackBlitz, or WebContainers) where users can write Prisma schema, see generated types, and run queries against a demo database — all in the browser.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- "Try before you install" is a powerful acquisition tool for developer tools.
+- A Prisma Playground embedded in the docs would be a strong differentiator — very few ORMs offer this.
+- Could be scoped initially to just schema editing + type preview (no database needed).
+
+**Effort:** Very High (needs backend infrastructure for query execution, or scoped to client-side-only schema features)
+**Priority:** Ambitious phase — consider a standalone project.
+
+---
+
+#### 10. Learning Paths with Progress Tracking
+
+**Who does it:** Very few (emerging pattern)
+
+**What it is:**
+Curated sequences like "Prisma Beginner Path" → "Data Modeling" → "Querying" → "Migrations" → "Deployment." Track progress for authenticated users with completion indicators.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Differentiator — almost no one does this well yet in the developer tools space.
+- Would make Prisma docs feel like a structured course rather than a reference manual.
+- Particularly valuable for Prisma's target audience, which includes developers new to ORMs.
+
+**Effort:** High (needs auth + progress persistence)
+**Priority:** Ambitious phase.
+
+---
+
+#### 11. Troubleshooting Decision Trees
+
+**Who does it:** Custom implementations only
+
+**What it is:**
+Interactive "My query is slow → Are you using indexes? → Yes/No → ..." flows for common Prisma issues. Covers scenarios like:
+- Connection pooling problems
+- Migration failures
+- Query performance issues
+- Type generation errors
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Common Prisma support questions could be self-served through guided troubleshooting rather than searching through docs or asking in Discord.
+- Reduces support burden and improves user satisfaction.
+
+**Effort:** Medium (custom MDX component + content authoring per decision tree)
+**Priority:** Ambitious phase.
+
+---
+
+#### 12. Status Page Integration
+
+**Who does it:** Various (via BetterStack, Instatus, etc.)
+
+**What it is:**
+Embed a live status indicator for Prisma Accelerate / Pulse / Optimize in the docs header or a dedicated banner. Developers can quickly see if an issue is on their end or Prisma's.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Reduces support burden — users check status before filing tickets.
+- Builds trust through transparency.
+- Simple visual cue: green dot = all systems operational.
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+- Small banner component or header indicator.
+- Pulls status from Prisma's status page API (if one exists) or a BetterStack/Instatus endpoint.
+- Shows a summary status with a link to the full status page.
+- Can include an optional "Subscribe to updates" link.
+
+**Effort:** Low
+**Priority:** Start here — quick win.
+
+---
+
+#### 13. Multi-Modal Content (Video, Animations)
+
+**Who does it:** Linear (changelog), Vercel
+
+**What it is:**
+Embedded short videos, animated diagrams (e.g., how connection pooling works, how Prisma Accelerate routes queries), and Rive/Lottie animations for complex concepts.
+
+**Why it matters:**
+- Some concepts (data flow, query execution, connection pooling architecture) are much clearer with animation than static text or diagrams.
+- Video walkthroughs for complex setup procedures reduce friction.
+- Animated changelogs (like Linear's) create shareable, engaging content.
+
+**Effort:** Medium per piece (content creation is the bottleneck, not engineering)
+**Priority:** Ongoing — add as content is created.

+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+1. **You're already ahead of most.** The AI chat, vector search, "Use Prompt" buttons, and `llms.txt` put Prisma's docs in the top tier for AI-readiness.
+
+2. **The biggest gaps are in feedback loops.** Page-level feedback and failed search analytics are cheap to add and provide outsized value for content improvement.
+
+3. **The API Playground is low-hanging fruit.** The dependency is already installed — enabling it could be the highest-ROI single change.
+
+4. **Personalization is the next frontier.** Stripe's personalized API keys and framework-aware content are what separate "great docs" from "the best docs." This requires platform integration but is worth the investment.
+
+5. **Don't underestimate the changelog.** A well-designed changelog (Linear-quality) doubles as marketing, builds trust, and keeps users engaged with the product's evolution.
