So what is it?

This repository is a curated full-stack learning roadmap in Chinese, published in 2023 under the title Fangtang Full-Stack Roadmap. The stated goal is to help developers go from being a specialist working inside a larger organization to running an independent one-person business by filling in the skills they are missing. The roadmap covers business model thinking, design, development, operations, and growth, and tries to select only the smallest set of topics that together form a complete enough skill picture to ship and sell a real product. The core deliverable is a visual roadmap diagram you can download as a high-resolution PDF or open and edit in the free draw.io tool. The diagram strips each skill area down to the minimum recommended choices. For example, it picks React over Vue for front-end work because React has a mature cross-platform mobile option (React Native) while Vue does not, but the authors note that you are welcome to build your own version with different choices. Alongside the diagram, the repository previously offered a daily learning material delivery service. The authors broke the roadmap down into individual knowledge points and curated relevant articles, videos, or tutorials for each one, delivering them one per day through a subscription channel. At the time the README was written, 118 days of material had been organized. Whether to continue building out the service was described as dependent on subscriber numbers. The roadmap content is released under the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, which allows sharing and adapting as long as the original author is credited and the use is non-commercial. The README is written entirely in Chinese, reflecting the intended audience.
