## About Quodat

### Our Mission

Quodat exists to solve a simple problem: you shouldn't miss releases that matter to you, and creators shouldn't struggle to reach their audience.

**For Fans**: Never miss a release. Add any manga, game, movie, or concert to your personal calendar, follow only the categories and creators you care about, and get notified before releases drop. No more checking dozens of websites or missing pre-orders.

**For Publishers & Creators**: Reach engaged fans directly. Publish your releases on Quodat where fans can add them to calendars, follow your account, and access all purchase links in one place. Track real-time engagement (likes, hypes, comments) to understand what resonates with your audience.

### What Makes Quodat Different

**Calendar Integration First**: Unlike other release trackers, Quodat is built around your personal calendar. One-click "Add to Calendar" on every release with automatic notifications and Google Calendar sync. Fans who add your release to their calendar are highly interested buyers.

**Following System**: Follow specific categories (only manga, only concerts) or follow specific publishers/creators (only Glénat releases, only Taylor Swift events). Your feed shows only what matters to you with personalized notifications.

**Open Publishing Platform**: Anyone can publish—publishers, game studios, independent creators, even fans sharing event info. Visit /studio/upload to create releases. Publishers get access to engagement metrics, trend analysis, and a direct channel to interested fans.

**Multi-Platform Purchase Aggregation**: We don't just track "when"—we track WHERE you can buy it. One release page aggregates 10+ purchase links across Amazon, FNAC, Cultura, Steam, PlayStation Store, Netflix, and more. Perfect for publishers who want to list all their distribution channels in one professional page.

**Public Roadmap**: Check /features to see what's coming next, vote on features you want, and watch Quodat evolve based on community feedback.

**Structured Data First**: Every release page includes comprehensive Schema.org JSON-LD with 6-7 interconnected entities, making it easy for AI engines to understand and cite our data accurately.
