«What If?» — a free Telegram media channel featuring short, unconventional creative prompts. Each issue challenges readers to invent, write, draw, or photograph something under a surprising condition. The prompts are designed to take 5–15 minutes and are accessible to people without professional skills. All you need to participate is a phone, paper, or imagination.
Goal — to help an individual begin creating through a small, specific action. Media provides a starting point when you want to create something but struggle to choose a topic or begin the work.
Data Sources
Data sources for «What If?» include materials used to create assignments: original ideas and observations, books and articles on creative work, and submissions and projects from readers. Channel analytics help us understand which topics and formats appeal to our audience.
For external materials in the database, the title, author, and source link are saved. The neural network is used to process materials and create drafts, and its suggestions are reviewed by an editor.
Data schema separating human and machine processing
Data is stored in three related tables: Sources: identifier, title, link, author, brief idea.Publications: identifier, idea source, monthly theme, section, format, text, materials, completion time, expected outcome, visuals, status, and release date.Results: publication identifier, measurement date, views, reactions, shares, comments, and survey responses.
Publication Statuses: «Idea, ” „Draft, ” „In Review, ” „Approved, ” „Published.“ If the material requires revisions, it is returned to the draft stage. Publication is initiated only after author approval.
