Roadmap

What's on the roadmap

The tools we're planning and considering for the toolbox. This page is generated from the live build catalogue, so it's always current: a tool appears here the moment it's queued and moves into the shipped count the moment it ships. No dates, just direction and rough priority.

Built for more than a browser tab

Two directions sit behind this toolbox, both intentions rather than promises, and neither with a date.

API access

The tools already run behind a small, versioned internal API. One day, the same deterministic engines could answer a request, not just fill a browser tab.

Open engine

Each tool is a self-contained, documented module, built so it could be released to self-host: dropped straight into your own build and CI pipelines, running inside your own environment with nothing leaving it.

Neither is committed. What makes them possible is that the tooling has been built from the ground up expecting them: deterministic cores, no hidden state, a clean API surface, machine-readable docs. So if the time comes, opening these up is a step, not a rewrite.

Growth here has a measured ceiling, not a vague one. The hosting platform caps how many static files one Worker may carry, and this site's own arithmetic — roughly a hundred files per tool-and-article pack, across sixteen languages — is checked against that cap on every build. Today there is room for hundreds more tools, and the expansion path beyond a single Worker is already designed, so the roadmap below is constrained by judgment, not by hosting.

Have an idea?

Every tool here started the same way: someone needed a small, specific thing and could not find it at the worst possible moment, the digital cousin of being one console cable short at 2am with the maintenance window closing. If the one you are reaching for is not here yet, propose it. Worth a scroll through the list first, though, in case that exact adapter is already on my bench half-built.
