Roadmap
What is being worked on, what is decided, and what is still an open question. Updated 2026-09-02.
In progress
2Being worked on right now.
macOS build
The code compiles on macOS. Packaging, signing and notarisation remain.
Automatic release pipeline
Build, package, sign and publish from a tag, so releases stop being manual.
Next
4Decided, not started.
Code signing certificate
Removes the warning Windows shows on first launch.
NWB format support
Required to open DANDI Archive datasets.
Sandboxed extension execution
Extensions currently run with full user permissions. A restricted execution context would change that.
Zenodo DOI for each release
So a paper can cite a specific archived version rather than a URL.
Considering
4Wanted, not decided. Argue for or against these.
Micromed TRC reader
Requested by clinical users. Needs a test file we are allowed to keep.
Batch mode without the interface
Run a pipeline over many subjects from the command line, for cluster use.
Source localisation cards
Large piece of work. Only worth it if enough people would use it.
Linux packaged build
Compiles today, but nobody has asked loudly enough to justify packaging and testing it.
Shipped
4In a released build.
Extension system
Panels contributed by installed extensions, with their own Python scripts.
Marketplace with review
Publishing, moderation queue, static analysis of uploaded packages.
Update checking
The application checks the release feed and offers the update.
Validation harness
Every card compared against an independent implementation on real recordings.
Proposing something
Anything in Considering is genuinely undecided, and an argument changes it. What helps:
- The problem, not the feature. "I cannot open Micromed files from our clinical system" is actionable. "Add Micromed support" is the same request with the useful part removed.
- What you do today instead. If there is a workaround, that tells us how much the gap actually costs.
- How many people it affects. One lab with a real need beats a hundred people who would find it neat.
- What you can contribute. A test file, a reference implementation, or the willingness to test a build moves things faster than anything else.
What is deliberately not on this list
Dates. This is a small project, and a date on a roadmap is a promise made with information nobody has. Items move when something is done, and the changelog records when it happened.
