Roadmap

Our roadmap is where you can learn about what features we are planning to implement, what stage they are in, and when we expect to bring them to you.

Guide to the roadmap

Here is some information about our structure and terminology.

• General Features: In this section, we have listed all the features, that are relevant for the whole Entirety app, e. g. design style, user management, etc.

• App-Specific Features: In this section, we have sorted the features based on the relevant sub-apps. The planned features for devices processing, for example, will be placed under Devices App.

• Legend:

  • x = planned
  • o = ongoing
  • ✓ = implemented

Depending on the necessity, difficulty, and our internal capacity, the features are marked as short-term or long-term. For short-term features, we normally already have our hands on it. But we don't have a guarantee on the release date. However, you are always welcome to participate to contribute in the development process yourself. We kindly advise you to follow the contribution guidelines.
