Roadmap: Things We'll 'Definitely' Build
🗺️ Our Feature Map Is Basically a Treasure Map. We Don't Know Where X Is Either.
"When is [feature] coming?"
— When it's ready. Which is when we finish building it. Which is when we have time. Which is... look, it's complicated.
The Honest Roadmap
Here's the thing about roadmaps: they're lies. Beautiful, aspirational lies.
Every app shows you a fancy roadmap with features planned for "Q3" and "H2" and whatever corporate timeline nonsense. Then those features slip. And slip again. And eventually ship two years late with half the functionality.
We're not going to do that to you.
Instead, here's what we're thinking about building. No dates. No promises. Just honest intentions and the caveat that everything might change.
What's Actually Coming (Probably)
🔧 Camera Status Tracking
Right now, cameras are either active or... also active. There's no way to mark something as:
For Sale — "Taking offers, serious inquiries only"
In Repair — "At the CLA guy for 3 months now, no updates"
Broken — "Shutter is stuck, keeping it for parts"
Sold — "Goodbye old friend"
This is coming. We're going to add status options so you can track your cameras' life stages. RIP that Minolta you loved.
📷 Lens Collection
We know.
You don't just collect cameras. You collect lenses. Probably more lenses than cameras. Probably lenses that don't even fit anything you own. "But it was a good deal..."
Lens tracking is on the list:
Add lenses with specs (focal length, aperture, mount)
Associate with compatible cameras
Track which lens is on which camera
This is a whole feature. It's not small. But it's coming. Someday.
🖼️ Better Photo Linking
Right now, you can add a link to your scanned photos on a film roll. One link field. Basic.
The dream:
Upload images directly
Gallery view per roll
Link individual frames to notes
EXIF-style metadata for analog (we'll invent something)
This is ambitious. It might ship in pieces. But it's the vision.
(only if I start earning 500K a year with the project. I dont know why I write WE when I’m a solo dev)
📊 Stats & Analytics
Currently: you can see how many cameras you have, films loaded, rolls shot.
Future:
Rolls per month/year graphs
Most-used cameras ranking
Favorite film stocks by usage
Shooting patterns over time
Data nerds, we see you. We are you.
The 'Coming Soon' Badges
You might see "Coming Soon" badges on features in the app. These are real. They're not marketing. They're features we've designed but haven't built yet.
When you see them, it means:
We know this should exist
We have a plan
We just haven't done it yet
Please don't ask when
The Mobile App Question
"Is there a mobile app?"
Not yet.
"Will there be a mobile app?"
Maybe. Probably. Eventually.
Here's the reality: building a mobile app is a whole separate project. Different codebase, different store approvals, different maintenance. It's not just "make the website smaller."
The web app works on mobile. It's responsive. You can use it on your phone. Is it as good as a native app? No. But it's functional.
A native mobile app is on the "would be nice" list. Not the "actively building" list. Yet.
The Vent System: How Feedback Actually Works
See that "VENT" button in the sidebar? That's not decoration.
When you click it, you can:
Choose a feedback type:
Feature Request — "Add this thing"
Bug Report — "This thing is broken"
Broken — "Everything is on fire"
Rant — "I just need to complain"
Write your message
Submit it directly to us
Every single submission goes into a database. We read them. We respond to some. We implement others.
Your feedback shapes the roadmap. Not in a "we value your input" corporate way. In a "you said this should exist and now we're building it" way.
Priority for Premium Users
Premium subscribers' feedback gets weighted higher. Not because free users don't matter — they do. But because:
Premium users are invested (literally)
They use the advanced features
Their needs often reveal edge cases
Supporting the app should mean something
If you're premium and you vent, we're listening extra hard.
The Honest Timeline
"When will [feature] ship?"
When it's ready.
"But approximately—"
When. It's. Ready.
We're a small team. Sometimes we ship fast. Sometimes we disappear for weeks because life happens. Sometimes a "small" feature turns into a three-week rabbit hole.
We don't do ETAs. We do updates when things ship.
How to Stay Updated
This blog — We'll post when major features ship
The app version — Check the sidebar for version numbers
The changelog — Eventually we'll have one. Eventually.
Follow along. Or don't. We'll be here, building stuff.
What We Need From You
Vent.
Seriously. Use the feedback system. Tell us:
What's broken
What's missing
What would make you actually use this daily
What you hate
We can't fix what we don't know about. We can't build what you don't ask for.
The app is beta. That means you're part of the process. Your complaints become features. Your frustration becomes priorities.
So yeah. Vent. 🎞️
