For a long time we've had people complaining that we're floating without a plan, adding features on a whim with no real end goal. And to be honest that's not 100% untrue. Sometimes we get distracted and work on things for fun that don't ever push the development towards the finish line. But we've always had these long term goals, and some vague outline of a plan to get there.
So we accept the critisism, we hear that you guys want to know what we're thinking about, what's on our radar, what we want to get done. So here's
a roadmap.
Also, just to be clear, so we're not handing you a loaded gun to hold to our heads in 6 months time: the roadmap is a rough guide of what we want to do. It's not a promise, it's not a contract, it wasn't bought down from a mountain carved in stone. Plans change and adapt over time, so expect the roadmap to.
Optimization
There isn't going to be a time where we say to each other "okay, that's performance sorted, we don't have to worry about that again". Performance and optimization isn't on the roadmap, because that's a common sense, ongoing effort.
