Talkyard Roadmap 2021
Here's what seems to be next for Talkyard. in no specific order (except for the headings "Sooner", "Later" etc).
Feedback is welcome; you can add comments below.
Old roadmap: Talkyard Roadmap 2020.
Sooner:
-
Blog comments SSO (Single Sign-On) — done, now code reviewing (end of June 2021) ... oops not yet done (Nov 2021).
-
Blog comments multiple iframes at the same time, optionally— done
(Oops I did this in the wrong order — if I had know this'd take that long, I'd postponed it. But now almost done.) -
Make it possible to translate emails.— done, Mars 2021, Talkyard version 0.2021.08. -
Re-implement tags. Tags + tag values can work as:
- Traditional content tags.
- StackOverflow style reputation points, in as many dimensions as you want — update via external API.
- User badges.
-
Sub categories. (Trying out currently, here at Ty .io)— done, Mars 2021, v0.2021.09. -
Make Azure OIDC B2C work — currently only B2B works, see: Azure AD B2C, no UserInfo URL
Later:
-
Improvements for Schools and Teachers: Improvements for Teachers and Students.
Includes: invite links with pre-defined group membership, user badges, anonymous questions, etcetera. -
Outgoing web hooks.
-
Topic priorities. Namely: Critical-Urgent, Important-Sooner, Important-Later, Drawer, Attic, Avoid.
Inspired by Kubernetes (except for prios Drawer, Attic, Avoid). In the "distant future", you'll be able to rename the prio levels. -
Improve the UX, fix bugs / annoyances: Potential UX improvements
-
Automatic HTTPS for self hosted installations. (Trying this out since 2021-02-24, here at Ty .io)
(www talkyard cert serial nr: 04:1C:17:EE:50:3F:5A:20:7E:0F:2E:78:C3:6C:80:E6:40:AD)
— oops, June 2021: there's a bug: Self hosted bug: Auto cert renewal Lua problem (Certbot is fine).
Drawer:
-
Nice integration via outgoing webhooks with Clickup?
-
Basic theming. User friendly way to edit colors and make one's Talkyard site look like a part of one's website. Slightly started.
-
Postpone topics. Topic reminders.
-
Embed forum and categories in an
<iframe>
. (Currently only blog comments can be embedded.)
Attic:
-
New topic type: Event. So you can add events to your community, with location, date-time. Maybe RSVP.
-
Rich text WYSIWYG editor. Non-tech people think Markdown+preview is confusing. Use ProseMirror — it can switch between Markdown and rich-text-WYSIWYG.
-
Mobile app notifications and desktop notifications
-
Offline-first support, e.g. reading and replying, although one's laptop is offline
