Roadmap

This roadmap provides visibility to planned features. It is in continuous revision to reflect current best thinking.

While we cannot publish our entire roadmap, we do want to show you some level of transparency into where we want to go. So below are some features and functionality we are currently working on. We will update this page every few weeks to reflect a 1-3 month roadmap horizon.

We also make a lot of very minor improvements that are made frequently that do not warrant being listed here. So if you have suggested a small improvement and do not see your feature listed here it is likely that we will implemented it.
