Roadmap

[ben-ryder]

Headbase is in active development and not yet ready for use. This roadmap is currently focused on the technical development efforts, however over time should hopefully become more user facing.

---

• IN PROGRESS Refactor base application like file explorer, content type manager etc to also use plugin system
  • Iinitial work tested on desktop and mobile
  • ensure txt files can still be edited, seems to be regression
  • Next step is allowing plugins to be opened with data, for example so the file explorer could be opened with a filePath
  • Possible refactor file editor to just be another workspace plugin, to remove the special handling of this single case.
• Content Types
  • Store content types in /.headbase/config/content-types.json. One file allows for better performance.
  • Content type data includes:
    • id - added to markdown file frontmatter as $type to identify content type of files
    • name, description
    • create rules:
      • folder pattern
      • filename pattern
    • Templates - allow creating content with template content, for example a note with tags applied etc
      • Allow overwriting create rules
• File creation
  • Allow creating any file via dialog by typing file type
    • Add warning for files which don't have any editors, or editors that are only read-only
  • Allow creating markdown files using content types and templates
• Dynamic Fields
  • Functionality used by plugin settings, content types, and content type based editing
  • Define fields, use this to display fields, get output of data fields
• Content Type Based Editing
  • Use $type frontmatter property to load custom editing interface based on content type fields
• View Editing
  • Add ability to edit/preview views including adding sources, displays etc
• Plugin Management
  • Add ability to view and manage plugins including editing settings
• Other (TBC)
  • Displaying of files in views based on content types?
  • Inline editing of files in views (via popup/inline fields etc)?
  • Add vault settings, device settings
