Roadmap

Goal

Design for today's messaging habits by connecting to various messaging sources and organizing the important conversations for the user. Our guiding principles discusses our approach in more detail.

Release cycle

  • focus on small deliverables in shorter timeframes.
  • milestone every 2-4 weeks after getting initial community feedback.

Priorities for first few milestones

As an experiment, we expect Raindrop to evolve quickly and organically. Rather than having a long semi-believable list of things that we'd ideally get to at some point, our roadmap consists of a short list of priorities for the near future:

  • iterate on design for users of IMAP & Twitter, including a good out-of-box experience.
  • implement default configuration that asks (but does not require!) each user to contribute anonymized usage databack to the Mozilla design community, and that respects the Mozilla Privacy Policy.
  • usage data contribution, modeled in large part on Test Pilot
  • a first web front-end for mobile devices
  • message-store APIs

There are many other possible capabilities that we've thought about adding, and may get to in a later phase. If you're interested in helping explore any of these areas sooner rather than later, we'd love to talk about it. Whip up a design or build an extension, or start a discussion in the appropriate part of the Raindrop community.
