Roadmap

A live view. Updated as tools ship and priorities shift.

Now

What we're actively building or recently shipped.

PDF Editor — Tier-1 epic app completed
27 / 34 shipped · 79%
  • v1.3 — font picker beyond Helvetica / Times / Courier (current toolbar exposes only those three; should expose every embedded NotoSans variant + family detection from the doc)
  • v1.3 — paragraph reflow that actually works on real-world PDFs (the v1.2 wrap + push-down logic ships but doesn't trigger correctly when a paragraph's line count changes from a long edit — line detection or trigger heuristic needs a rebuild against a real-PDF corpus)
  • v1.3 — digital signature (WebCrypto)
  • v1.3 — faithful Word (.docx) export
  • v1.3 — measure tool
  • v1.3 — mid-word break on overflow wrap
  • v1.3 — cross-page overflow (push content to new page instead of clipping)

Borderline tool polish — moat-strengthening for the keepers planned
0 / 9 shipped · 0%
  • audio-speed-changer — verify pitch-preserving DSP works end-to-end on long files; add export presets (podcast 1.5x / 1.7x / 2x)
  • audio-pitch-changer — confirm pitch shift is independent of tempo; add musical-interval shortcuts (semitones, octaves) instead of raw cents
  • uuid-generator — bulk mode (generate N uuids, copy as list) is the moat; verify the bulk path is one click, not buried
  • hash-generator — surface the privacy story explicitly (file never uploaded); add file-drop input alongside text input so HIPAA / legal users can hash binary files
  • qr-code-generator — logo embedding is the moat vs commodity QR generators; verify error-correction levels work with embedded logos at common sizes
  • altitude-baking-calculator — niche but real chemistry stakes; add elevation lookup by ZIP / postal code so users don't have to know their elevation
  • canning-calculator — botulism safety stakes; cross-check pressure / time tables against USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning (current source of truth?)
  • photo-collage-maker — Canva-replacement competitor; needs template library (3x3, 2x4, polaroid, etc.) before it can compete; otherwise revisit cull
  • compare-pdf — already a featured tool; needs annotated diff PDF export (currently only renders the diff visually) — Adobe Acrobat / Draftable both export annotated PDFs
PWA v1.3 — version-aware update follow-ups planned
1 / 15 shipped · 7%
  • PDF Editor programmatic invoke() — decouple render-state extraction from the React shell so window.loft.tools.invoke('pdf-editor', { file, ops }) drives the editor headless
  • Gerber Viewer programmatic invoke() — emit structured render-state JSON (layer count, outline, net summary) without mounting the React shell
  • JSON-LD potentialAction per tool — EditAction / AnalyzeAction / ViewAction so AI crawlers see action targets
  • Remove unsafe-inline from CSP script-src — requires Astro experimental.csp + per-island hash sweep
  • Trusted Types policy — require-trusted-types-for 'script' + loft-default policy wrapping changelog body set:html
  • Cloudflare Insights beacon SRI gate (PR #355 lands the env-gated path; weekly CI job to auto-PR fresh beacon hashes is still TBD)
  • Spec-digest-vs-version drift warning in scripts/build-version-manifest.mjs
  • Full WebMCP transport once the spec stabilizes (Chrome 146+ stable, Anthropic draft solidifies)
  • Narrow CSP connect-src from https://*.cloudflare.com to https://static.cloudflareinsights.com (only origin we actually use)
  • Clear verifiedWasmUrls cache on SW activate so a manifest update surfaces fresh hashes
Show 5 more (4 planned, 1 shipped)

Planned

  • OCR download progress (percent / bytes) instead of just a spinner — meaningful for 25 MB Paddle models on slow connections
  • OCR cache size: surface 'cache status unknown' instead of '—' when iOS Safari opaque response strips content-length
  • OCR Remove button: add confirm dialog (easy misclick after a 100 MB download)
  • Validate tool IDs in scripts/build-version-manifest.mjs against SAFE_TOOL_ID regex (defense in depth — SW already validates at the message boundary)
