The place to discuss future features and plans.¹ If you have an idea randomly while developing, just throw it in here. This is not a for sure to-do list—just a bunch of ideas for after we have the Pirate Wallet framework built... then, if you're bored, you can attempt to implement something from this list.

Footnotes

1. I (@PetalCat) think we should call the different apps in the Wallet Applets unless someone has better terminology ↩

2. I was talking to Mrs. Bulger today about how useful it would be to connect all the data like that and maybe even set up a system where teachers could make "programs" sort of like Google Sheets to automatically calculate different things using all of that data that all in one place ↩

3. What if we built a free/libre open source software framework for the sake of making a nice-to-use API we could hook up with a custom Content Management System for easy blogging for the psdr3 website, PattonvilleToday, and any other school websites?⁴ ↩

4. The Pirate Players is the other one I know of, but I'm sure there's more. ↩
