This is Buttondown's public roadmap and issue tracker. Please feel free to watch, comment on, or create issues (though please don't be offended if I close or modify them!)
The issue tracker can be a large and daunting place — for us, the people who build Buttondown, let alone hapless bystanders and spectators! If you're looking to find out what we're working on in a given point in time, I'd recommend poking around the projects view which breaks down the work in a bit more detail.
If you're interested in the specific labels I use, here's a handy primer:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| bug | Items labeled bug are, well, bugs. I tend to take these pretty seriously. |
| documentation | Items labeled documentation are improvements to docs.buttondown.email. (Did you know that was open source?) |
| ergonomics | Items labeled ergonomics are fixing paper cuts and making things just a little nicer. |
| feature | Items labeled feature are brand-new functionality. I am pretty surgical and persnickety with this work: I try to be very mindful of when and how to grow Buttondown's surface area, with the full understanding that with each new feature comes complexity. |
| integrations | Items labeled integrations are integrations with other services like Slack, Zapier, or IFTTT. |
| marketing | Items labeled marketing are marketing in the 'classic' sense — ways to better improve the placement and representation of Buttondown in the larger newsletter ecosystem! I know it's odd to put this on the "roadmap" but I think it's a useful reflection — I want the roadmap to be adequately representative of how and where I spend my time. |
| operations | Items labeled operations are meant to be internal — checkers to make my alerting infrastructure better, scripts to speed up annoying tasks, that sort of thing. Again, you probably don't need to care about this: but it's transparent, right? |
| pending | Items labeled pending are blocked on some other thing, whether it's a Buttondown thing or exogenous. |
| performance | Items labeled performance are about making Buttondown faster, both on the frontend and the backend side. |
| technical debt | Items labeled technical debt are about improving the codebase and internal abstractions, so as to speed up future development flows. |
| zapier | Items labeled zapier pertain to Buttondown's Zapier integration. |
