The Buzz.js Road map

I'm not going to describe Buzz.js again because the documentation for it not only exists inside the README but this is the SDK that lets all the magic actually happen.

• In the first phase, the base SDK — meaning the fundamental components, services, and controllers that everything else would be built on top of — is made. Even the other, more specified, widgets in the framework like the PageViews that are supposed to be the topmost Widgets in the every Page in the WebApp — a System Navigable widget class.

• In the second phase, we would be writing the more specialized widget while running edge-case tests on the stuff we already have in order to fix any bugs and make any optimizations that would be necessary under the hood. Here, we would make widgets that handle responsiveness like the ResponsivePageView, and even some specific use cases like a CalendarWidget😄.

• In the third phase, we would begin offering crowds and groups to test Buzz and share their feedback with us. Then, the contributors would split into two teams: the first one would work on porting Buzz to the Node.js ecosystem while the second one would work on performing bug fixes and optimizations that the communities and groups we offer to try buzz suggest.
