Roadmap

Roadmap

Master word: ease. Every step ships as its own small release; what is learned on a real Pi comes first. Order agreed in October 2026.

Now - 0.16

1. Test on other boards: Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Pi 5, and tune Chromium for the Pi 3.
2. First real try of the Wi-Fi box and of the safety net (both new in 0.16), and of the ready-to-flash image.
3. Turn the per-board limits from estimates into measurements.

Next

• Offline voice on the Pi (Vosk): the page sends the sound to the Pi, which recognises it. Works in any browser (Edge, Firefox, Safari), no Google or Microsoft, the voice never leaves home. Cost: about 50 MB per language on the SD card, a bit less accurate, one or two seconds on a Pi 4.
• A settings menu on the Pi itself (raspi-config style), for when no phone is at hand.
• Releases page: versioned downloads and release notes on GitHub.

Later, ideas

• Blink camera thumbnails.
• A web-only hosted mode (no Raspberry Pi): parked on purpose for now.

What we won't do, and why

• Google Assistant / "OK Google": being retired, SDK restricted.
• Google Photos / Google Drive / iCloud, directly: no API lets a small home app read them; "Add photos" (the phone's picker lists those apps), Dropbox links or rclone to a folder instead.
• Spotify / Deezer playback: need a Premium account; optional plugins only.
• Blink live view: unofficial API gives thumbnails/clips, not a live stream.
• Alexa: custom skill needs a cloud endpoint; limited commands.
• TV listings: only reading XMLTV you provide, because of data licensing.

Done
