Roadmap

What’s available and what’s next.

Product roadmap · Oct. 13, 2026

Where we're headed

What is implemented today, what still needs work, and what comes later. Chat, calls, article reading, check-ins, and fitness work on web and iOS alongside the core feed, and a native Android app is in invited internal beta. Done means implemented in the current app; it does not mean App Store or Google Play approval or availability on every platform. The original milestone dates below are historical targets.

  • 105 done
  • 6 in progress
  • 46 planned

Current work

Android beta, presence and the new look ·

Since mid-September the app grew a native Android beta, live presence, home feed cards and a partner developer platform. Remaining release and parity gaps are tracked here.

Release and limited rollout

  • iOS release validation

    In progress

    Complete manual iPhone/iPad TestFlight checks, purchase and restore scenarios, review-account access, and App Store resubmission. Native implementation is not App Store approval.

  • Strava rollout

    In progress

    OAuth, sync, disconnect, and UI are implemented behind an account feature flag. Complete provider/rollout validation before advertising general availability.

  • Make Android production-ready

    In progress

    Signed internal beta v3 is live on Google Play for invited testers. Still needed: real-device push and App Links acceptance, the public store listing and Play declarations, then a production release.

Android

  • Native calls on Android

    Planned

    Calls currently open in the browser. Add native voice and video calling with incoming-call notifications.

  • Fitness and Health Connect

    Planned

    Fitness tracking and a Health Connect integration are not built on Android yet.

  • Articles on Android

    Planned

    Native article reading and writing are not built yet.

  • Google Play billing

    Planned

    Premium cannot be bought in the Android app yet; Android members subscribe on the web.

  • Remaining Android screens

    Planned

    Muting members, Spaces, and Explore beyond people search still need native screens. Scheduled posts and bookmark collections are already native.

Next product gaps

  • Ranking policy

    Planned

    Align ranking and membership claims. Boost and profile-pin weights vary by tier, and people recommendations give Premium+ extra weight. Decide and enforce the intended policy before claiming paid-tier neutrality.

  • Steward benefits

    Planned

    Deliver the planned forum, founder updates/calls, and support workflow before presenting them as active Premium+ perks. Premium+ already includes Premium, supporter styling, and an additional people-recommendation weight.

  • Account control

    Planned

    Add data export, per-device session revocation, and a verified phone-number change/recovery flow.

  • Safety follow-through

    Planned

    Show report outcome/status to the member who reported, and add a chat read-receipt preference. User muting is already implemented.

  • Resumable post drafts

    Planned

    Saved composer drafts are stored but there is no screen to find them. Add a drafts list where you can resume, edit and publish a draft with its media intact.

  • Writing continuity

    Planned

    Continuous post autosave and cross-device recovery, plus native article writing on iOS and Android.

  • Native coins on iOS and Android

    Planned

    Balance, earnings, transfers and receipts still open on the website from both apps.

  • More native iOS screens

    Planned

    Spaces, article writing and check-in leaderboards still open on the website.

Implemented since September 16 · 9 additions
  • Android internal beta

    Done

    Native Kotlin app on Google Play internal testing: Home and check-ins, groups and channels, chat, notifications, profile and settings, phone login, welcome flows, home feed cards, presence, and switching between your person and page accounts. It is an invite-only beta, not a public release.

  • Presence everywhere

    Done

    See who is online, which platform they are on, last seen, and an in-call badge across profiles, chat headers, with online counts on the landing and login pages. Presence is disclosed at sign-up and in the privacy policy.

  • Home feed cards

    Done

    Who to follow, Marv, Get verified and badge-earned cards appear between posts on web, iOS and Android.

  • Welcome flows and Get the app

    Done

    Short welcome steppers for new Verified and Premium members, a Get the app page with a beta request form, and a posted-from-app mark on posts.

  • Maker profiles and Links

    Done

    A Links row with site favicons, a Maker strip and tab, and GitHub activity on profiles.

  • Mute user

    Done

    Hide a member's posts and notifications without unfollowing or blocking, on web and iOS.

  • Partner developer platform

    Done

    Developer apps with self-serve client and webhook secrets, rotation, signed and retrying webhooks, an admin console, and developer docs and terms.

  • Operational monitoring

    Done

    API error tracking and Sentry monitors for critical scheduled jobs, plus email bounce and complaint handling that stops later sends.

  • Live motion and navigation

    Done

    Shared motion system across web, iOS and Android, a redesigned navigation, six-box phone login with auto-submit, and Marv shown as always online.

Milestone history

Historical targets · First published Feb. 3, 2026

Calls, fitness, Marv and publishing

Shipped through September · What shipped by mid-September, kept for history. Newer work and remaining gaps are tracked in the October update above.

Implemented in the current app

  • Voice and video calls

    Done

    Web and iOS calling in eligible chats, up to 4 participants, with native incoming-call integration, reactions, and missed-call handling.

  • Fitness and Apple Health

    Done

    Verified personal accounts can track workouts, steps, activity, weight, VO2 max, and goals. Apple Health connects through iOS; synced progress is available on web. Data is private unless you deliberately share a post.

  • Premium recovery summaries

    Done

    Sleep and HRV summaries are available to Premium members when their connected Health data includes those readings.

  • Video avatars and richer media

    Done

    Premium video avatars, media cropping, supported external embeds, and an iOS Share Extension for bringing content into posts or chats.

  • Marv privacy and personal tools

    Done

    Explicit AI consent, personal context controls, memory management, and catch-up tools. Marv can use public content and permitted context from the thread or group where he participates. Usage is limited by a separate Marv credit allowance.

  • Account switching and managed Pages

    Done

    Account switching is implemented on web and iOS. Admin-managed Pages and operators exist; Pages do not receive person-only fitness or check-in access.

  • Spaces scheduling

    Done

    Schedule a Space and let members subscribe to reminders on the web. This does not yet provide a general event / RSVP system.

  • Publishing and operations

    Done

    Newsletter editing, scheduling, audience targeting, unsubscribe controls, and admin job/media tools are implemented.

  • Scripture previews

    Done

    Recognized scripture references open verse previews on web and iOS; tap-any-word dictionary lookup is still separate planned work.

Early Beta: join, verify, and participate safely

Phase 1 — Trust-first Beta · Make it easy to join and read, verify for trust, and gate participation by tier. Ship account states, reporting, and paid membership with enforced entitlements.

Trust & access (essential)

  • Account states

    Done

    Active / suspended / banned with consistent enforcement (posting, messaging, uploads, and real-time connections).

  • Identity verification

    Done

    Request verification, follow its status, and receive an administrator’s approval or rejection. Admins can revoke verification. An automated external identity-provider flow is not implemented.

  • Premium requires verification

    Done

    Verify before starting a web or App Store purchase. Paid entitlements are withheld when verification is lost; Apple subscription management remains with Apple.

Tier access (v1)

  • Unverified read-only (plus private notes)

    Done

    Read public posts and longform, follow, bookmark, and manage profile basics; create Only Me private notes. Public posting, replies, and reactions require verification.

  • Verified participation

    Done

    React, post, and reply within limits (rate limits may be lower than Premium; configurable by admins); post images and GIFs (video is Premium); create polls; use bookmark folders/collections; send coins to other verified members; start DMs with mutuals (people who follow you back); men-only read areas; no dialogues.

  • Premium access

    Done

    Longer posts, Premium-only content, video, chats with verified non-mutuals, open or private group creation, and scheduled posts. Audience restrictions and moderation still apply.

  • Spaces on web

    Done

    Host or join rooms with presence, live chat, radio playback, and synchronized YouTube watch parties. A native iOS Spaces experience remains planned.

Premium membership (launch)

  • Stripe subscriptions

    Done

    Premium ($25/mo) and Premium+ ($75/mo) billing with verification gating; entitlements are enforced in the upgrade flow and settings. Steward services beyond current Premium+ benefits remain planned.

Getting started & discovery

  • Landing & onboarding

    Done

    Clear homepage and signup; smooth onboarding so you can post and follow in your first session.

  • Discover / non-empty feed

    Done

    When you have zero follows, a "Discover" or "For you" feed (trending or recent public posts) so your home feed is never empty.

  • Suggested users / who to follow

    Done

    Real "who to follow" (by interests or activity) so you fill your feed fast and see content that matters.

  • Daily momentum loops

    Done

    Check-ins feed + leaderboard to reward consistency and visible streak progress.

  • Coins & streak rewards

    Done

    Earn coins automatically from daily streaks with escalating multipliers (1x–4x based on consecutive days); send coins to other verified members; full transfer history and receipt pages; admin coin adjustments.

  • Invites and referral rewards

    Done

    Share invite links and codes, track recruits, and earn qualifying subscription credits. Eligibility and reward status are shown in web Billing.

  • Pinned profile post

    Done

    Pin one post to the top of your profile so visitors see what matters most.

Content richness

  • Repost / quote post

    Done

    One-tap repost or quote with your own commentary; shows in your followers' feeds.

  • Link previews

    Done

    Paste a URL in a post and get a rich preview card (title, image, description); refreshed in the background.

  • GIF picker (Giphy)

    Done

    Browse and attach GIFs in the composer via a server-side Giphy proxy. Available to all verified members.

Staying in the loop

  • Push notifications

    Done

    Reply, follow, and boost notifications so you never miss a beat.

  • Email re-engagement (v1)

    Done

    Daily digest, "you have new notifications" nudges, and instant high-signal emails (provider: Resend).

  • PWA / Add to home screen

    Done

    Install the app on your phone (icon, splash, offline where useful) for an app-like experience without the app store.

Reporting (minimal for launch)

  • Report post / Report user

    Done

    "Report" in the post menu and on profiles; pick a reason and add details; we store it and admins can triage.

Ops, reliability & learning

  • Feedback

    Done

    Send us bugs and ideas; we store and triage so we can improve.

  • Reliability foundations

    Done

    Rate limits, user-facing errors, local contract checks, and purchase failure tests are implemented. Device testing and release validation remain ongoing.

  • Error monitoring

    Done

    Web, iOS and the API report errors to Sentry, with cron monitors on critical scheduled jobs. End-to-end alert verification for billing, auth and media failures is still ongoing.

  • Third-party analytics (minimal)

    Done

    Track the key funnel events (join, verify submitted/approved, first post, follow, upgrade) so we can measure what's working.

  • Hydration hardening

    In progress

    Ongoing SSR/client mismatch fixes and guardrails to reduce front-end render regressions.

  • Terms of Service + Privacy Policy

    Done

    Public legal pages so members know the rules and their rights.

Discovery, content & polish

Phase 2 — A site that's full of life · Improve discovery and polish, but keep trust tight: SEO boundaries (robots, sitemap, canonical + share previews) and stronger reporting triage. Add post editing with limits and version history, drafts/autosave, and start integrations with webhooks. Subscription management and notification controls round it out.

Discovery

  • Explore / trending with real data — Trending or popular posts and "who to follow" in Explore or the right rail, so discovery feels alive.

    Done
  • Hashtags & topics (v1) — Add hashtags to posts and simple topic pages so you can find and follow themes that matter to you.

    Done
  • Local discovery

    Done

    State and location feeds so you can see who’s building in your state.

Content & member experience

  • Edit post (with limits + history)

    Done

    You can edit up to 3 times in 30 minutes; posts show an edited label; we keep previous versions so we can review changes.

  • Post drafts and autosave

    In progress

    Web offers a save-on-leave prompt, but saved composer drafts are not listed in Only Me and still need a retrieval/resume screen. Continuous autosave and cross-device recovery remain incomplete. Article autosave is implemented.

  • Admin-only restore

    Planned

    Restore soft-deleted posts (admin-only for now).

  • No advertising placements

    Done

    The app has no paid ad placements. Feed and people recommendations currently use membership weights; ranking policy is tracked in the current priorities.

  • Polls (v1)

    Done

    Verified members can create polls; poll results notifications are delivered cleanly in notifications.

  • Bookmark collections (v1)

    Done

    Verified members can save posts into folders and manage bookmark organization from a dedicated bookmarks surface.

  • Manage subscription — Stripe customer portal (manage or cancel) via Settings → Billing.

    Done
  • Scheduled posts

    Done

    Write now, publish later; manage everything queued from a dedicated screen. On web and iOS.

  • Member status

    Done

    Set a short, expiring status on your profile so people know what you're working on.

  • Weekly missions

    Done

    Milestone-style weekly goals surfaced in the home feed to encourage consistent engagement.

  • Marv AI

    Done

    Premium members can use Marv in supported threads and chats within their Marv credit allowance. AI consent, optional personal context, and memory controls are implemented; private context stays subject to its permissions.

Reporting system (stronger admin triage)

  • Report queue

    Done

    Admin list with filters (post vs user, category) and resolution states (pending, dismissed, action taken).

  • Optional: we notify you when we've taken action (or you can check report status in-app), so you know we're on it.

    Planned

SEO & sharing boundaries (trust-preserving)

  • Robots control

    Done

    Keep private/restricted surfaces out of search; environment-aware rules.

  • Sitemap

    Done

    A sitemap for public profiles and public posts only; restricted tiers never appear.

  • Canonical + share previews

    Done

    Canonical URLs everywhere; share previews never leak restricted content. Premium content also respects the rule: premium requires verified.

Open surfaces

  • RSS / Atom / JSON feeds

    Done

    Subscribe to articles, topics, and any member's public posts in your own reader; browsable feed directory.

  • Public read API

    Done

    Documented read-only endpoints for public posts and profiles.

Notifications

  • Notification preferences — Choose what you get: mute replies, only chats, no boost notifications, etc.; per type or global.

    Done

Live & real-time

  • Radio in Spaces

    Done

    Listen to supported audio streams with room chat and reactions on the web. The old /radio route redirects to Spaces; a separate native radio screen is not implemented.

  • Watch party

    Done

    Sync a YouTube video so a room watches together with live chat reactions.

Admin & operations

  • Admin analytics dashboard

    Done

    Key platform metrics (DAU/MAU, content, growth) visible to admins.

  • Admin site settings

    Done

    Feature flags and site-wide config manageable by admins without a deploy.

  • Admin media review

    Done

    Review uploaded media, inspect content ownership, and remove eligible orphaned media. This is an admin review tool, not a claim that every upload is approved before publication.

Groups, Chat, safety & data

Phase 3 — Depth & trust · Ship deeper ways to connect (groups, dialogues, chat), strengthen safety controls, and add the first longform publishing path (articles). Add real-time post-thread updates so conversations feel alive. Keep compliance minimal but real (delete/export).

Community depth

  • Groups (v1) — Create and join groups; group feed or group-scoped posts so you have pockets of accountability and conversation.

    Done
  • Chat

    Done

    Direct and group conversations on web and iOS, with message requests, photos, voice notes, Premium video messages, replies, reactions, search, read receipts, and per-conversation notification muting. Chat is access-controlled; this is not a claim of end-to-end message encryption.

Longform publishing

  • Articles (v1)

    Done

    A separate longform editor (rich text/markdown with safe rendering), drafts + autosave, publish/unpublish, and SEO-friendly public pages; views, boosts, reactions, and comments.

Real-time engagement

  • Live thread updates

    Done

    New replies, edits, deletes, and engagement changes update without a page refresh. Admin restoration of deleted posts remains planned.

Safety & control

  • Block user

    Done

    Block interactions and remove blocked accounts from your signed-in experience; manage the block list in Settings. Public content can still be seen while signed out.

  • Mute user

    Done

    "See less": hide their posts and notifications without unfollowing. Feed-level muting is implemented on the API, web and iOS.

Account & data

  • Delete account

    Done

    Request deletion inside web or iOS Settings, with immediate sign-out, a recovery window, and deletion-status tracking. The deletion worker removes personal content and fitness data and cancels Stripe billing; Apple subscriptions must be managed separately through Apple.

  • Download my data — Export your posts, profile, and bookmarks so you own your data.

    Planned
  • Active sessions / devices

    In progress

    Sign out everywhere is implemented. A device/session list with individual revocation remains to be built.

Status & support

  • Public status page or link so you can check uptime; in-app Help/Contact so you can reach us.

    Done
Native iOS app

Phase 4 — Native iOS · The current iOS app implements feed, groups, chat, calls, article reading, fitness, check-in day feeds, and account controls on the shared API. Article writing, coins, and Spaces still use web surfaces. TestFlight validation and App Store approval remain separate release milestones. Android has its own native beta, tracked in the October update.

    Done

    Read, post, reply, and boost; real-time updates via websockets.

    Done

    Notification preferences, privacy controls, blocked-user management, and feedback.

  • Premium via the App Store

    Done

    StoreKit purchase and restore. Subscriptions started on the web are managed on the web.

  • Deep linking

    Done

    Posts, profiles, groups, and topics open natively from a shared link or a push notification; anything without a native screen falls back to the web.

  • Only Me + scheduled posts

    Done

    Private notes and scheduled posting, same as the web.

  • Discovery extras

    Done

    Online Now, Word of the Day, Daily Quote, and topic, category, and state feeds.

    Native check-in composer, streaks, and day feeds. Leaderboards still open on the web.

Native additions and remaining web handoffs

    Done

    Native inbox and conversation screens, direct and group chats, requests, media, reactions, read indicators, search, and notification muting.

  • Article reading

    Done

    Native article discovery, reading, boosts, reactions, and comments. Writing and editing still open on the website.

  • Native coins screens

    Planned

    Balance, earnings, transfers, and receipts currently use the website. Native wallet and transfer screens remain planned.

  • Native Spaces

    Planned

    Rooms, shared radio, watch parties, and room chat currently use the website. Native playback and participation remain planned.

  • Native article writing

    Planned

    Reading is native; drafting, rich-text editing, and publishing still require the website.

  • Native leaderboards

    Planned

    Check-in day feeds are native; check-in rankings still open on the website.
