Missing something?
This roadmap is shaped by what collectors actually need - which is to say, by the problems we encounter while cataloging our own books. If you have a feature request, a complaint, or a strong opinion about metadata standards, we'd love to hear it via our support page. We read everything. It's a compulsion.
This roadmap represents our current intentions, not contractual obligations. Features may shift in priority based on user feedback, technical constraints, or the discovery that something is harder than we thought. Which happens more often than we'd like.
