Roadmap

Roadmap

Plans, not promises. Scaffold has no release dates to hold you to, but it does have a clear order of work and a short list of things it will never do.

Building now

6

Work in progress for the first release.

  • Windows app and installer

    The desktop app with a normal per-user Windows installer, in preview. From 0.2.0 it updates from inside the app.

    Apps

  • Android app (in preview)

    The same app with a touch-first layout, as a release-signed APK you install yourself. A preview build is on the download page. Next: opening a folder from the device, so sync apps can reach your vault.

    Apps

  • Editor: live preview, source and reading modes

    Markdown editing with links, tags, properties, tasks and callouts rendered as you write.

    Editor

  • Graph, canvas and bases

    The link graph, JSON Canvas boards and property-driven tables, lists and cards.

    Views

  • Plugin SDK and a sample plugin

    A permission-gated API for commands, views and editor tools, with a sample to start from.

    Extensibility

  • Optional sync between your devices

    Coming in a later update, not in the current version. Opt-in per vault, off by default, and no Scaffold server ever holds your notes.

Next

Planned for after the first release.

  • Code-signed Windows installer

    Early Windows builds are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen warns on first run (choose More info, then Run anyway, after checking the SHA-256). Code signing is revisited only if it turns out to stop people from trying Scaffold. Android APKs are already release-signed.

    Apps

  • Real screenshots on this site

    The phone on the home page is a real Android screenshot; the desktop window is still an illustration drawn in HTML and CSS and will be replaced with a screenshot of the running app.

    Website

  • Plugin development guide

    A step-by-step guide for writing, packaging and sharing a plugin.

    Extensibility

Considering

3

Ideas with no commitment or date.

  • macOS, Linux and iOS builds

    The code is cross-platform, but these targets are not being built or tested, and nothing is promised.

    Apps

  • Quick capture from the web

    A way to send a page or a selection into a note, such as a bookmarklet or an Android share target.

    Files

  • Translations

    An interface and a site in more languages than English.

    Website

Not planned, on purpose

4

Things Scaffold will not do, so you do not have to wonder.

  • Accounts and sign-in

    Scaffold will not require, or offer, an account. There is nothing server-side to sign in to.

    Principles

  • Subscriptions, paywalled features and ads

    Every feature stays available to everyone, and the app will not show advertising.

    Principles

  • Analytics and telemetry

    The app and this site collect no usage data and set no cookies.

    Principles

  • Hosted sync and hosted publishing

    Scaffold will not run a server that stores your notes. Sync with the folder tool you already trust, and publish by exporting static files.

    Principles
