From this week, we’re going to report our activities every week.

🚥 New road map

Currently we’re preparing a new road map for this year. We’ve noticed that lots of people are confused about what’s going on with this project since we released the new Boost Note app(Boost Note.next). So we want to share the current status of both the old app and the new app and our future plan.

Please check the road map draft in the link below. We want to gather more ideas to finalize this. You can leave comments directly in the document or join our slack and discuss it in the #dev-next and #dev-legacy channels!

For people who don’t have time to read the whole document, here’s the summary.(As I said, it is still a draft, so the details can be changed based on your feedback. Please share your ideas!)

Our goal is to make the Boost Note app more versatile and extensible.

We will continue maintaining the old app until every user can happily move to the new app.

The new app will have file system based storage like the old app, but better, before the end of June .

. The new app will have its own plugin system like Atom and VSCode this year.

We will also provide a separate snippet app this year because the new app won’t support snippet notes from the old app.

Thank Flexo013 and ZeroX-DG for helping to make the initial draft!
