🚀 Product Roadmap

Overview

This is a tentative roadmap for SuperDoc - the modern collaborative document editor for the web. Some items might be discarded; others might be added later as we evolve. It's beneficial for the community to know our ideas and objectives.

Project Management

Work on SuperDoc is managed by the core team at ⛵️ Harbour, with contributions from our open-source community. Development may be alternated with other projects and community support.
