Roadmap

No blurred line between shipping and imagining.

This roadmap describes product status, not delivery promises. Evidence from real merchants can change the order.

Available in the proof

The ownership pipeline

  • Rails CMS with account-scoped authentication
  • Structured five-page hospitality site
  • Focused content, brand, media, navigation, and SEO editing
  • Real-renderer preview
  • Deterministic static build, ZIP export, clean import, and rebuild
  • Immutable releases, restore, filesystem and S3/R2 publishing adapters
  • Owner/account-manager collaboration and publication approval
  • Schema-constrained AI proposal with owner approval
  • Replaceable contact forms and private enquiries
  • Generated-site quality and leakage audit

Next: prove in reality

The first merchant pilot

  • Hatchbox and DigitalOcean production deployment
  • Real Cloudflare/R2 hosting, DNS, certificates, and custom domain
  • Real email and form delivery
  • Backup and restoration evidence
  • Desktop, mobile, keyboard, and assistive-technology sign-off
  • Support and incident operation
  • A merchant choosing to use and maintain the site
  • Public positioning and the improved CMS experience

After evidence

Provisional horizons

  • Repeatable merchant onboarding and billing
  • Optional SEO, content, social, ads, analytics, and partner services
  • Trades, professional-services, and golf-club packs
  • Validated integrations and publishing destinations
  • Formal open-source format, renderer, and governance boundary
  • Optional small Ruby and SQLite runtime
  • Third-party ecosystem only when governance and demand justify it

Not planned for V1

Complexity without proof

  • A general WordPress-style plugin marketplace
  • Arbitrary Ruby gems or customer server code
  • A free-form visual page builder
  • Rebuilding booking, commerce, CRM, advertising, or social platforms
  • Making public websites depend on the SodaFlex CMS runtime

The open-source boundary matters too.
