A software roadmap normally shows what features are being worked on and what is being planned. I generally don’t share my roadmap since firstly, it’s largely in my head, and secondly, and I don’t want to disappoint everyone. So, with that in mind, these things are what I intend to work on. However I don’t know which order I will work on them, or when, and I might do other things around them; but I plan for them to happen eventually.

The Roadmap

• Update Clipboard API: Currently the copy and paste clipboard is not a system feature. It’d be super cool if it was able to use the system Clipboard so that we can copy and paste things from other apps into Brush Ninja (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API). I don’t know if this is possible but I think it deserves some resarch.
• Speech effects: Use the Javascript speech api to add speech to animations. Not as good as full AI speech but it’d be fun to do.
• Allow members to use their own sound effects
• A new tool for making music and sound effects

I admit it, that’s quite a small list. If there’s anything you would like to see added then please do let me know. I can’t promise I will add it but I pay attention to every bit of feedback I get.

Smaller tasks

• Let users delete images stored with the images tool.
• Rebuild the gif to mp4 convertor to make the app easier to maintain.
