Roadmap
A realistic plan focused on shipping. This roadmap is aligned with the v1.0 release week (Fri 9 Jan 2026) and outlines the next steps to grow PyColors into a stable ecosystem: UI, Starters, and Templates.
Ship the PyColors ecosystem funnel: UI → Starter (Free) → Starter Pro → Templates. Weekly releases, measurable improvements, and a public roadmap.
Every component and starter ships with Preview, Usage, Code, and clear conventions.
Trust pages, licensing, demos, packaging, analytics, and a predictable update cadence.
Release Week (Mon 5 → Fri 9 Jan 2026)
Ship PyColors UI v1.0: core components + docs baseline + release hygiene.
Button, Input, Badge, Card, Alert: consistent variants + sizing + docs (Preview / Usage / Code / Props).
Unify Related guides, add missing Preview/Code tabs, fix footer consistency between docs & marketing, quick navigation cleanup.
Changelog page + Roadmap page + version bump + release notes format. Ensure “v1.0” looks serious.
January 2026 (post-release)
Stabilize, improve docs quality, and build the distribution loop.
Home page v2 + dedicated pages: Templates, License, About. Trust-first baseline for distribution.
New “Patterns” section with production UX rules + interactive demos: overlays decision matrix, async mutation UX, and data table states (loading/empty/error/filtering/row actions).
Production-ready data table patterns and previews: loading/empty/error states, filtering, and row actions. Minimal, practical approach for dashboards.
Metadata positioning cleanup (ecosystem messaging), canonical-ready docs metadata improvements, and refreshed favicons for consistent branding.
Repeatable launch routine: demo links, screenshot kit, “What’s new” posts, and a publish checklist.
Published NA-AI as a Template on PyColors site + demo/purchase links + license section + cross-links from docs.
Fix edge cases, polish docs, align tokens + class naming, reduce inconsistencies discovered after weekly releases.
February 2026
Ship Starter (Free) public alpha + strengthen trust surface (SEO, analytics, licensing).
First complete set of advanced, dashboard-grade UI primitives: Dialog/Modal, Dropdown/Menu, Tabs, Tooltip, and Toast. Each component ships with a stable, aligned API, accessibility-first behavior.
Shipped advanced UI + patterns required for dashboard-grade product UX (Overlays, Async actions, Data Table) and aligned component docs.
Published @pycolors/tokens and @pycolors/eslint-config on npm. Ecosystem-level consistency: UI + Tokens + Linting aligned under a single architecture.
Hardened subtree strategy: monorepo as source of truth, public repos as distribution mirrors with automated PR sync.
Formalized weekly marketing releases aligned with versioning and public roadmap updates.
Starter Free is now publicly documented and positioned as the onboarding entry point: production-shaped UX, clear upgrade path, and a docs-first adoption flow.
Shipped Starter Free documentation: installation, folder structure, conventions, deployment, upgrade path, plus auth & billing concepts.
Added npm badges (version/downloads/license) powered by shields.io, enabled remote SVG images with a tighter CSP, and improved internal routing to docs.
Refined PyColors UI and Starter pages around shipping outcomes, improved homepage entry points, and tightened a11y + navigation for a smoother onboarding funnel.
Finish GA4/GTM wiring, validate key events, and set up Search Console indexing checks for faster discoverability.
Logo v1, domain hygiene, and lightweight legal pages (license, privacy, terms) to support trust and early sales.
Add a lightweight waitlist + early access flow to capture demand and build an audience before the Pro version.
Pricing + license clarity, packaging checklist, demo stability, and a minimal purchase funnel aligned with weekly releases.
Public “good first issue”, bug bash cadence, and roadmap grooming based on real user feedback from docs + templates.
H1 2026 (first half)
Blocks + first premium templates. Start monetization loop with predictable releases.
Copy/paste sections: hero, feature grids, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, CTA, footers. Each block documented.
First premium templates built on PyColors UI: landing + dashboard. Packaging + README + license + demo.
Requests and issues help prioritize what ships next.
Note: roadmap items may shift based on feedback, bugs, and real-world usage.
