Roadmap

This is where it all started. Repository created, initial project structure, and the vision for a free, open-source video editor. Check out the first tweet to see where it started.

Built the foundation - main layout, header, sidebar, timeline container, and basic component structure. Not all functionality yet, but the UI framework that everything else builds on.

The heart of any video editor. Timeline zoom in/out, making clips longer/shorter, dragging elements around, selection, playhead scrubbing. This part has to be fucking perfect because it's what users interact with 99% of the time.

The foundation that enables everything else. Real-time preview, video rendering, export functionality. Once this works, we can add effects, filters, transitions - basically everything that makes a video editor powerful.

After media, text is the next most important thing. Font selection with custom font imports, text stroke, colors. All the text essential text properties.

Adding visual effects to both text and media. Blur, brightness, contrast, saturation, filters, and all the creative tools that make videos pop. This is where the magic happens.

Smooth transitions between clips. Fade in/out, slide, zoom, dissolve, and custom transition effects.

Once we nail the above, we have a solid foundation to build anything. Advanced features, performance optimizations, mobile support, desktop app.
