Roadmap
Note 0: Plans may change and shift a lot. Usually because of unforeseen stuff (e.g. TI10 invite: it effectively shifted all the plans by 3-4 months
If you want to be up to date with everything, please check out Patreon (via Donations page) and my Discord
Note 1: Some projects are planned for several months. These will be listed several times: first would be either the starting point of its development or the first fully functional prototype, second being a point of release (if it is planned for release).
Note 2: This page will be updated occasionally, when stuff happens.
Note 3: When planning try to multiply your estimated time by 2, then multiply it once more.
Note 4: When planning, I don't consider any sort of partnerships (like working at TI) to happen. If these actually happen, timeline changes significantly.
