Roadmap

What we've shipped, what's next.

We're a small team and Cove is new. This page shows what we've built, what we're working on now, what's queued, and what we're still thinking about. Updated when state actually changes — not on a schedule.

How to read this

Items in 'Shipped' are live and usable. 'Now' means actively in progress this month. 'Next' means queued and likely soon. 'Later' is exploratory — we may build it, may not, may build something different. We make no commitments on dates because we'd rather under-promise than miss them.
