Roadmap
Roadmap
What we’re working on, what’s queued, and what’s parked. No quarter promises — Specter is a tiny operation and we’d rather ship the right thing than the right thing on a guessed date. See the changelog for what’s already shipped, and the capabilities matrix for what each platform can do today.
If something on this list is the reason you haven’t bought yet, email me — knowing what matters most to real users is how I decide what jumps ahead.
Now
What’s actively in progress.
- Spectersync in your browser. The hosted workspace — connect a CMS, edit and run AI recipes in the browser, review the diff, publish back, no install — is live with self-serve subscriptions: pick a plan and check out right from the site.
- Windows builds. The desktop app is built and packaged; what’s left is the first real signed run and a clean-machine install test.
Next
What’s queued for the next few releases.
- More CMS connectors. Sanity, Contentful, Strapi — picked based on which platforms users actually ask for after the current connectors are deeper.
- Linux builds. Same story as Windows — packaging works, finishing the auto-update polish.
- Rename-as-retitle. Renaming a local file currently creates a duplicate post on Ghost because the saved ID follows the new file. Should retitle the existing post instead — with a confirm prompt.
- Stale-id fix. If a local file’s saved Ghost ID points to a post that no longer exists, the push currently treats it as already-synced instead of creating it fresh.
- Per-post sync history. A tiny stats screen showing when each file last changed locally vs. on the CMS. Useful for AI workflows — “did my pass actually land?”.
Later
Bigger bets and parking-lot ideas. Real interest from users moves these up the list.
- Team invites in the browser workspace. The Team plan includes 3 seats; the invite-your-teammates flow (shared workspaces, member management) is the part still being built.
- Better Linux updates. Easier in-place updates for packaged Linux installs.
- Publish-mode command. One-click “take this local draft to published” without leaving the editor.
- Mac App Store distribution. Easier discovery and installation for new users, with some tradeoffs for the more flexible local-file workflows power users rely on.
Why this list is short
I’m a one-person shop running this alongside revenue-generating Ghost sites of my own. That means I ruthlessly avoid features I wouldn’t use myself, and I won’t add the eighth toggle to a settings panel just because someone might want it. The roadmap stays short on purpose.
If you’ve got something specific you want — or you’re stuck on something Specter could solve but doesn’t yet — tell me. Real use cases beat speculative ones every time.
