These are ideas we are tracking but not yet committed to:
| Idea | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mobile SDKs | React Native, Capacitor |
| Node.js backend adapter | Use ZerithDB DB on the server |
| Blockchain anchoring | Optional: anchor Yjs state vectors to a chain for tamper evidence |
| Differential privacy | Add noise to analytics without exposing individual records |
| WASM CRDT engine | Compile Rust-based CRDT to WASM for 10x sync performance |
| Cross-app data sharing | Standardized schemas for inter-app data portability |
- Vote with 👍 on GitHub Issues to signal demand.
- Start a Discussion with your use case — real use cases drive priorities.
- Build it — PRs for roadmap features are the fastest way to ship them.
