Things we’ll never build

A roadmap is also about what stays off it. These aren’t oversights. They’re decisions.

  • Dark patterns, fake urgency, or countdown timers
  • Fake or paid-for reviews and testimonials
  • Cash bounties for signing people up
  • Putting export, or any core feature, behind a paywall
  • Guilt-worded unsubscribes and spammy re-engagement
  • Selling your data, or targeting ads with it
No dates, on purpose.Order shifts as we learn what people need, and one person can only build so fast. Impact is our honest guess at how much a thing will change your day; priority is what we’re doing about it. If something here matters to you, say so. That’s how things move up.
