Roadmap

# The NoaLingua roadmap

What is next, without dates

A handful of known gaps are being worked on, several limitations are upstream and will never change, and no dates are promised — because a one-person project that promises dates ends up either missing them or shipping something worse to meet them.

## Known gaps, roughly by how often they come up

- **More than two platforms.** YouTube and Netflix have dedicated adapters. Many other video sites serve ordinary HTML5 caption tracks, which is one adapter rather than eight, so this is tractable rather than aspirational.
- **Finnish grammar tables.** Missing for a mundane reason: the upstream dataset is published across two files and the downloader assumes one. For a language this heavily inflected it is the most conspicuous gap in coverage.
- **The free-tier cap.** Defined in the extension and not yet applied when you save, which is why [the pricing page](https://noalingua.com/pricing/) says so rather than describing a limit nobody reaches.
- **Restoring a purchase by email.** Built, and switched off until the email delivery behind it is configured. Until then it is support and a transaction id.

## Things that are not coming

- **A mobile app.** This is a browser extension. A mobile app is a different product, and putting it on a roadmap would be a promise nobody could keep.
- **A content catalogue.** Licensing shows and courses is a different business. The premise here is that you already have the content you want to watch.
- **Server-side AI over your subtitles.** Sending what you watch to somebody else's model is exactly what this product exists not to do. The local chain — grammar packs, dictionary data, example corpora — answers the same questions offline.
- **Grammar tables for Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai.** Not a gap. They are analytic or isolating languages, and there is genuinely nothing to conjugate.

## Why there are no dates

One person builds this. A roadmap with dates would either be missed or met by shipping something worse than it should have been, and neither is worth the reassurance a date provides.

What you can rely on instead: nothing already saved is ever taken away, export stays free at every tier, and the [limits page](https://noalingua.com/limits/) is kept current rather than quietly trimmed when an entry becomes awkward.
