Owncast public roadmap
While nothing is set in stone, Owncast tries to set a relatively clear roadmap for future work and features. This enables the project to discuss things far in advance to make the best possible decisions as well as allowing Owncast users to know what types of updates they can expect.
As time goes on planning for specific releases get more detailed, and it's very common for additional, smaller, releases to get slipped in between larger features to fix bugs and address feedback.

These issues are not currently assigned to anybody and still need to be completed for a release to take place.v0.2.0 Backend and web API refactor
Much like the frontend was refactored, it's time to start reorganizing and cleaning up the architecture of the backend. This begins with the API layer, and making additional steps from there. This sets the backend up for the exciting feature work that is scheduled next. These updates will happen in meaningful, but iterative chunks within v0.2.x releases. See milestone for details.
