Roadmap

Where Inkwell is headed. Dates are estimates and priorities shift with community feedback, so read this as a plan, not a promise.

Just shipped

v1.0.9 — Close the loops

Push your posts straight to a WordPress or Ghost site. Add contact forms to your pages with no third-party script. Serve phones smaller images, let a CDN cache your post pages, and write pages in Markdown. Every card that was in the Now column shipped, including all four marked “if time allows”, together with a redesigned Desk and a Docker setup that creates its own database.

Before that, v1.0.8 added newsletter sending, Markdown posts, two-factor sign-in, and WordPress and Ghost export.
