# Future Plans

I have ambitious plans for the future, there are many features



## Phase 1: Minimum Viable Platform


### Building a great RSS Desktop Client

At minimum I need to build a functionally complete RSS reader which will include: 



[Phase 1 issues](https://code.gabe.rocks/gabriel/rss-tool/milestone/1)

***Once this phase is complete I will begin preparing releases.***


### Darknet Support
Censorship resistance matters!  
Tor & I2P sites should be first-class citizens and handled accordingly. This is [currently supported](https://code.gabe.rocks/gabriel/rss-tool/commit/240cb19589bc9d42fbae4331562e0f24413c108c) via the system daemons, but in the future will use mechanisms like [arti-client](https://crates.io/crates/arti-client) 


### Information Management

#### Categories
Manage feeds and put them in logical groups

#### Full-text search 
- requires [triggers](https://youtu.be/eXMA_2dEMO0) to stay up to date...
- Can help a great deal with performing as a useful search engine

### Strong Multi-media support

## Phase 2: Enhancements & Polish

[Issues](https://code.gabe.rocks/gabriel/rss-tool/milestone/2)

### Information Management
- Export stories to Markdown/base for knowledge graphs
- Archiving
    - wayback
    - local archive

### Podcasting 2.0
Where possible the podcast namespace should be supported (transcriptions, chapters, etc)

### Discovery Service

RSSCAR will use links from the content to discover new feeds. This adds a crucial discovery feature that can help people actually browse the independent web without worrying about censorship.
