# Future Plans

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

## Building a great RSS Desktop Client

At minimum I need to build a functionally complete RSS reader which will include: 
- Feed management
- Beautiful UI (gonna be hard!)
- Multimedia support
- Export stories to Markdown

### Performance
- Needs to make use of threads with UI feedback on processing (need to use tasks & `iced::stack`)
- Loads of caching
- Respect 304 (not modified)

## Pro-Decentralization

### Import/Export
- Many import/export options (OPML + full database)
- Import items from FreshRSS (stories)
- 
### Discovery Service

RSSCAR will crawl 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.


### Darknet Support
Censorship resistance matters! Tor & I2P sites should be first-class citizens and handled accordingly. 

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


## Information Management


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


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

## Auto archive?
- Add stories to wayback machine

### Markdown Export
Export stories for Logseq/Obsidian (how will you get keywords/tags?)
