Roadmap

Nether ships in six phases. Each ends with a usable app and a gate, a test that must pass before the next phase starts. Phases have no fixed dates.

Phase	What it delivers	Gate
0. Foundations	Decisions, the repository, CI, the data model, a 50,000-note test vault	CI passes, including a server run with every enterprise feature off
1. Local-first notes	The desktop app: a vault on disk, the block and Markdown editor, links, backlinks, tags, search, templates, export	A 50,000-note vault edits offline within the performance targets
2. Databases and structure	Databases with six views, relations, rollups, formulas, synced blocks, the graph view, themes, importers	An Obsidian vault and a Notion export import with no lost text
3. Sync and collaboration	The server, end-to-end encrypted sync, history, co-editing, comments, permissions, the web app, the canvas, backups	docker compose up works, and two people co-edit offline and online with no lost edits
4. Platform	Plugins in a sandbox, bring-your-own AI, share links, publishing, the REST API, the web clipper, automations	Third-party plugins run sandboxed, and a published site loads on a custom domain
5. Enterprise, mobile and scale	Single sign-on, SCIM, audit logs, data policies, high availability, the Helm chart, mobile apps, integrations	A self-hosted install runs air-gapped with single sign-on and audit logs on, and no license key

Phase 3 is the first public release: sync and self-hosting are what set Nether apart from both Notion and Obsidian.

The roadmap in the repository tracks the current phase task by task.
