TermUI Roadmap

This file shows where TermUI is, what is in progress, and what comes next. Use it to find work that fits your skill level.

Full version with details: Roadmap wiki page.

Current state (v0.1.x)

TermUI ships a working core today:

  • Layout engine with flexbox and constraint rules
  • Differential renderer. Only changed cells redraw.
  • JSX runtime and React-style hooks
  • 14 packages, 600+ tests passing
  • Theming, animations, routing, hot-reload dev server
  • 40+ widgets and a headless test harness

Where work stands

Wave Focus Status
Wave 1 Core widgets Merging now
Waves 2 to 4 Capabilities, adapters, prompts, registry, templates All assigned
Wave 5 Coverage and polish Open and claimable
Wave 6 New widgets Open and claimable
Wave 7 Hooks and core depth Open and claimable
Wave 8 Subsystem depth Open and claimable
Waves 9 to 10 DX and differentiators Planned

Waves 5 to 8 are open right now with 55 unassigned issues across all skill levels. Browse open good first issues or the project board. Comment "I would like to work on this" to claim one. You hold at most 2 open issues at a time.

Wave 5: Coverage and polish (beginner, no feature code)

  • Tests for untested code: dev-server and testing have zero tests; ui has 9 untested components; widgets has 12.
  • Examples not built yet: forms-and-validation, multi-screen-router, ai-streaming, auth-flow, cli-wrapper-live.
  • Docs: "Choosing your API" guide, DEVELOPMENT.md, expanded thin READMEs.

Wave 6: New widgets (beginner to intermediate)

DatePicker, TimePicker, ColorPicker, Slider, RangeInput, Autocomplete, SearchableSelect, TreeTable, MultilineTextInput, SegmentedControl, Carousel, ContextMenu.

Wave 7: Hooks and core depth (intermediate)

useReducer, useLayoutEffect, useId, useImperativeHandle, Suspense, lazy(), Portal, clipboard read and paste, wide-character fallback.

Wave 8: Subsystem depth (intermediate to advanced)

  • Store: middleware, persist, computed selectors, immutable helpers
  • Motion: keyframes, custom easing, chained sequences, 2D vectors
  • Router: lazy routes, guards, nested routes, query strings, param validation
  • TSS: nesting, mixins, color functions, pseudo-class states, imports
  • Data: WebSocket, REST client, caching, time-series history

Wave 9: Developer experience (intermediate to advanced)

Error overlay, theme hot reload, devtools inspector UI, snapshot testing, accessibility test queries, VS Code snippets, scaffold improvements.

Wave 10: Strategic differentiators (advanced, mentor-led)

Command palette v2, web serving, plugin architecture, full styling system, demo recording tool, interactive playground and gallery. Each starts as an RFC.

How to pick work

  1. Open the project board.
  2. Filter by difficulty label.

  4. Wait for assignment, then open your PR within 7 days.

You hold at most 2 open issues at a time. Open and merge a PR from one before you claim a third.
