Roadmap

A user-facing view of the upstream roadmap, which remains the source of truth. This page frames each item as what it will let you do.

A richer plugin system

  • Custom item types — register item models beyond samples, cells and starting materials from a plugin, so your group's device or synthesis batch becomes a first-class record.
  • Ingestion hooks — run code on file upload or item creation, e.g. to auto-populate metadata from a filename.
  • Webapp components — ship a custom UI alongside a custom block.

Data capture

  • Unifying remote filesystems and Beholder into one story for automated capture.
  • Integration with robotic lab protocols: orchestration, execution and tracking.

Analysis

  • Rietveld refinement in the XRD block.
  • Standalone apps for particular techniques, including multi-item comparisons.
  • Microscopy data analysis and visualisation.
  • Structured synthesis information.

Platform

  • Less boilerplate in the block lifecycle: caching and export handled by the base class.
