Future Ideas / Functionality Requests

[codingiswhyicry]

IMO, these are items that Aureus needs in the future as we continue to build out support for more non-profits and types of software. I'll continue to add things in this thread to keep track of them as we go :-)

• [ ] Data visualization components. This is mostly for software that features some sort of analytics / data science component. Aetheria already has this, and our future software will too.
• [ ] More customization options in terms of UI for other developers. The UI is very Astra-centric right now because Astra is the only org using it, but I would really love to hear input about what other developers want in terms of UI customization. I'm trying to strike a good balance in between letting Aureus auto-generate stuff, and giving the user flexibility. I really don't want it to end up like Flutter where there's a 10000000 different optional params and a lot of different ways to go about stuff. I want to keep it really beginner friendly, so opinions requested.
• [ ] More desktop specific elements. Most of these have been based around mobile, but stuff like a Desktop navigation side menu would be really helpful. Actually, Aureus just needs more menus in general.
• [ ] More kinds of UI elements that would be helpful. Obviously Aureus has a lot, but there has already been use cases where I've discovered while developing other stuff that there's always more to program. I try to integrate it when I can, but I can't account for everyone.
• [ ] Specific items meant to be used in an emergency. Quick Action Bar is a good example of this, but I want very specific emergency / crisis buttons that a developer can link to, or other stuff that is CLEARLY intended for crisis use. As always, expanding on the safety part of this is huge.
• [ ] More tool templates, and more ideas about how to format the flow and change it. I think it would be cool to have a bunch of tool templates, and then different ways that they render with different formats. (E.G: Some tools might be a swipeable thing, allowing users to make their own custom tools, having full-screen options for tool templates like TikTok, etc). IDK, I really love the idea of tool templates and they've already been so helpful in the development of everything that I can't help but imagine the possibilities for it.

Will add more as more comes up, but just formally starting a place for them here :-)

Also, wanting to add more about specific documentation. I would love to work with other orgs / people to create a documentation library for Aureus that goes beyond developing software, but also includes designing, creating a non-profit, managing user relations, etc. Very far out idea, but I think it's relatively solid to base stuff on.

closing this because it's less of a GH issue and more a roadmap choice that's covered in our v2 roadmap issue
