Development Roadmap

Chordly is an evolving project, and the roadmap exists to give users and contributors a clear view of where it’s heading. Features are prioritised based on community feedback, ease of use, and the goal of making chord management as simple and reliable as possible. While not every idea will make it into the final product, sharing the roadmap helps keep development transparent and ensures that musicians, teachers, and performers can see how Chordly will continue to grow over time.
