🚅 Windows/Linux Version Feature Roadmap!
Hey everyone! 👋
I hope you're doing well :D
I'm sorry I haven't been able to update the Windows/Linux version in a while - I had a ton of stuff going on (first my IB exams, and then some!).
I'm excited to share that I've now been able to resume development, and I'm sharing my To-Do list/feature roadmap! Feel free to reply with any other feature suggestions you have. I'll also be going through all the GitHub Issues again when I can to add anything I missed to this list.
Expect an update in < a week with a significant amount of improvements (covering a ton of stuff from the list below!) :D
Upcoming Stuff (soon! in the next ~2 updates spanning this month):
-
update to latest Gemini models
- add custom Gemini model option!
-
try to find a better hotkey detection API that doesn't force us to use only a few hotkeys
-
per-button hotkeys
-
per-button model choice
-
per-button icons! (and enhance the default state + supply my set-up as an example/on GitHub)
-
fix start on boot!
- and show the start on boot checkbox in onboarding(!!!)
-
fix
ERROR_TEXT_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_REQUESTnot showing its popup- and "An error occurred while streaming" output when the Gemini safety filters kick in!?
-
improve "Copy as Markdown"
-
set mouse cursor to loading spinner when processing?
-
encrypt the locally stored API key in config.json
-
try to improve the current annoying restart-with-every-button-edit architecture!
-
manually compile PyInstaller's bootloader to significantly reduce AV false-positives
-
sign the exe (can get a cheap signed MSIX by releasing on MS Store?)
-
diff tracking feature to easily see what the AI changed (maybe in the response window?)
-
more feature suggestions from GitHub Issues
-
various bug fixes and improvements [final: cleanup of solved GitHub issues; can archive some that are out of scope.]
Future Plan (by the next few updates, in a little over a month!)
-
add run as admin check/confirmation to onboarding, settings, and also option editor GUI if Writing Tools is running from a protected system folder where elevation is required for it to write to its config file (eg: program files)
-
implement localization (momokrono has built the entire framework)
-
Support to remove reasoning token markers if needed (DeepSeek R1 & Gemini 2.0 Thinking already work!) (Issue #109)
-
fix the model sometimes seeing 2 "user+model" pairs each time, and also that the first message in "Ask your AI..." isn't later shown to the model.
welcome back - looking forward to the new releases! Kindly include #111 on tracking changes/diff checking as you mentuoned in #184 . Maybe looking at Whisperng provides some opportunities to inegrate voice in a useful way.
Welp, looks like I'll need a few more days for the release. I've had some unforeseen personal stuff that came up.
@menelic, hey! Ah, added that cool request! :) It's something I need to brainstorm for a bit, so while it won't be coming in the imminent release, it's something that's certainly on the table.
cool features but the current version crashes often. I hope thats resolved before everything else.
Cool to know the application isn't abandoned. Any news on the potential update?
@Lordlorio I’m currently right in the midst of moving to the US for my undergrad, and my plate has been much fuller than I'd anticipated. I can't wait to continue work on Writing Tools, but I’ll need a bit!
Hey everyone! I'm sorry I wasn't able to update it in the time that I'd promised. Life got in the way, and this month too, I'm incredibly busy (interview leetcode prep + other stuff + uni exams...).
I'm yearning to update Writing Tools (tons of cool stuff architected already!), but I'll need ~a month until I can work full time on it.
The good news is that my schedule drastically clears up ~a month from now, and I promise I'll work full time on updates again starting then :)
@menelic @Ulf3000 glad to share that I've resumed work on Writing Tools :D
check out the latest update! there's a lot more to come :))
