Roadmap

This is a running list of things I want to add to Noctara. Some are near-term, some are longer-term. Nothing here is a promise, just direction.

Planned additions

Brief (daily morning digest)

I want to add a Brief section that refreshes once each morning and gives you a calm, reliable daily starting point. It would summarize what matters across what you track, plus a small amount of market-wide context.

• Includes: notes on your watchlists/portfolios, notable movers, “things to make note of,” and optional buzz from news and social discussion.
• Why: one daily habit that brings you back without turning Noctara into a noisy terminal.
• Constraint: doing this well costs money (sources, rate limits, storage) and takes time to build responsibly.
• Direction: factual + source-aware first, with user-controlled knobs for what shows up and how often.

Live rate-change tracking (research)

Noctara currently uses polling-based checks. It is not designed to be tick-by-tick streaming. I want to explore a near-live option later, but only if it can be done responsibly without turning the project into a noisy trading terminal.

• Why: faster awareness when a stock is moving.
• Constraint: real-time data is expensive and often rate-limited.
• Direction: if this ships, it will stay aligned with “less noise” and user-controlled thresholds.

More Cloud Sync capacity + reliability

Cloud Sync keeps your watchlists, portfolios, and Pinboard saved reliably. Over time I want to improve capacity, retention, and reliability so heavier usage stays smooth (more pinned items, more notes, larger history) without surprises.

• Why: better long-term tracking and more room for research notes.
• Constraint: storage and bandwidth costs grow as usage grows.

Desktop apps for macOS and Windows

Desktop apps are part of the longer-term direction for Noctara. The main constraint is shipping and maintaining them properly (distribution, updates, and ongoing support).

Project direction

• Less noise: fewer alerts that matter, not constant pings.
• Control stays with you: thresholds and cooldowns are adjustable.
• Clear data boundaries: minimal collection and straightforward storage rules (see Privacy).

Feedback

Feature requests are easiest to evaluate when they include a real example: what should be tracked, what should happen, and what “good” looks like. Send ideas through Contact.
