Roadmap

Where Kinkeep is headed, updated as priorities change. The application is in alpha, so treat everything below as direction rather than as a commitment with a date.

Now

What is being worked on.

Streamlined tracking workflows

The flows for logging medical visits, attaching media and recording events, redesigned around what a caretaker actually does rather than around what was easiest to build first.

Inventory management

Medicines, supplies and equipment per group, with quantities and expiry dates, so nothing runs out unnoticed.

Portable archives

Take a group or an animal out as a single zip: its records, its files and the catalogue words it uses. It is what lets a record move to another instance, and what makes a copy of one group possible.

Next

Committed for the near future.

Data import

Read an archive back into an instance, either one entity at a time or as a full dump, so that moving in and restoring a backup are both possible. This is also what keeps a group from being locked into one host. The format is documented and versioned, so a tool that is not Kinkeep can write one and read one.

Change history

A full audit trail of every record: who changed what, and when. It is also the groundwork for collaborative editing without conflicts.

Auto-save

Form state saved as you type, so nothing is lost to an accidental navigation or a connection that drops.

Later

On the radar, not yet scheduled.

Offline mode

Record entries without a connection, syncing once one is available. Some of the places where people care for animals have no reliable coverage, and that should not stop the record being kept.
