Roadmap

PoseForge aims to become the easiest local-first way to transform a person or family into a new pose using an AI plan or local image stack you already have. This roadmap communicates direction, not promised dates. Priorities may change as real users report where they get stuck.

Now — launch readiness

• Make a fresh installation reliable through npm run setup.
• Verify macOS and Linux compatibility on clean machines.
• Improve identity preservation and multi-person pose adherence.
• Polish Codex CLI and Google Antigravity readiness diagnostics.
• Publish a tested ComfyUI workflow and local hardware guidance.
• Add reproducible character → pose → result demonstrations.
• Improve privacy, troubleshooting, and provider data-flow documentation.
• Publish the first tagged GitHub release.

Next — adoption and reliability

• Add engine-specific diagnostics and generation retry guidance.
• Add export/import for local settings, recipes, and pose libraries without including secrets or personal photos by default.
• Improve generation comparison, provenance, and reproducibility metadata.
• Add clean-install CI coverage for the setup command.
• Expand accessibility, keyboard navigation, and mobile-layout testing.
• Document upgrade and database-backup workflows.

Later — ecosystem

• Evaluate a desktop package after command-line setup is consistently reliable.
• Create a versioned ComfyUI workflow library for common hardware profiles.
• Add a documented third-party engine/plugin discovery model.
• Explore encrypted local credential storage.
• Add optional authentication only for users deliberately operating PoseForge beyond a trusted single-user machine.

How priorities are chosen

Work is prioritized by:

1. Successful first generation within 15 minutes.
2. Privacy and security correctness.
3. Output quality and repeatability.
4. Frequency and impact of user-reported problems.
5. Maintenance cost and cross-platform support.
