[META]: Feature Roadmap

[alexander-alvarez]

I think we've done a good job of making ember-light-table feature rich and extensible.
Opening this issue to create an open area for discussion around where we see ELT going and to give transparency to the community as to what they can expect in some sort of future.

Large Features Under Pseudo-active Development

• Modular behaviors + Keyboard support Modular behaviors + Keyboard support + Move scrollable zone outside #347
• Integrate vertical collection for rendering performance. Work being done here for Occlusion Rendering #435

Roadmap

• Proper Horizontal Scroll Horizontal Scroll + Ember-Scrollable #284
• Freezing/Fixed columns (after vertical collection is implemented) (like the sticky columns in Sticky / fixed / frozen rows (and columns) #434)
  • Sticky rows Sticky / fixed / frozen rows (and columns) #434
• "Out of the box" column and cell types
  • I'd like to see the community pool together their best / most common cell and column patterns and share these with each other so we have an out of the box set, and if the need arises plugin-packs for different columns/cell combos
• ... <your ideas here>

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Freezing columns

Can you elaborate a bit, what you mean by that? :)

After integrating vertical-collection, proper support for horizontal scrolling (#284) seems like a good next big goal.

Following that, I'd be interested in exploring sticky rows and columns (#434).

Modular behaviors + Keyboard support #347
Integrate vertical collection for rendering performance. Work being done here

I think bringing these two should be the MVP for a 2.0 release along with some general refactoring.

Freezing columns (after vertical collection is implemented)

This should be implemented after the first two as it is solely dependent on how we render the rest of the table.

"Out of the box" column and cell types

These would be good but maybe we can do it in a 3rd party addon? That way others can easily contribute and it will also be forced to use the public API.

Yup we're all talking & thinking about the same things. I updated the OP

✔️ First would be figuring out what all is out there, and then organizing them into addons.
