Development Roadmap

This plugin is still in early development. All versions below 1.0.0 are considered unstable.

• Version 1.0.0
  • Improve error handling, make critical features more robust (what happens if database file is deleted while running, ...)
  • Logging for critical features (DB connection) to make error reporting easier for users
  • Comprehensive usage guide (also as YouTube video?)
  • Code fully documented
  • Demo video (must be hosted on YouTube)
• Feature ideas
  • Write meaningful tests (Unit tests, UI tests, ...?)
  • Welcome Dialog / First Run Wizard
  • Notifications (e.g. "Database successfully deleted", "1 million actions reached" etc.)
  • Configurable Action ignore list (currently, the IdeaVim compatibility mode ignoes the "Shortcuts" action - why not let the user create an ignore list?)
  • Database storage
    • Store actions database in plugin settings instead of file, so that it works with settings sync (allowed maximum size?)
    • Encrypted database file (configurable via settings)
  • IDE status bar widget that shows the current APM (or other statistics)
  • IDE progress bar that shows the idle timeout
  • Persistent state component for customizable toolwindow layout
  • Scroll Listeners, and "How many meters scrolled" statistic
