Road map

We have a road map of what we are going to implement next. It is available at our projects page

https://github.com/gitshowcase/gitshowcase/projects

If you wish to add features that are not on the road map, you're very welcome to do so. We encourage you to create an Issue before coding, so we can all discuss the relevance to the community.

Please keep in mind that the focus is to create a great product, so we might not implement/accept all the suggested features.
