Check Back After Sabbatical

Check Back After Sabbatical: What Comes Next

As this intentional period of research and prototyping nears its conclusion, our roadmap for the second half of 2026 is crystallizing around focused, high-impact utilities and engineering write-ups.

Upcoming Engineering Focus Areas

Our upcoming product releases and research publications will center on three core domains:

• Privacy-First Reading Ecosystems: Expanding our Send to Play Books open-source extension to support additional e-reader formats, automated EPUB optimization, and offline parsing pipelines.
• Decentralized Collaborative Tools: Refining serverless P2P state synchronization patterns for board games, scorekeepers, and local utility apps using lightweight edge relays and WebRTC.
• Local Enterprise AI Workflows: Practical methodologies for deploying open-weight models (such as Gemma and Llama) locally for secure document synthesis, semantic indexing, and automated data validation without cloud API lock-in.

We look forward to sharing detailed architectural retrospectives, benchmark analyses, and open-source code repositories as these initiatives roll out.
