Roadmap

What SongForgeAI is building.

Three honest columns: shipped, building, next. Updated with every meaningful deploy.

Currently on Build 1041. Every item here ties to a public commit on GitHub.

Shipped in the last 90 days

  • Telemetry write-canary

    Build 1018

    Cron that alerts if forge_metrics gets zero rows while songs keep being created. Catches the class of silent-telemetry-failure that went unnoticed from Build 928 → 1013.

  • Admin consolidation (phase 2 — deletion)

    Build 1019

    Retired three experimental admin surfaces (intelligence, mining, crowd) that never matured past prototype. Lab hub now carries a single card.

  • Dashboard inline lyric editing

    Build 1017

    Click-to-rewrite now live on SongDetail. Same popover + rewrite intents as the forge result screen.

  • Integration tests for /api/v1/score

    Build 1012

    31 new tests covering sync + async + CAS-claim paths on the B2B API surface.

    API docs →

  • /[locale]/forge + /[locale]/pricing + /[locale]/refine

    Build 1009

    Localized landing pages for es + pt with hreflang metadata and full cross-locale nav. Deep-links to English product UX.

  • Strict-mode typecheck ratchet

    Build 1007

    CI now runs tsc --noUnusedLocals + --noUnusedParameters against an allowlist. Newly-authored code cannot land on the allowlist.

  • Forward-compat tier-id Stripe resolver

    Build 1008

    Canonical tier-name registry maps DB ids (starter/creator/pro) to preferred + legacy Stripe env vars. Eliminates the old SONGWRITER_PRICE_ID drift without a migration.

  • /metrics/quarterly + diagnostic error states

    Build 1006

    Public craft-metrics report; distinguishes infra error / empty table / below-floor so problems are triagable at a glance.

    View report →

  • OpenAPI 3.0 spec at /api/v1/openapi.json

    Build 988

    B2B API documented for programmatic consumption. ReDoc + Swagger Editor deep-links at /developer/api-reference.

    API reference →

  • /scoring/standard + whitepaper (v0.9)

    Build 940

    Published the 12-metric rubric under CC-BY-4.0. Whitepaper with Pattison + Stolpe citations and anti-inflation rules.

    Open standard →

Actively building

  • /about page + founder identity

    Ship the single biggest fixable trust gap. Schema.org Person + Organization. Last updated field.

  • Per-metric deep pages

    Twelve pages — one per scoring metric — so each can be linked, cited, and ranked in its own right.

    (preview: current aggregate) →

  • Guided first-forge onboarding

    Three-step overlay on first visit to /forge. Closes the biggest activation gap in the audit.

  • Craft-linters homepage section

    Named first-class promotion for the 5 linters (singability, banned clichés, prosody, fire-line, emotional arc) that currently sit below the fold or inside the forge page.

  • Author bylines on blog + E-E-A-T

    Person schema per post; author page per contributor. Currently posts render without byline attribution.

Next up

  • Real user testimonials

    Five named users with song links. Infrastructure (testimonials.ts with verified=true gate) shipped Build 970 but the registry is empty. Sprint: outreach + collection.

  • Weekly "your best song" email digest

    Retention signal currently absent. Template + worker + Resend integration.

  • Rewrite handleForge as state machine

    EXTRACT-1 has done 21 passes on the forge page. Monolith still 2,000+ lines. Next lever is architectural, not more slices.

  • "State of Lyric Scoring" annual report

    Compound link-bait asset built from existing /metrics/quarterly telemetry. First edition targets Q4.

  • Full product i18n (not just landing pages)

    Forge + dashboard + scoring in es + pt. Currently the landing pages localize but the product UX is English-only.

  • Suno + Udio partnership — "X-certified" badge

    Largest distribution lever given the scoring moat. Outreach-dependent; not on an internal timeline.

Under consideration

  • Mobile-first forge UX

    Current flow is responsive but desktop-first.

  • Songwriter-craft certification program

    Pass X metrics → get a badge. B2B-adjacent and community-building.

  • Cluster-pillar SEO reorganization

    33 songwriting guides regrouped into hub-and-spoke clusters. Current structure is flat.

Why this page exists

Most SaaS roadmaps are marketing artifacts — aspirational lists that never get updated. This one is the opposite. If something is on the shipped list, there is a commit behind it. If it moves between sections, the commit message says so.

A publicly-tracked roadmap is accountability, not a promise. If you want to lobby for something near the top of “Next up,” email me.
