Hey all - Here’s the updated roadmap. See my full update message [here](http://forums.learnnatively.com/t/big-picture-natively-upcoming-features-2023-2024/4489/81): > **Last years roadmap** > > - Add Video Games & Visual Novel > - Web Novel / Web Comic > - improved Book & Series pages (includes [lists feature](http://forums.learnnatively.com/t/show-what-lists-a-book-video-belongs-to/) and [publisher date](http://forums.learnnatively.com/t/record-scrape-and-display-dates-of-books/1561/)) > - [Crosslinking between different media forms of the same title/property](http://forums.learnnatively.com/t/crosslinking-between-different-media-forms-of-the-same-title-property/3021/) > - Book Club Support > - Book Edition Handling > - Rereads / Rewatch > - Recommendations & Premium > - Notifications System (??) Roadmap (2025 Feb & March) - Let’s get Natively sustainable! - Create posting on forum & site for open developer/partner position at Natively - Go through all my incoming data requests and automate everything that I can - For anything not automatable, develop admin flows for editing - Develop a community-librarian role for users that will take over the non automatable process flows (right now handled by a freelancer that’s been off and on the last month) ---

What is the premium version going to do? It’s not going to paywall features that we already get now for free, right? ---

Nope, nothing as you see on the site currently. My thinking is something similar along the lines of [storygraph plus](https://app.thestorygraph.com/plus) which is mostly advanced stats & improved / unlimited content recommendations. I also imagine I could incorporate some notifications as well - bookmeter sales, new manga volume releases… etc. But yeah, I think the best place where premium plays is in recommendations if that makes sense. ---

> [@brandon](#): > > My thinking is something similar along the lines of [storygraph plus](https://app.thestorygraph.com/plus) which is mostly advanced stats & improved / unlimited content recommendations. It looks like they have stuff in there that look like the “affinity” calculation (to get recommended books/people to follow) I suggested way back. Are you thinking to include it in there or is it too much development effort? ---

That’s definitely one of the features in my mind as I think it’s pretty easy to implement. But, not entirely sure… that feature set is pretty uncertain right now. ---

Spanish is simply because it’s massive, German because my brother wants german. In general, I think romance languages will be the next few added. ---

Thank you for your hard work! As an aspiring polyglot I can’t wait to see Natively covering more languages, specially German! All the other features will make this platform more dynamic(likes & notification & bookclubs & …) for sure. ---

Yes. I will try to keep making some progress on the little requests at all times, especially the more critical ones. I find it’s just good to have a big picture roadmap too 🙂 ---

I will for sure nose around the German section. Always fun to see what learners get up to. They get hung up on the oddest stuff (seen from a native POV). 👀 ---

Big plans! I’m really excited to see Natively continue to grow, it’s been an amazing resource for me. Really interested in seeing what you decide to do for premium, are you planning a “lifetime” subscription option as well as monthly? ---

Both good points! Plus a notification (instead of an email, or configurable) for when a book you requested gets added would be nice. ---

Probably - I’m certainly not opposed to it. Haven’t really specced it out fully, but I’ll keep that lifetime option in mind! 🙂 > [@seanblue](#): > > What exactly do you plan to notify on considering likes won’t be implemented at this point? So everything that has been mentioned. Additionally, book club notifications will be a major one too. If we move book club procedural stuff on platform (nominations, voting, schedules…etc) it’d be really nice to get notifications for that stuff too. I’d also think that once we get enough book clubs, we could notify you if a book club is reading something on your wish list / owned list… etc. Basically, there’s a ton of notifications I’d love to do and it’ll only grow in functionality. Getting an initial version out, with all the associated notification preference management, would be really nice. ---
