TODO: make a roadmap 😂

Editor UI: Library

  • Organise songs with a built-in database

  • Search by title, type, content, tags

Save time with smart templates

  • Quickly build weekly services based on templates that follow your liturgy

  • Templated slide designs and layouts

Collaborate using cloud media

  • Link media from cloud storage

  • Smart media folders (sync directly from Google Drive/OneDrive - delay loading files, images etc until downloaded onto disk)

  • Import Canva (initial research - not really possible atm)

Bible text lookup & display

  • fetch.bible

  • Automatic or easy? pagination/reflow to break up long passages across multiple slides

    • Waiting for Avalonia 11.0 flexible text formatting to drop

Clocks & Countdowns

  • Always fun for events

  • And count-up/down timers for stage displays

Stage display messages

  • "The preacher should really wrap up by now, the parents will be waiting" 😂

Dark theme

Custom slide resolutions

  • Other than 1920x1080

  • Upscale background images to fit

Improved slide designer

  • Slide design customisations: borders, fonts, alignments, colours, backgrounds, gradients...

Other wild ideas!

  • Web remote

    • Make quick lyric stanza and arrangement edits from an iPad ?
  • Import runsheets from Elvanto/OPC

  • Audio recorder... over network

  • MIDI triggers

  • Section/playlist/runsheet notes

  • LTSC / LTC timecode trigger in

  • Custom action triggers (websockets, http, ...)

    • e.g. trigger OBS Scene changes per slide item type: songs, videos, slides
  • Build for macOS and Linux?

  • Undo functionality

  • Workflows for editing content during live shows. Insert event graphics into slide sets on-the-fly.

  • Shuffle / reset to natural sorting (by filename) for order of photo slideshows

  • Hotkeys! and to jump to Verse 1, Chorus etc.

  • Multilingual lyrics support

  • Alternative lower thirds method - websockets + HTML to OBS

  • Zoom in and crop on images which weren't designed with big fonts

  • Load item from folder of images using natural name sort order

  • Debug tools to troubleshoot why software is slow/laggy/freezing

  • On-off edits and imported content for the current session only (which won't save into the content library for future use)

  • Re-scan for display (screen) and audio device changes without restarting app

  • Export songs as PPTX (since we already have the code to import!), great for emergency scenarios (don't ask 😁😅😥😥)

    • Export entire "slide deck" as PDF
  • Research is there is a legal and easy way to add video clips from YouTube links. Embedded CEF web browser for YouTube embed snippet?

    • Plugin system
  • Windows: investigate Presentation Mode integration to prevent screensaver (or pivinvoke sleep inhibitor?), but also don't want burning laptops in backpacks...

  • OneDrive --> PowerPoint slides sync?

  • Presentation Clicker interceptor, so you can continue doing stuff on the PC and not interrupt the speaker from using the clicker to navigate slides forwards. "Satellite Streamdeck connector for Companion"-style??

  • Tray icon to bring back main window to primary monitor?

  • External/Embedded Fonts

  • QR Code generator

  • Broadcast slides to phone via cloud

  • Non-linear song mode for semi-adhoc sessions outside of a setlist

  • https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-zoom-for-powerpoint-to-bring-your-presentation-to-life-9d6c58cd-2125-4d29-86b1-0097c7dc47d7#ID0EFH

  • Overlay layer to display or flash announcement text / Q&A phone numbers or links

  • Export individual slide(s) as PNG

  • Set "event graphic / logo" at playlist level, and set it from a slide (WIP)

  • Having multiple different event graphics / logos, e.g. for different sections

  • Respect hidden slides from imported GoogleSlides/PowerPoint

  • Insert temporary slides between song stanzas - such as bible verses during song interludes - at the request of the song leader. But don't mess up the saved copy of song data in the "library".
