Roadmap

What we’ve built. What’s next.

We build in the open. Here’s the system as it stands today, what’s queued up, and what we’re still researching. If you want something not on this list, tell us.

Live now

Already in production. Use it today.

  • Database + CMS schemas + bridge layer
    Platform
    Shipped

    Live Postgres on Neon, 8 tables, full Sanity content model (industry, page, article, testimonial, faq, sections). Bridge layer joins Postgres state with Sanity content via a single React.cache call.

  • Real DB-backed public directory
    Customer
    Shipped

    /i/[industry] reads live Postgres + Sanity. Industry hero, listings grid, real Google Maps, listing detail pages with JSON-LD LocalBusiness schema, dynamic lead form built from Sanity-defined fields.

  • Sign-in + member portal + admin console
    For pros
    Shipped

    Email magic-link sign-in via Resend. Pros log in to their portal to see + edit their listings. Admins log in to /admin to approve listings, manage industries, view leads.

  • Lead-delivery emails
    For pros
    Shipped

    When a customer submits a lead, the matching pro gets the lead in their inbox immediately. Directory-level leads route to platform admin.

  • Project scaffold + deploy pipeline
    Platform
    Shipped

    Next.js 16 + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui base, deployed on Vercel with GitHub-driven auto-deploys.

  • Visual demo + Sanity Studio at /studio
    Customer
    Shipped

    First reviewable directory demo with mock data, real Google Maps with pinned listings, faked-async lead form. Sanity Studio embedded for content authoring.

Shipping next

Being built right now or queued up to start soon.

  • Customer reviews + 5-star ratings
    Trust

    Customers leave reviews after a job. Ratings show on listings + drive sort order. Reviews are the moat — pros can't take them with them.

  • Verified-pro badge + license check
    Trust

    Pros must verify their state license + provide proof of insurance to list. Customers see a verified badge on listings that pass.

  • Pro subscription + Stripe checkout
    For pros

    Free leads for the first 30 days, then a flat monthly subscription per listing. Final pricing locks in after the founder cohort closes — see /for-pros/pricing for current beta tiers.

On the wishlist

On the list, not yet scheduled.

  • Lead inbox + follow-up automation
    For pros

    A real inbox view of leads with read/unread, status, and one-click follow-up templates. Pros run their pipeline inside the platform instead of in Excel.

  • Booking calendar + appointment scheduling
    For pros

    Pros set their availability; customers book directly from the listing detail page. Sync to Google/Outlook calendar.

  • Invoicing + Stripe Connect
    For pros

    Pros send invoices through the platform. Customers pay with card. Platform takes a small fee + handles 1099 reporting at year-end.

  • Refund + replacement guarantee
    Trust

    If a vetted pro doesn't deliver, the platform refunds + finds you another pro. Per-job cap to be set once we have insurance backing — funded by a small per-lead fee in the meantime.

  • Custom domains per vertical
    Platform

    Run multiple verticalized domains (e.g. tradeA-near-me.com + tradeB-pros.com + tradeC-experts.com) from one codebase, one DB, one admin. Industry stays data, not code.

  • Agency tier — spin up a vertical in days
    Growth

    Marketing agencies hand us a niche; we hand them a fully-branded directory + lead-gen platform. Recurring revenue, no code.

We're exploring

Researching. May or may not happen.

  • AI-assisted lead qualification
    Trust

    Detect spam, tire-kickers, and high-intent leads automatically. Help pros focus on the leads most likely to close.

  • Insurance partnership for refund pool
    Trust

    Partner with a home-services insurer to underwrite the refund guarantee, so we don't carry the loss on every claim.
