Roadmap

Where Yappa goes next.

Yappa is being built in clear phases so the platform grows from a strong foundation into a full community ecosystem, while still staying true to the self-hosted, open-source vision.

  • Stable text chat
  • Self-hosted nodes
  • Basic encrypted chat
  • Voice chat
  • Video functionality

Phase 02

Rich Presence, Polish, and Control

Start making Yappa feel more alive, more polished, and better equipped for real communities and server owners.

  • Rich presence integration
  • UI polish and visual refinement
  • Sound effects and better feedback throughout the client
  • Better user controls and server controls
  • Permissions improvements
  • Basic UI improvements across the platform

Phase 03

Community Expansion and Ecosystem Features

Push Yappa beyond a chat client and turn it into a deeper platform for communities, events, and connected tools.

  • Events features
  • Smoother UI with minimal lag
  • More functionality for connecting Yappa to other apps

  • Accessible hosting for communities of any size
  • Wider adoption regardless of hardware or hosting ability
