Roadmap

What's shipped, what's next

JustJSON is built in the open. Here's the state of things and every release so far — and, like the rest of this site, it's a JustJSON project you can read in the repo.

Shipped 6
  • Visual schema builder

    Define collections and fields by clicking — no config file to hand-write.

  • Astro content collections

    One-line loader turns your content into typed Astro collections.

  • One-click site + deploy

    Generate an Astro site from your content and hand it to Vercel or Netlify.

  • Design + live preview

    Palette, accent, font and spacing with a live preview of the generated site.

  • Validate in CI

    justjson validate gates a deploy on broken relations, duplicate slugs and type errors.

  • Try in the browser

    A StackBlitz playground boots the editor with no install.

In progress 1
  • Docs & roadmap

    Searchable docs and this page — both built as a JustJSON project, of course.

Planned 4
  • First-class Next.js integration

    A dedicated example and loader for Next, alongside the generic typed content.ts.

  • Multilingual content

    Locale variants of entries — manage the same content in several languages.

  • More field types

    MDX / component blocks, slug-from-title, repeatable groups, conditional fields.

  • Editor accessibility pass

    A full keyboard, contrast and labelling review of the editor.

Exploring 1
  • JustJSON Cloud (for teams)

    An optional hosted mode with auth and automatic commit/push — for people who never want to touch a terminal. Only if there is real demand, and never at the cost of the local-first core.
