OmniTrackr Roadmap
What shipped recently, what is being worked on now, and what might come next.
Recently shipped
Most recent work has gone into the public side of the site, the part you can read without an account. You can now read guides, compare OmniTrackr with other trackers, try a sample library, see how privacy works, and browse reviews that members chose to publish. The signed-in tracker works the way it did before.
Public guide library
There are guides for tracking movies, TV, anime, games, music, and books, plus statistics, exports, templates, and reviews.
Automated review quality and safety
One set of checks decides whether a review is shown in the community list and in search. Reports can hide a specific version of a review for a while, and the review itself is never deleted.
Automated collection discovery
The editor, the gallery, and search all use the same check to decide whether a published collection is ready. If a report hides a collection, editing it runs the check again.
Ad and privacy transparency
The advertising and privacy pages say where ads can appear, how Google ads use cookies, and why there are no ads inside your account.
Security and SEO cleanup
A stricter content security policy, no more unsafe inline scripts, better page metadata, and the API docs kept out of search results.
First-session numbers
The moderator view shows site-wide counts of how many new accounts save a first title. None of this tracking runs in your private dashboard.
Welcome Back Deck
If you come back after a while away, the dashboard shows one card you can dismiss, with your Next Up list, unfinished titles, and recent journal entries.
Now
Right now the work is about making the first visit go smoothly without changing anything existing members rely on.
- Watch how many new accounts get from sign-up to a first title, then to five titles, then to a second visit.
- Fix the save and import steps where a lot of people give up.
- Make sure the account, privacy, export, and advertising pages describe what the site actually does.
- Keep ads on public guide pages only, never in the tracking dashboard.
The guides are being expanded too. Each public page should answer a question someone actually has about tracking or about what to watch, play, or read, whether or not they ever register.
Next
The Welcome Back Deck reuses cards the dashboard already had. What comes next depends partly on how many people use it, counted anonymously.
- Improve the import templates and the first-visit checklist where new members get stuck.
- Add trends, rating coverage, and backlog progress to statistics, and make categories easier to compare.
- Check how many reviews and collections pass the quality checks, and how reports are working, before showing more of them publicly or adding ad space.
Later
Longer-term ideas are about remembering why you added something and why you liked it, and keeping your data easy to take with you.
- More flexible recommendation notes, including who recommended an item and why it was added.
- More public profile settings for people who want to share some lists and not others.
- Optional extra fields for custom tabs, still included in exports and still private by default.
- More ways to summarize a year of watching, reading, playing, and listening across all categories.
Stability and release guardrails
People already keep years of history here, so updates add to what exists and leave it alone otherwise. They should not require destructive migrations, reset settings, remove saved entries, or make a private review public.
Recent verification covers account flows, authentication, CRUD endpoints for each media category, import/export, friend and privacy behavior, statistics, public reviews, SEO routes, static security checks, and the content security policy. Every release runs these tests before it goes live.
How roadmap items are chosen
Each idea gets two questions: will it make everyday tracking easier, and can it ship without putting anyone's data at risk? A big feature that complicates privacy or exports loses to a small one that works on day one.
New guides follow the same rule. A guide should answer a real question, link to related pages, and be worth reading for someone who never creates an account.
For now that means better reviews, better public examples, plainer privacy and advertising pages, and tests that catch anything that would break the tracker.
Why publish this?
If you're deciding whether to trust a new tracker with your history, ratings, and private notes, it helps to see what it is working on.
This is not a promise that every idea will ship in exactly this order. Plans change when something turns out to be harder, or less wanted, than expected.
