Roadmap

This page tracks planned enhancements for future versions of Hyperclay Local alongside items from the original roadmap that have already shipped. For release-by-release details, see the Changelog.

Planned enhancements#

• HTTPS support: Local SSL certificates for serving folders over https://localhost.
• Custom ports: User-configurable port numbers in settings for any folder (currently the personal folder uses 4321 and team folders assign free ports automatically; see Folders and ports).
• Themes: Dark mode and custom themes for the app interface.
• Plugin system: Extending Hyperclay Local itself with app plugins (for in-document plugins today, see ClayJS plugins).
• Static browser tab auto-refresh: Reloading plain HTML pages in standalone browser tabs when edited in an external text editor without ClayJS live sync.

Shipped from the original roadmap#

Several features from earlier roadmap lists are now built into Hyperclay Local:

• Automatic app updates: Writable macOS, per-user Windows, and signed Linux AppImage installs download updates in the background and install them in place via Restart to update to v<version> (see Updates).
• Multiple simultaneous servers: Hyperclay Local serves your personal folder on port 4321 and each synced team folder on its own local server and port at the same time (see Folders and ports and Team folders).
• Port conflict recovery: When a team folder’s port is taken, you can switch it to the next free port from the folder’s card with Use port <n>… (see Folders and ports).
• File watching and live workspace updates: A file watcher and root observer stream folder changes into the workspace window, merge external disk and Data API writes into open live rooms, and sync changes with hyperclay.com (see Live updates between tabs).
