Welcome to NearBeach's 2025 Roadmap.

It can be hard for a programmer to communicate just how long a particular task will take. No one can know exact numbers, but can only approximate. Story points are a great communication tool, to notify the project manager approximately how long any given task or project will take. A more complicated project or task will have a higher story point, as apposed to something simple that will usually only take a few minutes to do.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the toughest privacy and security law in the world. Though it was drafted and passed by the European Union (EU), it imposes obligations onto organizations anywhere, so long as they target or collect data related to people in the EU. The regulation was put into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR will levy harsh fines against those who violate its privacy and security standards, with penalties reaching into the tens of millions of euros.
User privacy is really important to us and many of our customers. We would like to extend that thought into NearBeach by implementing a new GDPR Wizard. The wizard will scan the database for any objects and records and either remove the records, or remove the identifying information (usually by replacing with scrambled random text).
Being able to connect multiple systems to NearBeach to leverage their data is a very useful. For example if we were able to connect a user's GitHub account, NearBeach would be able to link any task/project to an issue brought up on GitHub. To achieve this task, we will need to first implement OAuth and other similar features into NearBeach. Then we will be able to implement more functionality from there.
At NearBeach we want users to be as secure as possible. We are always trying to improve our self when it comes to security. Implementing two-factor-authentication (2FA) is an easy way to help secure an account. 2FA is a secondary authentication, usually used via an authentication app.
Opening up NearBeach to external applications will grant users many useful tools. For example someone might create a time keeping application that will work with NearBeach. To get something like this working, we'll need to create an API system. API is short for Application Programming Interface, and it is how different programs communicate with each other. They will send a request, and if granted, the server will respond with data.
Some of the general improvements we are looking forward to implementing are;
