CallBoard Roadmap

Our vision is to build the ultimate tool for theater crew management - by stagehands, for stagehands.

This roadmap shows what we're working on and what's coming next. Priorities may shift based on user feedback and real-world needs.

For developers: See docs/plans/PROJECT_ROADMAP.md for detailed technical implementation roadmap.

Now (Active Development - Pre-Public Beta)

We're working toward public beta launch with major infrastructure improvements that will make CallBoard faster, more reliable, and work offline.

Offline Support (PWA)

Use CallBoard anywhere - even backstage with terrible WiFi. Add calls, log expenses, and update your schedule offline. Changes sync automatically when you're back online. Install CallBoard on your phone like a native app.

Why this matters: Theater WiFi is notoriously unreliable. You shouldn't lose work because the venue's internet is spotty.

Real-Time Notifications

Get notified instantly when something needs your attention - call offers, schedule changes, reminders. Choose how you want to be notified: in-app, browser push notifications, email, or SMS. Set quiet hours so you're not bothered when you're sleeping.

Why this matters: Don't miss opportunities because you didn't check the app. Important updates come to you, on your terms.

Performance & Polish

Faster page loads, smoother animations, better mobile experience. We're rebuilding our frontend with modern tools to make CallBoard blazing fast. We're also introducing modal-based workflows for quick edits and interactions - with PWA caching, modals load instantly for a snappier experience.

Bug Fixes & Refinements

Actively testing with private beta users and fixing issues as they're discovered. Your feedback drives our priorities.

Next (Post-Public Beta)

Public Beta Launch

Opening CallBoard to a broader user base with offline support, real-time notifications, and polished user experience. This is when we start bringing in more stagehands and gathering feedback from diverse use cases.

Company Management System

The big one. Labor companies and production companies can create profiles, manage crew rosters, and offer calls directly to stagehands. This is the B2B SaaS feature that turns CallBoard into a revenue-generating platform while making life easier for production managers and stagehands alike.

Features include:
- Company profiles and rosters
- Direct call offers to specific crew
- Bulk offers to multiple crew
- Schedule management
- Automated notifications
- Integration with existing CallBoard tools

Later (Planned)

Calendar Integration

Sync your CallBoard schedule with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Two-way sync keeps your personal calendar up-to-date automatically.

Availability Sharing with Companies

Choose which connected companies can see your availability calendar. Makes it easier for production managers to know who's free before making offers.

Crew Recommendations & Referrals

Discover new crew through mutual connections. Trusted stagehands can refer others in their network to companies, growing everyone's opportunities while maintaining quality.

Direct Messaging

In-app communication between stagehands and production managers. Coordinate details, share updates, and ask questions without leaving CallBoard.

Native Mobile Apps

Native iOS and Android applications with all PWA features plus native OS integrations, better performance, and app store distribution.

Equipment Inventory Management

Track your personal gear, rental equipment, and tool inventory. Know what you own, what's out on loan, and what needs maintenance.

Tax Reporting & Export

Comprehensive year-end tax summaries with expense categorization. Export reports for accountants and integrate with popular tax software.

Time Tracking & Timesheets

Detailed time tracking for complex productions with multiple departments. Generate timesheets for payroll and track hours across long-running shows.

Beyond

We're always listening to feedback from our community. Have ideas for features that would make CallBoard better? Submit feedback through the app or reach out to us directly.

The road to 1.0: We'll reach version 1.0 when multiple labor companies are actively using CallBoard daily, company-specific features are battle-tested, and we're confident the platform is ready for broader market launch.
