| 1 | +# Roadmap |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Feature backlog for the widget layer this fork adds on top of |
| 4 | +[illogical-impulse](https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland). Derived from a survey of prior art |
| 5 | +across Quickshell/AGS/eww rices, macOS power tools (Raycast, Sketchybar, Übersicht), Windows |
| 6 | +PowerToys, and KDE/GNOME, then filtered to what the `ii` config here does **not** already have. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Each item is sized against the "done" checklist in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md): an enable |
| 9 | +flag in `Config.qml`, gating on `Config.ready && enable`, a **Settings → Custom** entry, and any |
| 10 | +shelled-out tool recorded in `setup/dependencies.txt`. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Status legend: `[ ]` queued, `[~]` in progress, `[x]` shipped. |
| 13 | + |

| 25 | + |
| 26 | +--- |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## 1. Command palette + Quicklinks `[ ]` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +One `Super+Alt+Space` fuzzy surface over apps, files, open windows, emoji, a calculator, the |
| 31 | +clipboard, and user-defined commands. The single strongest gap: this config has separate launchers |
| 32 | +(`serviceLauncher`, `reconLauncher`, homelab glance) but no unified `>`-prefixed palette. The |
| 33 | +**Quicklinks** layer is the multiplier: one entry type targeting a URL, file, app deeplink, or |
| 34 | +parameterized search, with `{argument}`, `{clipboard}`, date, and calc-result placeholders |
| 35 | +substituted at run time (e.g. `gitea repo {argument}`, `recon target {clipboard}`). |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- **Module**: `modules/ii/commandPalette/` + `services/CommandPalette.qml`. A search-filtered |
| 38 | + `ListView` with a pluggable provider list, each provider a `Process`/`StdioCollector`. Reuse the |
| 39 | + existing overview/launcher fuzzy list rather than reimplementing. |
| 40 | +- **Providers**: apps (desktop entries), files (`fd`), windows (`hyprctl clients -j`), calc |
| 41 | + (`qalc`, already present), clipboard (feature 2), quicklinks (user config). |
| 42 | +- **Interim**: shell out to `fuzzel`/`walker`/`rofi` 2.0 to get the workflow before the native core |
| 43 | + lands, then swap the backend. |
| 44 | +- **Deps**: `fd`, `libqalculate` (qalc). `wl-clipboard` shared with feature 2. |
| 45 | +- **Prior art**: DankMaterialShell (Quickshell, ships exactly this), PowerToys Command Palette, |
| 46 | + Raycast Quicklinks + dynamic placeholders. |
| 47 | +- **Effort**: medium-high core, then each provider is incremental. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +## 2. Clipboard history + snippets `[ ]` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Scrollable clipboard history with text and image-thumbnail previews, plus pinned snippets. Front-end |
| 52 | +over `cliphist`, which is picker-agnostic by design |
| 53 | +(`cliphist list | <picker> | cliphist decode | wl-copy`), so the Quickshell UI replaces the picker. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +- **Module**: `modules/ii/clipboard/` + `services/Clipboard.qml`. A `wl-paste --watch cliphist store` |
| 56 | + service feeds the history; the module shells `cliphist list`/`decode` and renders entries. Pinned |
| 57 | + snippets live in `config.json`. |
| 58 | +- **Stretch**: transform-on-paste (plain text / Markdown / JSON), the PowerToys "Advanced Paste" |
| 59 | + pattern. |
| 60 | +- **Deps**: `cliphist`, `wl-clipboard`. |
| 61 | +- **Prior art**: sentriz/cliphist, DankMaterialShell clipboard (image previews in Quickshell), |
| 62 | + PowerToys Advanced Paste. |
| 63 | +- **Effort**: medium. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## 3. PR/issue quick-action board `[ ]` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +A `gh-dash`-style board: per-repo PR/issue sections from `config.json`, with key-bound actions |
| 68 | +(diff, comment, checkout, open, approve). Complements `giteaActivity`, which surfaces activity but |
| 69 | +does not act. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- **Module**: `modules/ii/prBoard/` + `services/PrBoard.qml`. `Process` runs `gh pr list --json ...` |
| 72 | + per configured GitHub repo and `tea` (or the Gitea API) for Gitea; render a list, bind keys to the |
| 73 | + CLI subcommands. |
| 74 | +- **Deps**: `gh` (present), `tea` (Gitea CLI), `jq`. |
| 75 | +- **Prior art**: dlvhdr/gh-dash (per-repo YAML sections, custom workflow actions). |
| 76 | +- **Effort**: medium. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## 4. Eye-care break overlay `[ ]` |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Tiered break reminders: a 20s micro-break every ~10 min and a longer 5 min break every ~30 min, or |
| 81 | +the 20-20-20 full-screen countdown. Lowest-effort item and a good warm-up. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- **Module**: `services/BreakReminder.qml` + a layer-shell overlay window. A `Timer` drives the |
| 84 | + schedule; the overlay shows a countdown. Suppress during `gameMode`/fullscreen and reuse the |
| 85 | + `idleInhibitor` signal so it never fires mid-presentation. `Super+Alt+B` snoozes. |
| 86 | +- **Deps**: none (native Timer + layer-shell). |
| 87 | +- **Prior art**: hovancik/stretchly (tiered schedule), nomandhoni-cs/blink-eye (20-20-20 overlay). |
| 88 | +- **Effort**: low. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +## 5. Secrets surfacing (pass/sops) `[ ]` |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Greenfield: the research found no off-the-shelf prior art, but it fits the NixOS `sops-nix` setup. |
| 93 | +A palette provider (and/or its own dialog) that lists entries from `pass` or a `sops` file, decrypts |
| 94 | +one into the clipboard on select, and **auto-clears after a timeout**. Security-sensitive, so gate |
| 95 | +behind explicit opt-in and never log values. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +- **Module**: provider inside feature 1, or `modules/ii/secrets/` + `services/Secrets.qml`. Shells |
| 98 | + `pass show <name>` / `sops -d`, pipes to `wl-copy`, arms a `Timer` to `wl-copy --clear`. |
| 99 | +- **Deps**: `pass` or `sops` + `age` (sops/age already in the NixOS config), `wl-clipboard`. |
| 100 | +- **Notes**: keep names out of committed files; this reads from the untracked store only. |
| 101 | +- **Effort**: medium. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## 6. Bar popups + inline graphs `[ ]` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +Generalize `sensorSparkline` into a reusable pattern: bar items that show a glanceable value and |
| 106 | +expand into a small popup with a live graph (network throughput, NAS I/O, HA quick scenes). The |
| 107 | +Sketchybar model, where any element changes from a script event. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +- **Module**: a shared `BarPopup` + `Sparkline` component (`Canvas`/`ShapePath`) fed by a |
| 110 | + `Process` data model; add popup expansions on existing bar delegates. |
| 111 | +- **Deps**: none extra. |
| 112 | +- **Prior art**: FelixKratz/SketchyBar (event-driven elements, arbitrary graphs, on-demand popups). |
| 113 | +- **Effort**: low-medium per widget. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +## 7. Recon MCP backend for reconLauncher `[ ]` (optional) |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Enhance the existing owner-allowlisted `reconLauncher` to query an authorization-gated MCP server |
| 118 | +(`cybersec-toolkit`: 580+ tool registry, `check_installed`, `suggest_for_ctf`, gated |
| 119 | +`run_tool`/`run_pipeline` with allowlist + sanitization + rate limits). |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +- **Caveat**: it speaks JSON-RPC over stdio, not a plain CLI, so wrap/invoke the server rather than |
| 122 | + shelling out. Open question whether this beats calling the underlying tools directly, given the |
| 123 | + launcher already exists. Evaluate before committing. |
| 124 | +- **Deps**: the MCP server (python/uv), kept behind the existing allowlist gate. |
| 125 | +- **Prior art**: 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. |
| 126 | +- **Effort**: medium. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +--- |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +## Notes |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +- **Quickshell version**: this config is pinned to a 0.2.1-era rev. Quickshell is pre-1.0, so verify |
| 133 | + `Process`/`StdioCollector` signal names and `Services.*` type APIs against the installed build |
| 134 | + before coding (the survey cited v0.2.1/v0.3.0 docs). |
| 135 | +- **Substrate**: every item above is `Process`/`StdioCollector` plus, where useful, native DBus |
| 136 | + service bindings (MPRIS, StatusNotifier, Notifications, UPower, PipeWire, PAM). No external glue. |
| 137 | +- **Refuted lead**: claims that the sh1zicus `ii` fork ships a Timer Manager and native |
| 138 | + ChatGPT/Gemini sidebar did not survive verification. Not prior art for those. |
