Roadmap
This page describes the road map I envisions for the next months.
Version: December 2024

We find that it needs regular repeating that Hedy is a platform for teachers to teach programming with. This is really different from a system in which individual kids learn programming alone or with the help of a parent or one coach in a club.
At this point in time, learner facing features (like content, error messages, debugging features) are well developed. While they can certainly always be improved, as code team, we try to not spend too much time there.
In our 2023 yearly plan meeting, we have decided to put our main focus on Teacher Happiness features, meaning additions or improvements that will help teachers teach, since teachers are our main "customers". Therefore, we want to make sure they feel at home in the platform, with a great UI, clear teacher facing documentation and features that they care about.
Currently, there is a lot to be desired in the teachers UX, fixing those should be our number one priority, see Prio Queue
We have a total overload of features that are often in tension or even in contrast with each other. A lot of features were added haphazardly and/or by students and should be removed or disabled, see To be deleted.
Features I'd love to remove are:
- Parsons Problems
- Developer Mode (incl.
- Spiekbriefje
On the maybe list
- Quiz (We should check how often it is used first)
Once we have the above in order (and not earlier!) we should start to think about how to make the language more exciting with the if presses, games/apps, music and ultimately a better turtle with sprites and animations.
In addition to the directions above, we always have a number of larger open projects that we are not going to pick up immediately, but that we are somewhat excited about, you can find these under Large Project Plans and Ideas . If you are excited about picking one of these up, let us know on Discord first!
