Roadmap

Scope

This roadmap assumes Streamline is a single-user, self-hosted app that runs on a homeserver beside tools like Plex, Jellyfin, Radarr, and Sonarr.

Out of scope:

• SaaS concerns
• Multi-user profiles
• Team or enterprise administration

Shipped

These were on this roadmap and are now in the app:

• gunicorn behind a systemd unit (streamline-web.service)
• A Docker image (amd64 and arm64) and a Compose setup with mounted data, cache, and config
• Password protection (STREAMLINE_PASSWORD) and CSRF protection for all write actions
• /healthz and /status, reporting provider, models, cache counts, last profile build, IMDb refresh, and running jobs
• A note when the taste profile is out of date
• Result card actions: Save, Seen it, Not interested, and More like this / It was fine / Less like this
• Watchlist page and a searchable history of past recommendations
• Plex: plays and ratings arrive by webhook (nothing is written to Plex)
• On Deck: followed shows with new episodes ready, and a Coming soon list
• Home Assistant: read-only API and an iCal feed

Phase 1: Release Gate

These items should be finished before calling the app a solid homeserver release.

Deployment and runtime

• Keep the systemd unit as an optional deployment path, not the primary one

Safety and access control

• Support a documented reverse-proxy-auth mode for users who already protect apps at the proxy layer
• Keep localhost-first defaults

Background jobs and status

• Move setup, profile rebuild, and provider refresh work out of the request thread
• Add a job status view with current state, last run time, duration, and error output

Reliability

• Stop swallowing ingestion errors silently
• Surface source-specific failures in the UI
• Remove shared mutable request state from the web app
• Make usage tracking request-local instead of process-global
• Fix startup checks so the web runner only requires keys for the configured provider

Operations

• Add last import time and last failure to /status
• Expose version/build information in the UI

Phase 2: Strong v1.0 Features

These features make the app materially more useful for daily homeserver use.

Feedback loop

• Let users review and undo recent feedback from the web UI

Recommendation workflow

• Show clear result states:
  • in your library
  • available on your streaming services
  • available elsewhere
  • not currently available

Import and data quality

• Add an import health dashboard with last sync time, item counts, unmatched titles, and override count
• Add a web UI for reviewing unmatched titles and editing overrides without hand-editing JSON
• Add scheduled refresh jobs for metadata, provider availability, and taste profile rebuilds

Library workflow

• Add a local “add to library” queue even before external integrations land
• Add library gap analysis for titles that strongly fit the profile but are missing from the library

Phase 3: Ecosystem Integrations

These integrations are the highest-value expansion path for a homeserver audience.

Media servers

• Jellyfin import and watch-state sync
• Emby import and watch-state sync

Download and request tools

• Radarr handoff for movie recommendations
• Sonarr handoff for series recommendations
• Overseerr or Jellyseerr handoff for users who prefer a request workflow

Metadata bridges

• Trakt import for users with existing watch history outside local media servers

Follow-up automation

• Track saved titles and surface them when they become available in the local library
• Track saved titles and surface them when they become available on configured streaming services

Priority Order

1. Deployment and runtime hardening
2. Background jobs and status visibility
3. Library-aware recommendation states
4. Jellyfin import
5. Radarr and Sonarr handoff
