# Roadmap
This page lists planned features for the Typst language, compiler, library and
web app. Since priorities and development realities change, this roadmap is not
set in stone. Features that are listed here will not necessarily be implemented
and features that will be implemented might be missing here. As for bug fixes,
this roadmap will only list larger, more fundamental ones.

Are you missing something on the roadmap? Typst relies on your feedback as a
user to plan for and prioritize new features. Get started by filing a new issue
on [GitHub](https://github.com/typst/typst/issues) or discuss your feature
request with the [community].
