OpenFamily — Roadmap

This document tracks larger ideas that are not yet implemented, and records decisions about features that were considered. It is not a commitment or a schedule: priorities can shift based on feedback — issues and discussions are welcome.

Shipped

  • Family command center / kiosk display (v1.1, expanded in v1.2) — full-screen view for a wall tablet (fridge / hallway): today's shared calendar, meals, tasks, who's where. v1.2 added weather (Open-Meteo), an optional Immich photo background, a shopping panel and touch interactions (tap to complete/check).
  • Kids mode with chores → allowance (v1.2) — points on tasks, parent approval flow, pocket-money page (balances, streaks, adjust/redeem), savings goals with progress bars and a dedicated kid view.
  • Local-first AI assistant (v1.2, first slice) — provider abstraction (Ollama / OpenAI-compatible / Anthropic, bring-your-own-key, keys encrypted at rest): natural-language input (Ctrl+K) that turns a sentence into tasks, appointments, shopping items or budget entries, and automatic weekly dinner suggestions from the recipe library.
  • Recipe import from URL (v1.2) — paste a link, the server parses the schema.org/Recipe JSON-LD and prefills the recipe form.
  • Recipes → shopping list (v1.2) — aggregate the displayed week's ingredients into the shopping list, with deduplication and review before adding.
  • Family sticky notes (v1.2) — digital fridge notes with colors and expiry, shown on the Dashboard and the Kiosk in realtime.

Under consideration

  • More languages — the interface is currently English/French. The i18n infrastructure is in place (namespaced JSON locales); the goal is to add German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and more, ideally through a community translation workflow (e.g. Weblate). Contributions welcome.
  • Two-way Google Calendar / CalDAV sync (today: Nextcloud import + iCal export only). CalDAV two-way first (covers Nextcloud, iCloud, Fastmail), Google later (OAuth verification burden).
  • Self-hosted family location — private location sharing via OwnTracks / Traccar / Home Assistant device_tracker, plus geo-reminders ("you're near the supermarket, 5 items on the list"). Would replace the static planning on the Kiosk "who's where".
  • AI assistant, next slices — receipt photo → budget entries and dish photo → recipe (needs a vision-capable model), streaming responses, per-member rate limits.
  • Barcode scanning & native pantry — camera (PWA) + OpenFoodFacts for shopping and pantry; expiry dates with "use it up" recipe suggestions; connects to Grocy for those who have it, works standalone otherwise.
  • Offline mode — the PWA currently needs a network connection; the goal is read access to today's data (calendar, lists, meals) when offline, then queued writes with background sync.
  • Weekly family digest — an optional email or notification every Sunday evening summarizing the week ahead: appointments, chores, meals, budget status.
  • Scheduled backups — automatic, recurring export of the family data (JSON/SQL) to a local folder, S3-compatible storage or WebDAV, with retention.
  • Deeper Home Assistant integration — beyond the shopping-list sync: expose appointments and tasks as HA calendars/sensors so they can drive automations (e.g. light up when a chore is due).
  • Guest access — a temporary, limited account or share link for a babysitter or grandparents (today's schedule, emergency contacts), and public temporary shopping-list links for a partner without an account.

Pronote / EcoleDirecte (deferred — no official free API)

There is no official, free, public API for either service.

  • Pronote (Index Education): only unofficial, reverse-engineered libraries exist (pronotepy in Python, pawnote in JS). They rely on the ENT/CAS auth flow, can break whenever Pronote changes, and sit in a legal/ToS grey area (the vendor has historically been hostile to scraping). Precedent: the Home Assistant Pronote integration uses pronotepy.
  • EcoleDirecte: same situation — only an unofficial, community-maintained API.

Decision: not a pillar feature for now. If pursued later, it should be an optional, clearly-labelled "best-effort / unsupported" integration, server-side (credentials + scraping), most likely a small Python service built on pronotepy. The value would be real for French families but the maintenance burden and fragility are high compared to the items above.
