Backlog

These are ideas that are planned for specific versions or act as a backlog without a clear date. PRs are welcome! Please do open an issue to discuss first if it's a big feature, priorities may have changed after something was added here.

3.0.0

• Switch to ES Modules (ESM)
• @uppy/image-editor: Remove silly hack to work around non-ESM.
• Consider updating the name of @uppy/aws-s3 and @uppy/aws-s3-multipart to reflect it also supports Google Cloud Storage, Wasabi, and other cloud providers.
• Consider fixing all locale files to follow the bcp-47 standard (nl_NL --> nl-NL)

4.0.0

• core: change the preprocessing --> uploading flow to allow for files to start uploading right away after their preprocessing step has finished. See #1738 (@goto-but-stop)
• companion: add more reliable tests to catch edge cases in companion. For example testing that oauth works for multiple companion instances that use a master Oauth domain.

Unplanned

Core

• Make sure Uppy works well in VR
• normalize file names when uploading from iOS? Can we do it with meta data? date? image-${index}? #678
• robodog: Simplify Robodog — yes to easy few lines of code Transloadit experience, but currently it’s hard to choose between modes, decide what you need.
• Can Uppy upload a lot of files at once? Seems to fail now: https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/3313 (@aduh95, @Murderlon)
• Consider how we can make Uppy smaller. Replace some packages with smaller alternatives. Talk about Socket.io again (@aduh95)
• Better events — more data, consistency, naming (@Murderlon)

Dashboard

• Dashboard UI should support 20 providers (@arturi)
• Allow minimizing the Dashboard during upload (Uppy then becomes just a tiny progress indicator) (@arturi)
• Display data like image resolution on file cards. should be done by thumbnail generator maybe #783
• Possibility to edit/delete more than one file at once. example: add copyrigh info to 1000 files #118, #97
• Possibility to work on already uploaded / in progress files. We'll just provide the fileId to the file-edit-complete event so that folks can more easily roll out custom code for this themselves #112, #113, #2063
• Focus jumps weirdly if you remove a file https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/2161#issuecomment-613565486
• A mini UI that features drop & progress (may involve a mini: true options for dashboard, may involve drop+progress or new plugin) (@arturi)
• Add a Load More button so you don't have to TAB endlessly to get to the upload button (https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/1419)

New plugins

• WordPress Back-end plugin. Should be another Transloadit Integration based on Robodog Dashboard(?) we should add a provider, and possibly offer already-uploaded content
• WordPress Front-end Gravity Forms Uppy plugin so one form field could be an Uppy-powered file input
• A WakeLock based plugin that keeps your phone from going to sleep while an upload is ongoing https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/1725
• Improve image editor: filters for images, no crashes (@aduh95)

New providers

• Google Photos (#2163)
• MediaLibrary provider which shows you files that have already been uploaded #450, #1121, #1112 #362
• Giphy image search (on top of Unsplash plugin) ()
• Image search (via Google or Bing or DuckDuckGo): use duckduckgo-images-api or Google Search API (@arturi)
• Vimeo #2872
• box: add to https://uppy.io/examples/dashboard/ (@mifi)

Miscellaneous

• goldenretriever: make it work with aws multipart https://community.transloadit.com/t/resumable-aws-s3-multipart-integration/14888 (@goto-bus-stop)
• provider: add sorting (by date) #254
• qa: add one integration test (or add to existing test) that uses more exotic (tus) options such as useFastRemoteRetry or removeFingerprintOnSuccess https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/1327 (@arturi, @ifedapoolarewaju)
• react: Add a React Hook to manage an Uppy instance https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/1247#issuecomment-458063951 (@goto-bus-stop)
• rn: Uppy React Native works with Expo, now let's make it work without
• rn: Uppy React Native works with Url Plugin, now let's make it work with Instagram
• security: consider iframe / more security for Transloadit/Uppy integration widget and Uppy itself. Page can’t get files from Google Drive if its an iframe
• statusbar: Add a confirmation of the cancel action (https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/1418) as well as ask the user if they really want to navigate away while an upload is in progress via onbeforeunload (@arturi)
• uploaders: consider not showing progress updates from the server after an upload’s been paused. Perhaps the button can be disabled and say Pausing.. until Companion has actually stopped transmitting updates (@arturi, @ifedapoolarewaju)
• xhr: allow sending custom headers per file (as proposed in #785)
• website: It would be nice in the long run to have a dynamic package builder here right on the website where you can select the plugins you need/want and it builds and downloads a minified version of them? Sort of like jQuery UI: https://jqueryui.com/download/
• webcam: Specify the resolution of the webcam images/video. We should add a way to specify any custom 'constraints' (aspect ratio, resolution, mimetype (/video/mp4;codec=h264), bits per second, etc) to the Webcam plugin #876
• Constructor to build Uppy with what you need, “Dashboard example meets Transloadit Wizard”. Select language, modes, providers — get code ready to use. Maybe integrate Transloadit Wizard in there as well (@arturi, @Murderlon)

Needs research

• Add a prepublish test that checks if npm pack is not massive (@goto-bus-stop)
• Add https://github.com/pa11y/pa11y for automated accessibility testing?
• Add lighthouse for automated performance testing?
• Switch one existing e2e test to use Parcel (create-react-app already using webpack) (@arturi)
• Add typescript with JSDoc for @uppy/core https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Type-Checking-JavaScript-Files (@arturi)
