Roadmap

What’s working today, what’s coming soon, and what’s planned later. Use the Feedback page if you want to push something up the list or flag something missing.

Status board

Three lanes, one direction.

Progress reads left to right: shipped and live now, in active development, then on the horizon. Same blueprint, more capability layered in.

Edit your server visually
Configure roles, channels, categories, and permissions directly — drag to reorder, set overrides, no JSON.
Organize roles into bands
Group roles by purpose — staff, color, activity, members — ordered correctly with one click.
Generate or edit with AI
A copy-paste prompt builds or changes a blueprint — Packet features included, not just channels and roles.
Pull a live server in
Clean output — channels grouped under categories, inheritance recognized, Discord defaults omitted.
Diff before you apply
Every change in plain language; removed channels and roles are archived by default, not deleted.
Snapshot before every apply
Automatic backups plus optional scheduled snapshots; restore any one if something looks wrong.
Self-serve roles & colors
Role pickers, color roles, activity roles, sticky and temporary roles — all member-facing.
Welcomes, schedules & forums
Join/leave/ban messages, scheduled announcements, and forum polls — in the same blueprint.
AutoMod & native controls
AutoMod filters, the invite welcome screen, and the server widget, managed from your blueprint.
Moderate & support members
Warn/mute/kick/ban with case history and an escalation ladder, private support tickets, and a server activity log.
Go-live & content alerts
Announce when a creator goes live or posts — Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Reddit, and more — with an optional 🔴 Live role.
Templates & slash parity
Save, reuse, and share templates; the same flows in Discord with the same confirmation gates.

Roadmap

What's working today, what's coming soon, and what's planned later. Plans change as we learn what people need — use the Feedback page if you want to push something up the list or flag something missing.

What you can do today

Manage your server's structure

  • Author blueprints in the dashboard editor with autocomplete, inline validation, and a Reference sidebar with worked examples for every field.
  • Edit your server visually. The Configure tab edits your roles, channels, categories, and permissions directly — rename, add, remove, drag to reorder, collapse categories, and set both per-role permissions and per-channel and per-category permission overrides — without hand-editing the underlying document.
  • Organize roles into bands. Group roles by purpose — staff, color, activity, members — and keep them ordered correctly with one click.
  • Generate or edit a blueprint with AI. The AI Blueprint page hands you a copy-pasteable prompt — build a brand-new blueprint from scratch or change an existing one — and the AI walks you through the rest. It now sets up Packet's features too (welcomes, scheduled messages, forums, role pickers, and more), not just channels and roles. Packet sends nothing to an AI itself; you paste the prompt into the AI of your choice.
  • Pull a live server into a blueprint with clean output — channels grouped under categories, permission inheritance recognized, Discord defaults omitted.
  • Restructure without losing message history. The Migrate panel pairs blueprint entries to live channels by id, so renames and category swaps preserve messages instead of delete-and-recreate.
  • See every change in plain language before it runs — what gets created, renamed, moved, edited, reordered, or removed — on the Diff page and in the editor. Removed channels and roles are safely archived by default, not deleted.
  • Snapshot before every apply — automatically — plus optional scheduled snapshots that back up your whole server on a timer. Restore any snapshot if something looks wrong.
  • Watch every apply stream live — operation-by-operation progress as it runs.
  • Save, reuse, and share templates across every server you manage.
  • Download or delete your data any time from Settings → Privacy & data.
  • Slash command parity. The same flows are available in Discord, with the same confirmation gates.
  • Discord-native controls. Manage AutoMod filters, the invite welcome screen, and the embeddable server widget from your blueprint.

Engage your members

These are Packet's built-in features — all configured in your blueprint and editable in the Configure tab. The Guide walks through each one.

  • Self-serve role pickers. A message where members click buttons (or a dropdown) to add and remove their own roles, plus a starter role granted automatically on join.
  • Color roles. Offer a preset palette members pick from, or let them choose any custom name color — Packet handles the role bookkeeping so your member list stays tidy.
  • Activity roles. Auto-assign a hoisted role while a member is playing a game or using an app (like Spotify), so the member list groups people by what they're doing.
  • Sticky and temporary roles. Restore a member's roles when they rejoin, and grant roles that automatically expire.
  • Welcomes, goodbyes & ban notices. Post a message when a member joins, leaves, or is banned — plain text or a rich embed card with variables like the member's name and your member count — plus an optional pinned welcome panel and a welcome DM.
  • Scheduled messages. Post recurring announcements on a schedule — every few hours, or on set days and times in your timezone.
  • Go-live & content alerts. Announce when a creator goes live or posts new content — Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Reddit, Steam, Bluesky, and more — with a rich card and an optional "🔴 Live" role while they stream.
  • Forums & community polls. Packet runs an engagement loop on a forum: it opens polls of the top posts, announces the winner, can pin a rules/first post, and archives stale threads.
  • AutoMod. Manage Discord's native keyword, spam, profanity, and mention-spam filters from your blueprint.
  • Welcome screen & server widget. Set Discord's invite-time welcome screen and the embeddable server widget, with a copy-ready embed builder.

Moderate & support your members

  • Moderation. Warn, mute, kick, and ban with a real case history and a configurable escalation ladder — run from /mod in Discord. Discord's own actions and AutoMod hits feed the same record, so repeat offenders escalate even when no staff are online.
  • Support tickets. A one-click panel opens a private, staff-only help room — Packet writes the permissions so a ticket can't leak. Claim, close, and triage tickets from Discord or a dashboard, across every server you manage.
  • Server logging. Mirror joins, leaves, role changes, bans, and edits to a log channel and a dashboard activity feed, so you always have a record of who did what.
  • Packet updates. Opt in to receive Packet's own announcements — new features and fixes — in a channel you choose.

Coming soon

  • Personal draft blueprints. Work on a blueprint privately before committing it as the server's authoritative spec — handy when you're experimenting.
  • Validate from Discord. Run a blueprint check with a slash command without opening the dashboard.

Planned later

  • Game-server integration. Connect Packet to the game servers you run so members can vote on settings, features, or a restart — bringing the same "let the community decide" flow to your games.
  • A richer starting library. A browsable gallery of common patterns (verified-only category, role-gated channel, welcome flow) you can drop into a blueprint.
  • More maintenance helpers. Automate routine upkeep so running a big server doesn't fall on one person — activity-tuned slow-mode, scheduled cleanup, and an optional announcer that posts a summary when an apply runs.
  • An opt-in AI assistant. A helper that can read your server's state and assist with authoring and questions — read-only first, with any changes gated behind a clear permission.
