roadmapv0.1, May 2026

SCALE BY SKILLS,
NOT BY CODE.

Noctel grows by enabling more Aeon skills, not by rebuilding infrastructure. Each phase below is independently shippable. Halt anywhere.

    PERSONAL FEED

    Reader account + personalization

    Noctel learns what you actually open. Tailors the feed to you alone.

    Month 2-3
  4. Phase 4

    REASONING TRAIL

    Transparency-as-feature

    Every claim, every cost, every failed audit. Published openly.

    Month 3-4
  5. Phase 5

    COMMUNITY-FED SOURCES

    Beyond founder curation

    Anyone can submit a source. Quality leaderboard decides what stays.

    Month 4-6
  6. Phase 6

    AGENT-TO-AGENT

    MCP + A2A protocol exposure

    Other agents start asking Noctel for data. We become infrastructure.

    Month 6+

DECISION PRINCIPLES

  • 01Skill before code. If aeon.yml flag does it, don't write new code.
  • 02One new column per phase max. New skills go to new pages first.
  • 03Free tier forever for reading. Monetize only at Phase 6 if at all.
  • 04Public over private. Sources, agent log, cost reports. All public.
  • 05Halt anywhere. Each phase is independently shippable.

NOT ON THIS ROADMAP

  • Mobile app (web first, forever)
  • User accounts (magic link only)
  • Token (not now, probably never)
  • Real-time push notifications (cron + email is enough)
  • Multi-language (English-only until 5k daily readers)
  • Trading features (we're a read product)
