Vault Development Roadmap

This document outlines the ongoing development priorities and completed milestones for the vault.flouda.io project. The roadmap is organized into three main areas: vault infrastructure, dotfiles automation, and content development.

Current Focus Areas

The development effort is concentrated on three interconnected components that form the foundation of the personal knowledge management system:

Vault Infrastructure

Building and maintaining the technical foundation that powers vault.flouda.io, including the static site generation, deployment pipeline, and user experience enhancements.

Dotfiles Automation

Creating robust automation scripts and configurations that enable quick environment setup and consistent development workflows across different systems.

Content Development

Expanding the knowledge base with comprehensive guides, cheatsheets, and documentation that serves both personal reference and public knowledge sharing.

Vault Infrastructure Development

Completed Milestones ✅

Core Infrastructure

  • Search Engine Indexing: Successfully indexed vault.flouda.io in major search engines for improved discoverability
  • Script Deployment: Implemented separate script serving system for better organization and direct script access
  • Analytics Integration: Added visitor analytics to track content usage and identify popular resources
  • Visual Identity: Updated favicon and branding elements for professional appearance
  • Code Display: Enhanced code block formatting with text wrapping for better readability on all devices
  • Gruvbox Theme Integration: Successfully integrated Gruvbox theme with Quartz4 for consistent visual experience using the complete Quartz4 setup guide
  • Sync Solution: Developed and implemented the automated vault synchronization system with interactive and quick modes for git operations
  • Layout Optimization: Refined page layouts and navigation for improved user experience

Active Development 🔄

Upcoming Infrastructure Improvements

  • Advanced Planning: Develop comprehensive upgrade strategy and long-term vault management procedures
  • Blog Integration: Research and implement blog functionality within the existing Quartz4 framework
  • Content Refactoring: Systematic review and improvement of existing vault content for consistency and quality

Technical Implementation Notes

The vault infrastructure leverages Quartz4 as the static site generator, deployed via GitLab Pages. The choice of Quartz4 provides excellent performance for knowledge base applications while maintaining the flexibility needed for ongoing customization.

Dotfiles Automation System

Completed Automation Features ✅

Core Setup Scripts

  • Environment Installer: Created the comprehensive setup script that configures the entire Hyprland development environment from scratch on Arch Linux
  • Neovim Setup: Implemented the cross-platform Neovim configuration with Ubuntu support for server deployments and automated dependency management
  • Minimal Server Option: Added lightweight installation option for server-side usage without desktop components through the Neovim setup utility
  • Waybar Integration: Developed emoji and symbol picker integration for enhanced productivity

Desktop Environment Configuration

  • Environment Documentation: Comprehensive documentation of the complete development environment setup with detailed step-by-step instructions
  • Neovim Configuration: Detailed configuration management for the text editor setup including plugins, LSP, and advanced features
  • Terminal Setup: Standardized terminal configuration across different systems as part of the desktop environment
  • Hyprland Keybindings: Organized and documented window manager keybindings for efficient workflow in the environment guide
  • Screenshot Management: Configured grimblast for screenshot capture and management
  • Terminal Emulator: Optimized kitty terminal configuration for development work
  • Window Management: Implemented floating window rules for specific applications
  • Sync Automation: Developed the dotfiles synchronization service for configuration consistency with advanced blacklist patterns
  • Modular Configuration: Split Hyprland configuration into manageable, maintainable components
  • Monitor Management: Added keybindings for seamless monitor switching in multi-display setups
  • System Monitoring: Fixed waybar temperature widget for proper system monitoring
  • Repository Automation: Implemented automatic repository synchronization utilities

Planned Enhancements 🔄

Window Management Improvements

  • Advanced Keybindings: Implement window resizing and movement keybindings for both Hyprland and Neovim
  • Visual Documentation: Add comprehensive screenshots of Neovim and desktop setup for reference

Development Philosophy

The dotfiles automation system follows a modular, cross-platform approach that prioritizes:

  • Reproducibility: Any system can be configured identically using the automation scripts
  • Flexibility: Support for both full desktop and minimal server installations
  • Maintainability: Configuration is split into logical components for easy updates
  • Documentation: Every component is thoroughly documented for future reference

Content Development Pipeline

Completed Content Projects ✅

Technical Guides
