Roadmap

This page tracks status honestly rather than optimistically. Anything listed as planned has no date attached, because Konode is a small independent project and a date would be a guess.

Working today

• Shipped

  Chromium browsers

  Chrome, Brave, Helium, and ungoogled-chromium, via the Chrome Web Store.

• Shipped

  Three storage backends

  Google Drive with the narrow drive.file scope, GitHub with a fine-grained token on a single private repository, and WebDAV against any compliant server.

• Shipped

  Four data types

  Bookmarks with two-way sync and tombstoned deletions, open tabs and sessions, de-duplicated history, and the installed-extension list.

• Shipped

  Optional end-to-end encryption

  AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2-SHA256 key derivation over 600,000 iterations, available on every backend.

• Shipped

  Configurable conflict resolution

  Newest change wins, always prefer this device, always prefer the other, or resolve each conflict yourself.

In progress

• Beta

  Firefox

  A dedicated Firefox build exists and works, including original history visit times, which Chromium cannot do. The Add-ons listing is still in progress, so for now it has to be built and loaded as a temporary add-on. The setup guide covers how.

Planned

• Planned

  Mega backend

  A fourth storage option. Not available yet, and not started in any usable form.

Not planned

Some things get asked for regularly and are not coming, for reasons worth stating plainly:

• No

  Password sync

  Browser extensions cannot read the browser's native password store. That is a security boundary the browser enforces, so this is not something Konode can choose to add. Use a dedicated password manager.

• No

  A hosted Konode backend

  Running a server would undo the entire point. Your data goes to storage you already control, which is only true as long as there is nothing in the middle.

• No

  Analytics or telemetry

  Not now and not later, including the anonymous, aggregated kind. Bug reports through GitHub issues are how Konode finds out what is broken.
