The Swoonstack Roadmap
What we’re building, planning and testing.
Swoonstack is still growing, and we want to build it thoughtfully – not rush out half-working features that don’t serve the romance reading community.
Our roadmap shows what we’re working on, what’s coming next, and what we’d love your feedback on. Some features may shift as we test, learn, and listen, but our goal stays the same: to make romance discovery calmer, smarter, safer, and more joyful.
