Let's build this together.
This isn't a corporate roadmap designed to impress investors. Right now it's just me, building the tool I use every day to build everything else. Every feature here exists because I needed it — and I think you will too.
“Vera means truth — so here's ours. No vaporware, no ‘coming H2’ hand-waving. I use Vera to build Vera, every single day. When something's missing, I feel it first. This roadmap is my actual to-do list.”
