+## 🗺️ Roadmap
+
+### 1. Core stability
+
+- [ ] Switch from `ast.literal_eval` to `json` for messages.
+- [ ] Add proper reconnect with heartbeat (ping/pong, timeouts).
+- [ ] Clean error handling (no leaking stack traces to clients).
+- [ ] Limit message size and frequency (basic anti-spam).
+
+### 2. Security improvements
+
+- [ ] Per-client symmetric keys instead of one global key.
+- [ ] Upgrade RSA 512 → 2048 (or curve25519 ECDH + HKDF).
+- [ ] Replace shared password with invite tokens or session-based bearer tokens.
+- [ ] Force WSS (TLS) for production.
+
+### 3. Chat features
+
+- [ ] Multiple rooms (room_id support).
+- [ ] Commands (`/nick`, `/clear`, `/help`, `/quit`).
+- [ ] Message timestamps + sequence numbers.
+- [ ] Delta updates (only send new messages instead of full history).
+
+### 4. UX / Client
+
+- [ ] Local encrypted history (optional).
+- [ ] Customizable renderers (rich, minimal, json mode).
+- [ ] Quiet reconnection status indicator.
+- [ ] Configurable message buffer length.
+
+### 5. File & media
+
+- [ ] File transfer via encrypted chunks.
+- [ ] Inline images (optional, in rich renderer).
+
+### 6. Deployment & Ops
+
+- [ ] Dockerfile + docker-compose (server + client).
+- [ ] Add uvloop + multiple Sanic workers.
+- [ ] Graceful shutdown & restart.
+- [ ] Systemd service unit for server.
+
+### 7. Privacy & audit
+
+- [ ] Disable sensitive logs (no passwords/tokens in logs).
+- [ ] Minimal server metrics: connected users, msg/sec.
+- [ ] Configurable retention (in-memory only vs file-based).
