+# Vision & Philosophy
 
-Filestash started as an attempt to solve the "Dropbox problem" by abstracting the storage layer, allowing you to "bring your own backend" by implementing this interface:
+Our goal is simple: **to build the best web based file manager ever made. Period.** But "best" means different things to different people, and making Filestash modular is the only sane model to accomplish that. Anything that isn't a fundamental truth of the universe and might spark a debate belongs in a plugin.
+
+This modularity is made possible by the magic of programming interfaces. For example, if you want a [Dropbox-like frontend for FTP](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224), you will find out the [FTP plugin](https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/server/plugin/plg_backend_ftp) simply implements this interface:
 ```go
 type IBackend interface {
-	Init(params map[string]string, app *App) (IBackend, error) // constructor
 	Ls(path string) ([]os.FileInfo, error)           // list files in a folder
 	Cat(path string) (io.ReadCloser, error)          // download a file
 	Mkdir(path string) error                         // create a folder
 	Rm(path string) error                            // remove something
 	Mv(from string, to string) error                 // rename something
 	Save(path string, file io.Reader) error          // save a file
 	Touch(path string) error                         // create a file
-	LoginForm() Form                                 // dynamic form generation for the login
+
+	// I have omitted 2 other methods, a first one to enable connections reuse and
+	// another one to declare what should the login form be like.
 }
 ```
 
-The software is effectively 2 distinct parts: Core and [Plugins](https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/server/plugin). Plugins act as "Lego blocks" that shape all the opinions on how the file manager operates, such as who can do what and where (aka, the authorisation), how the search features work (e.g., recursive search, full text search, ...), how users are authenticated (e.g., passthrough to the storage layer, LDAP, OIDC, SAML, signed URLs), how the application behaves when opening different file types, etc...
+There are interfaces you can implement for every key component of Filestash: from storage, to authentication, authorisation, custom apps, search, thumbnailing, frontend patches, middleware, endpoint creation and a [few others](https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/server/common/plugin.go).
 
-The architecture is designed to enable implementers to build file managers that are fit for purpose. To cite an example, several control panels for elevators in Europe feature QR codes generated by Filestash. Technicians responsible for their maintenance scan these QR codes to access the complete history of the elevator, upload new records, access relevant external resources, and view a banner displaying location specific metadata from the ERP. What would have been a complex custom solution was made possible through the addition of two plugins: one for QR code generation and another for ERP integration. Everything else was off the shelf.

+# Roadmap
+
+There are 2 major pieces of work currently underway:
+
+<ol>
+    <li>Making Filestash able to open virtually anything. Thanks to plugin, we're adding support for files your browser has never heard of, from astrophysics to embroidery patterns. Concretly we have added support for:
+        <ul>
+            <li>photography: .heif, .nef, .raf, .tiff, .raw, .arw, .sr2, .srf, .nrw, .cr2, .crw, .x3f, .pef, .rw2, .orf, .mrw, .mdc, .mef, .mos, .dcr, .kdc, .3fr, .erf and .srw</li>
+            <li>astronomy: fits, xisf</li>
+            <li>science stuff with compilers for latex, plantuml & pandoc</li>
+            <li>music: mid, .midi, .gp4 and .gp5</li>
+            <li>GIS: .geojson, .shp, .gpx, .wms and .dbf</li>
+            <li>data engineering: .parquet, .arrow, .feather, .avro, .orc, .hdf5, .h5, .netcdf, .nc, .rds, .rda and .rdata</li>
+            <li>dev: .a, .so, .o, .dylib, .dll, .har, .cap, .pcap, .pcapng and sqlite</li>
+            <li>creative work: svg, psd, ai, sketch, cdr, woff, woff2, ttf, otf, eot, exr, tga, pgm, ppm, dds, ktx, dpx, pcx, xpm, pnm, xbm, aai, xwd, cin, pbm, pcd, sgi, wbmp and rgb</li>
+            <li>biomedical: dicom, sam, bam, cif, pdb, xyz, sdf, mol, mol2 and mmtf</li>
+            <li>autodesk: dwg and dxf</li>
+            <li>adobe: psd, ai, xd, dng, postscript, aco, ase, swf</li>
+            <li>3d: fbx, gltf, obj, stl, step, mesh, ifc, dae</li>
+            <li>embroidery: .dgt, .dst, .dsb, .dsz, .edr, .exp, .10o, .col, .hus, .inf, .jef, .ksm, .pcm, .pcs, .pes, .sew, .shv, .sst, .tap, .u01, .vip, .vp3. and .xxx</li>
+            <li>there is more to come as we stumbled upon new niches and spend time talking to real people.</li>
+        </ul>
+    </li>
+    <li>Getting to v1.0. Filestash is already rock solid, it has been in active development for over 8 years. But the bar for v1.0 will be reached when Filestash is objectively better than Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box by every single measurable metric we care about. That's the mission.</li>
+</ol>
